4. Power Requirements
APC panels require DC power for operation. The power is applied on the RJ45
cabling that also carries DMX signal from panel to panel and through the lighting
system. If the system includes a Leprecon APC Hub, the power supply requirements
are handled by the Hub.
Power supplies must be in the range of 9 to 12 volts DC. The DC common should be
isolated from the AC chassis ground to prevent ground loops in the DMX system.
A supply capable of delivering 1 amp at 12V will power ten panels in a system.
Connection to the panels is shown below.
Power supply common is tied to pins 3, 5 and 7, +12V is tied to pins 4, 6, and 8.
Color code is based on the T568A standard.

4 blue V+
5 white / blue Common

8 brown V+
5. Mounting requirements
APC panels fit in almost any standard electrical back box or low voltage box.
The required box for each panels is shown below:
Panel Box size Outside width
APC-1P 1 gang 3.59"
APC-3P 1 gang 3.59"
APC-6P 2 gang 5.41"
APC-12P 3 gang 7.22"
The panel faceplate extends beyond the edges of the back box.
If multiple faceplates are to be installed in the same back box, add 1 gang to the
back box for each additional faceplate.
Each APC panel ships with mounting screws.
