AC power
The L7 has an auto-sensing switch-mode power supply that
automatically adapts to AC power at
90 - 264 V ~, 50 - 60 Hz (nom.).
Before you connect the L7 to AC power, check that:
• the dimmer knob at the fixture menu is set to 0%, and
• no DMX signal is present at the DMX-input of the L7.
You can hard-wire the L7 to a building electrical installation.
You can install a power plug that is suitable for the local power
outlets on the power cable. Socket outlets or external power
switches that supply the L7 with power must be located near
the product and easily accessible so that the L7 can easily be
disconnected from power.
