18 Outputs DC Power Distribution Panel

SmartWave's Hardwired shades require a 12V 2A power supply. We offer a compatible power panel with the following features:

• Power Input: AC 110V / 220V, 50/60Hz, 3.0A
• Power Output: DC 12V (adjustable), 2A × 18 channels
• Compatibility: Fully supports our shades with ample current capacity.
• Installation Options: Can be wall-mounted or installed in a cabinet.

Connecting the 12V DC Power Cable to the Distribution Board

Please follow the steps below to complete the connection:

1. Connect to the Distribution Board

Insert the power wires into the distribution board. Make sure the polarity is correct:

• The white wire is the positive (+) terminal.
• The black wire with dashed lines is the negative (–) terminal.

If the polarity is connected incorrectly, the blackout motor will not be damaged—simply reverse the connection to correct it.

2. Connect to the Shade Motor

Plug the male connector of the shade motor’s 12V DC power cable into the female connector of the cable connected to the distribution board.

3. Power Off

To disconnect power, simply unplug the cable. Operation and maintenance are both very easy.

Back Panel Instructions

① Output Power Indicator (Green)

• On (Green): Output channel is working normally
• Off: Output channel is in short-circuit or overload protection mode

② Pluggable Terminal

• Connect devices using 12–24 AWG wires

③ Output Voltage Adjustment Knob

• Adjusts the output voltage between 12V–14V
• Default factory setting: 12.5V DC

Note: When using 18AWG two-conductor wire, the recommended maximum power supply distance is about 300 feet. If a longer distance is required, you may adjust the DC distribution panel’s voltage knob to compensate, extending the supply distance to around 900 feet. Be sure to keep the voltage adjustment within the device’s allowable range to avoid damage or instability.

④ Selectable AC Input Voltage

• The AC input supports 110V or 220V and is switch-selectable

⑤ Standard IEC Power Socket

• Compatible with standard-size AC power cords
• Can be secured using the included fixed hook

⑥ Main Power Switch

• Turns the entire power supply unit on or off

⑦ Main Fuse

• Replaceable fuse holder
• Includes 1 spare fuse inside

Installation & Setup Guide

Installation Options (choose one)

Option A. Cabinet Installation
Attach the mounting ears to the power supply chassis, adjust them to the proper position, and secure the unit inside the cabinet with screws.

Option B. Wall Mounting
Rotate the mounting ears 90 degrees and fix the unit to the wall with 4 screws, as shown.

Option C. Tabletop Placement
Attach the included rubber footpads and place the unit on a flat surface (table not provided).

Wiring & Power-On Steps

Step 1. Preliminary Power Check
Insert the 3-core AC power cable (with ground), set input to 120V AC/60Hz, and turn on the power switch. Verify that the blue LED on the front panel lights up, indicating normal startup. After checking, turn off the power and proceed.

Step 2. Connect to Device
Use proper electronic wires to connect the power supply to your device. Ensure correct polarity (+ / –). Reversing polarity may damage the device.

Step 3. Secure AC Power Cable
After all connections are ready, fully insert the AC power cable and secure it with the fixing hook.

Step 4. Voltage Fine-Tuning
Turn on the power switch and check if the device operates normally. For long cable runs that cause voltage drop, measure the input voltage at the device. Use the rear voltage adjustment knob to slightly increase the output voltage to compensate.

• Default Output Voltage: 12.5VDC

• Note: Adjusting the knob will change all output port voltages simultaneously.
