DS1 User Manual 1. HARDWARE / Module setup Module setup The DS1 PSU has two eccentric lock mounts. One on the short and one on the long side of the PSU. The mounting procedure is identical to the tripod setup. The “default” mounting point for the module is on the short side of the PSU. It is important to make sure before the Light Module is Fastened to know the orientation of the PSU so that the input sockets of the PSU (DMX IN, AC/DC) would be facing downwards.
