Coupling Magic Icecycles If you want to run more than one Magic Icecycle synchronously, you have to obtain an optional buffer (43105-01) for each additional Magic Icecycle. 1) Connect the controller and the powersupply to the Magic Icecycle as you would do with a single standalone Magic Icecycle. 2) Connect the (optional) buffer to the buffer connector (7) of the controller for the first Magic Icecycle. 3) Each buffer needs to be connected to an additional power supply.
4) Connect the other side of the (optional) buffer to the second Magic Icecycle and so on. You can connect up to 50 Magic Icecycles in this way. 5) Make sure that each connection is set up properly and tighten the according nuts. 6) Check all connections, plug the power cable in a proper electrical power supply socket.
