OPERATION
Ensure the polarity is correct when establishing a connection. The positive
terminal of the cable is identified by a white line and a sticker showing a +.
Ensure the power supply unit’s open ends are insulated with suitable insulating
material at all times. This applies to the power supply unit whether it is installed
or not.
Always unplug the power plug first before disconnecting the connectors from
the consumer.
1. LEDs and LED strips already feature soldering points where the power supply unit’s open
ends can be attached. Ensure the polarity is correct. After assembly, insulate the connections
with suitable insulating material such as heat shrink tubing.
2. Set the required voltage (3 / 4.5 / 5 / 6 / 7.5 / 9 / 12 V/DC) with the key.
3. Connect the mains plug to a standard mains socket (100 – 240 V/AC, 50/60 Hz). The LED
on the top of the power adapter indicates operational readiness.
4. Remove the power adapter from the mains when it is no longer in use.
CLEANING
• When cleaning, the power adapter must be disconnected from mains socket.
• Only use dry and soft cloth to clear the housing of the power adapter.
• Do not use abrasive or solvents.
