Setting Up the Base System
This is the Monster Brain.
Make sure it is located inside
a building or a weather proof
enclosure.

Connect one end of the
communications cable here.
This is where the Monster Brain
communicates with the external light
controllers. Both plugs are labeled
“RS485” and either plug will work.
Connect the small plug of the wall
transformer here. Do not plug the
transformer into the wall outlet yet.
Determine the final location for the light controllers (mindful of the power requirements mentioned above),
Monster Brain and speakers.
On the back of the Monster
Brain is a standard 1/8” stereo
mini jack for connecting your
amplified speakers. It is labeled
Audio. You may also use this
connection as the input for your
external amplifier.
Your light controller enclosure can
be located outside but make sure the
access holes are pointing down so
rain water cannot enter the unit.
