AC Power

 

Each MVP™ has an auto-ranging power supply that works with an input voltage range of

 

 

100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure that you are connecting the MVPs to the proper voltage, as specified in this

 

 

User Manual and on the product’s specification sticker.

 

 

 

 

 

Always connect this product to a protected circuit with an appropriate electrical

 

 

ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.

 

 

 

 

 

To determine the power requirements for each MVP™ in the series, refer to the label

 

 

affixed to the product. You can also refer to the Technical Specifications chart in this

 

 

manual.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation. For

 

more information, you may download Sizing Circuit Breakers from the CHAUVET®

Never connect this product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if

 

the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0% to 100% switch.

AC Plug

 

Each MVP™ comes with a power linking cord to connect power between panels; however,

 

 

the power input cord is not included.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The power input cord must be purchased separately. CHAUVET® recommends the

 

 

Neutrik® powerCON® extension cable, item number PCEXT50FT, available from

 

 

CHAUVET®.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This cable has a powerCON connector to connect to the MVP™ and a bare plug for power
