Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulations on purchasing one of the newest, brightest, most impressive panels on the market! Now that you’ve got your COBZilla™ COB RGB 5X5 Pixel Matrix (or hopefully, COBZillas™!), you should carefully unpack the box and check the contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If anything looks as if it has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and keep the packing material for inspection.
Again, please save the carton and all packing materials. If a xture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the xture be returned in the original factory box and pack-
ing.
Powering Up!
All xtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheo­stat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.
AC Voltage Switch - Not all xtures have a voltage select switch, so please verify that the xture you receive is suitable for your local power supply. See the label on the xture or refer to the xture’s specications chart for more information. A xture’s listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the xture or device
carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection switch exists that it is set to the correct line voltage you will use.
Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit matches the line volt-
age applied. Damage to your xture may result if the line voltage applied does not match the voltage indicated on the voltage selector switch. All xtures must
be connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).
