INSTRUCTIONS
- For professional installation only
- Use SELV power supplies of 24 Volts DC
- Ensure power supplies are equiped with short circuit and over current protection
- Mount in vertical orientation with air vents slots top and bottom
- Ensure adequate airflow / ventiallation
- Make all connections before energising
- Terminal blocks can be unplugged by first removing DD8 front cover
- Test loads before connection to DD8
- Use RDM equiped controller/tester to configure DMX start address and personalaties
IMPORTANT
If removing front cover to access pluggable terminal strips, ensure correct orientation on refitting! The 8 large MOSFET devices are located at the TOP of the DD8.
IMPORTANT
If removing front cover, ensure correct orientation on refitting!
