Waterproof connectors not so easy to come by, even for me in the electrical trade, so I keep my powersupplies in the box with what they are powering.
Yes I would see a max current draw from the power supply of about the 12Amp mark as the amplifier is rated at 120W - thats 10A assuming its 100%...
Yes you can run just 1 cable, but not the 18 AWG that you mentioned- volt drop would be of concern and the cable would be getting warm to the touch.
I would sooner use 16 AWG but for preference 14 AWG as I see the max load would be about 12A.
The14 AWG would allow you to be alot further from...
I was wondering if any has had this issue with their Falcon F16V3
I was outside lastnight doing a bit of filming, when All the lights went out.
On inspection, I found that although everything was powered up, the F16 had shut down as if it had had it's power turned off.
The only way I could get...
I am running strings of 200 at 40% brillance and no power injection.
As for the self test- yes, but I find as the power supply does my FPP and outputs 9-16 of the F16V3 it lasts a very very short time due to the F16V3 power up time.
I changed the input plugs to the start of the string to a...
I am currently using 2000 GS8208 12V pixels

and like what I am seeing.
I have ordered this time...
a couple of things to check.
1 - do you have a battery in to power the 'real time clock'.
2 - does FPP have access to the internet
3 - have you selected the correct time zone.
This is my time setup
Those RCCB's only trip if they sense a imbalance of 30mA between phase and neural (A&N). There is no over current on it, so even if more that 63A are drawn through , it will still not trip.
Here's one for the those that love to delve into lab/testing side of things.
This year I have changed the pixels in my Tree (20 strings of 100), gone from 3 wire WS2811 to GS2808, tying data 2 too ground.
All testing of the strings using xlights and FPP on a Pi test bench showed that the were...
