Between

Joined Panels

Power cable panel connections can also use different configurations. The basic configuration to connect the main power supply from one panel to the next is as follows.

The main power is connected to the first panel’s Power Input or Output.

A powerCON® cable is then connected to the first panel’s Power Output and connected to the next panel’s Power Input.

The connections continue until all panels are connected.

The direction of the cables used to make the power connections can vary.

The power input cord for the main must be purchased separately. CHAUVET® recommends the Neutrik® powerCON® extension cable, item number PCLEAD50FT, available from CHAUVET®.

Connect power between the panels using the same procedure as the signal only using the Power Input and Power Output connectors. You must adhere to the power-linking specifications for each MVP™ model.

Refer to the Power Linking section for details on the number of panels that can be linked based on voltage from a single power connection.

Refer to the following diagram for an example of power connection from the main and to each connected panel.

This example is using an MVP™ 12 or 18, power linking 7 panels horizontally @ 120 V.
