Recommended external power supply:
For TX and RX only (No LED Driver) operation, an external DC power supply of +7V to 33V is required
and must be able to supply at least 1A.
For RX + LED Driver operation, additional current is required to power the LED drivers. The input
voltage should be selected to match the LED drivers being driven. Care should be taken to ensure
there is enough DC voltage available to allow all series LED’s to operate at their specified operating
voltage.
For 350mA LED output current mode an additional 1.4A is required -> 3A is recommended
For 700mA LED output current mode an additional 2.8A is required -> 4A is recommended.
