Using and connecting the DCP-SPS12 or DCP-SPCB.
This product is intended for indoor hobby use only. It is not suitable for un-supervised use by
children of any age. As with all electronic products, especially mains-connected products, it is
important that you read & understand these instructions before use.
Please be aware that wrong connection or misuse will invalidate all warranties and may also
cause irreversible or serious damage to any connected items. Therefore we ask you to carefully
observe the instructions and diagrams in this manual and wire DCP-SPS12 or DCP-SPCB in ac-
cordance to the information we have included into this manual.
Basic connection guidelines for DCP-SPS12 and DCP-SPCB (Power Input side)
(1) Input Connections for the DCP-SPCB board:
The SPS12 "Set" is supplied with the DCP-SPCB
and 2 x 12v 1.5 amp power supplies that should
be connected directly to the two power input
sockets. The power supplies that we include are
fitted with the correct plugs making this easy.
(2) If you intend to use DCP-SPCB with your own
power supplies, limit the voltage to 6~15v DC.
Both power supplies should be identical. Quality matters in power delivery so please be
quite sure that the power supplies that you choose are marked "regulated power sup-
plies" and that the plug is both the correct size and has a positive (+) centre connection.
TIP: Look for plug packs with a set of adapters. Many brands are sold with a series of
common plug size adapters. These will always include the correct plugs for DCP-SPCB.
(3) Plug adapters are not usually fixed polarity. So - please be sure to fit adapters correctly
so that the centre-pin is positive or your DCP-SPCB will not work and may be damaged.

DCP-SPS12 Split-Rail Power Supply
Output connection: Alpha-Switch & DCP-CPS
Basic connection guidelines for DCP-SPS12 and DCP-SPCB (Power Output side)
This combination of two individual power supplies with
DCP-SPCB creates a 3-wire (-) (+/-) (+) power supply
that simplifies polarity-change based switching via its
common terminal structure, making wiring easier.
Using it in place of a 2-wire power supply will greatly
reduce the number of wires you'll need to run around
the layout and will mean only half as much soldering!
α
(1) Using the DCP-SPS12 with Alpha-Switch A
This is a very simple connection to make. Just connect
the 3-wire output terminals of your DCP-SPCB power supply adapter to the 3 -wire power input
terminals of your Alpha-Switch PCB as per this illustration. DCCconcepts provide a 3-wire ribbon
cable to make this neat and tidy too.
The part number for the Ribbon Wire is DCD-RGB and each pack contains 5 metres.
The DCP-SPS12 power supply includes 2 x high quality 1.5A wall-plug type power supplies.
If wired in this it way will easily handle 20 or more Alpha-Switch Analog Switch packs
The DCCconcepts DCP-SPS12 contains power supplies manufactured,
tested and approved for use world wide. It is guaranteed for 12 months
We have done our best to provide clear usage instructions. We advise
you to follow these instructions carefully and ask you to contact us if
you need further advice (email sales@dccconcepts.com) as incorrect
use may cause damage not covered by any warranty or guarantees.
