Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source voltage in your area matches the required
voltage for your AL-Driver-8RGBW power supply. The AL-Driver-8RGBW is available in a
120v and 230v version. Due to variations in line voltage from venue to venue, be sure to
plug your power supply into a wall outlet with matching power before attempting to operate.
*Note:

3.2. Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements:
If you are constructing your own data cables, be sure to use
standard two conductor shielded cable (This cable may be
purchased at almost all professional sound and lighting stores).
Your cables should be made with a 3-pin male and female XLR
connector on either end of the cable. Also remember that DMX
lines must be daisy chained and can't be split.

Be sure to follow figures two and three when making your own cables. Do not use the
ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable's shield conductor to the ground
lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR's outer casing. Grounding
the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.
The AL-Driver-8RGBW can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol and your DMX controller
requires a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output(Figure1). Connect
the AL-Driver-8RGBW and your fixtures together using standard 3 pin DMX cables. The AL-
Driver-8RGBW uses DMX-512 protocol to operate your fixtures.
