Installation

Power Supply
Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source voltage in your area matches the voltage
required for your lighting setup. Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue, be
sure your unit voltage matches the wall outlet voltage before attempting to operate. The
Springtree Wall Station uses a standard 12V power supply (provided with the SM-8). The
power for the SS-8 units are provided by the SM-8 via CAT5.
Mounting
The SM-8 and SS-8 come with a single gang mud ring. They will not fit in a standard single gang
box. Should you need to mount in a metal in-closed handy box please use a Raco 670RAC box
(pictured here, not included).
Connecting
Connect the SM-8 and SS-8 as shown below. Attention audio people: DMX is backwards from
audio. Pin 2 is negative and pin 3 is positive. Most of the time pin 2 will be a white wire and
sometimes it will be red. Pin 3 will always be black.
