AC Power

This product has an auto-

ranging power supply that can work with an input

voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.

To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve the lifespan, during periods

of non-use completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or

Power Linking

Power linking is when products are daisy chained together through their

Power In and Power Out sockets, so that many products can be powered

from one outlet.

For the maximum number of Mini Kinta™ IRC units that can be power

linked at 120 V or at 240 V, see the User Manual or the label on the product.

The User Manual is available at the Chauvet website

www.chauvetlighting.com/product-manuals-literature/.
