Local module power
In the majority of installations, the local module will derive all of its power
successfully from the USB link with the computer system. However, if insufficient
voltage is available from the computer system, the green indicator
adjacent to the link connector will flash. If this occurs (or if you do
not intend to use the USB connection with the computer) you will
need to purchase and use a power supply identical to the one used
for the remote module from your Black Box stockist.

2 Attach the IEC power lead to the
power supply body and insert the
mains plug of the lead to a
nearby power outlet.
Note: If a power adapter is
plugged into the module but
not switched on, it will prevent
the unit from deriving power
from the USB connection.
