5 - CONNECTION TO THE MAINS SUPPLY
Each cabinet has an IN and OUT power connection (powercon true or powercon). It’s possible to con-
nect in chain many cabinets. To design the power cabling, it’s necessary to know the max power con-
sumption for each panel. It’s possible to see this info in the specications of the product
Examples:
Fig. 13
WARNING: For protection from electric shock, the panel must be earthed!
The product is equipped with auto-switching power supply that automatically adjusts to any 50-60Hz
AC power source from 110-230 Volts.
If you need to install a power plug on the power cable to allow connection to power outlets, install a
grounding-type (earthed) plug, following the plug manufacturer’s instructions. If you have any doubts
about proper installation, consult a qualied electrician.
The maximum power consumption of single panel is 120W.

7 - DATA CONNECTION
DATA CABLING
Each cabinet has an IN and OUT data connection (RJ45). Each data output of a Novastar processor,
can manage a max of 650.000 pixels. To design the cabling of data, it’s necessary to know the
resolution of each cabinet.
Examples:
Fig. 14
NOTE: it’s suggested to distribute the signal as evenly as possible between the various signal lines.
NOTE: it’s necessary to complete a row or a column with a data chain. It’s not possible to connect half
of a row or a column on a data chain.
MAIN AND BACKUP DATA LINE
For all Prolights led screen cabinet it’s possible to install a MAIN data line and a BACKUP data line. This
allows to see image on led screen in case of MAIN failure. MAIN and BACKUP need to be assigned
from the PC software to the outputs of the processor.
MAIN data cable comes from the output of the processor to the last cabinet of the chain.
BACKUP data cable come from the output of the last cabinet of the chain to the output of the proces-
sor.
