3.1 Connecting BLOX to Power Supply

IMPORTANT WARNING: Please note, double check your Polarity - wiring a BLOX with reversed polarity power will destroy it. Also never work on wiring of any sorts while power is on. Double check all wiring before turning on the power supply in case any mistakes were made.
IMPORTANT WARNING: Please note, we recommend using our recommended Power supplies to ensure the safety and reliability of your BLOX. Good quality power supplies ensure good, clean power to the controller. Avoid power supplies marketed as “LED power supplies” as they tend to lack filtering/protection circuitry, that can result in fatal power surges that can destroy your BLOX. Use of other power supplies may affect your warranty.
