Important! Connect the Maxxyz directly to AC power. Do not connect it to a dimmer system;
doing so may damage the console.
You may need to install a cord cap that fits your supply on the power cable. A 3-prong
grounding-type plug must be installed following the manufacturer’s instructions. The table below
shows some possible pin identification schemes; if the pins are not clearly identified, or if you
have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.
To apply power, set the power switch on the rear of the console to the “I” position.
