Power Connection
A stable power source must be provided to all devices in your system. As a
precaution, spread the load evenly and don’t overload any one circuit
breaker. Avoid power lines that are subject to noise and voltage spikes.
To connect Chassis power, connect AC power to the AC In connector on the
Lightning rear chassis panel.
To connect ShotBox power:
1. Connect AC power to the AC Input connector on the Universal
Power Supply.
2. Connect the Universal Power Supply’s miniature connector to the
Power connector on the ShotBox.
