AC Power

Each MVP™ has an auto-ranging power supply that works with an input voltage range of
100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.

Make sure that you are connecting the MVPs to the proper voltage, as specified in this
User Manual and on the product’s specification sticker.

Always connect this product to a protected circuit with an appropriate electrical
ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.

To determine the power requirements for each MVP™ in the series, refer to the label
affixed to the product. You can also refer to the

Technical Specifications

chart in this

manual.

The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation. For
more information, you may download Sizing Circuit Breakers from the CHAUVET®
website:

Never connect this product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if
the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0% to 100% switch.

AC Plug

Each MVP™ comes with a power linking cord to connect power between panels; however,
the power input cord is not included.

The power input cord must be purchased separately. CHAUVET® recommends the
Neutrik® powerCON® extension cable, item number PCEXT50FT, available from
CHAUVET®.

This cable has a powerCON connector to connect to the MVP™ and a bare plug for power
input. Use the table below as a reference to wire a new plug.
