I NSTALLATION 2
The Freekie comes with the following:
• 9 volt, 1 amp transformer
• User manual
POWER
The device is powered by a 9 volt DC transformer that is supplied with the product.
Connect this to a mains supply and plug it into the DC9V input at the back of the
Freekie.
Note If the plug on the transformer supplied does not match those in
use in your country you may need to purchase an adaptor.
Alternatively, any 9 volt DC transformer with an output of 1 amp
can be used.
CONNECTING THE SERIAL LINK
About serials links
The Freekie sends instructions through a serial data link. The link goes from the
controller’s output to the input of the first lighting fixture and then from the
fixture’s output to the input of the next fixture. It continues output-to-input in a
daisy-chain to all fixtures.
Up to 32 fixtures can be placed on a serial link without amplification.
Adaptor cables may be required when building the data link. There are two
differences to be aware of. First, both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets are common.
(Martin fixtures have 3-pin XLR sockets. On fixtures that have 5-pin XLR sockets,
pins 4 and 5 are not used.)
