AC Power
Intimidator™ Wave IRC has an auto-ranging power supply that can work with an
input voltage range of 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Power Linking
Power linking is when products are daisy chained together through their Power In
and Power Out sockets, so that many products can be powered from one outlet.
For the maximum number of Intimidator™ Wave IRCs that can be power linked at
120 V or at 240 V, see the User Manual or the label on the product.
The User Manual is available at the Chauvet website:
http://www.chauvetlighting.com/product-manuals-literature/.

1. Disconnect the product from power.
2. With a Phillips #2 head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder
cap from the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse.
4. Replace with a fuse of the same type and rating.
5. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.
Disconnect the product from power before replacing the fuse.
Mounting
Before mounting this product, read the Safety Notes. Use one or two mounting
points and one safety cable per product. Make sure the mounting clamps (such as
