Power is needed on the F4v3 for two purposes:
(1) To power the controller itself
(2) To power the pixels which will be attached to the controller.
Unlike other Falcon controllers, the power for both
the pixels and the controller functionality are
powered by a single Power Connector. There is no
option for an external power connection on the F4v3.

WARNING: Do not connect the F4v3 directly to a typical
household outlet (110V AC Power) as this will damage
the controller. A DC power supply is required for operation.

Note that since the F4v3 uses power, it should be placed in a protective case
whenever it is being used. Furthermore, if being used outside, a watertight
case should be used to protect against the elements. The case needs to
allow for air circulation to allow for cooling of the controller during
operation. There are many premade cases and do it yourself alternatives
for cases and mounting the controller in them, which can be found on the
many christmas light forums or group pages.
F4V3 board
The Input Power Jumpers located on the right side of the board
(Figure 2-1), are used to select which voltage, either 5V or 7V to 13V,
is being used to power the controller. Both jumpers must be set to
the same selection. These jumpers must be set prior to applying
power to the controller in order for the board to function and to avoid
damage to the controller.

The F4v3 is shipped with the jumpers configured for using 12V Power. However, it
is always recommended that you check the jumpers before applying power to
the controller.

WARNING: It is possible to damage your board if you set the jumpers incorrectly!

WARNING: Do not remove or install the jumpers while the board is being powered.

If using 7V to 13V to power the controller, the Input Power Jumpers must be
placed on the left and center pins as shown in Figure 2-3. The F4v3 is
shipped with the jumpers in this position.
F16V3 board
Power is needed on the F16v3 for two purposes,
to power the pixels which will be attached to the
controller and to power the controller itself.
As most users will select their pixel type and
thus voltage prior to setting up the controller,
it is covered in the manual first. However, pixels
do not need to be attached to the controller to
power it up and configure the controller.

WARNING: Do not connect the F16v3 directly to a
typical household outlet (110V AC Power) as this
will damage the controller. A DC power supply is
required for operation.

Note that since the F16v3 uses power, it should be
placed in a protective case whenever it is being used.
Furthermore, if being used outside, a weather resistant
case should be used to protect against the elements.
The case may need to allow for air circulation to
allow for cooling of the controller during operation,
especially in warm climates. There are many premade
cases and do it yourself alternatives for cases and
mounting the controller in them, which can be found on
the many christmas light forums or group pages.

F16V3 board
The F16v3 is shipped with the jumpers configured for
using 12V Power on the V2 Power Connector to power the
controller. However, it is always recommended
that you check the jumpers before applying power to
the controller.

WARNING: It is possible to damage your board
if you set the jumpers incorrectly!

Use power from the V2 Power Connector to power the
controller. This will have the same voltage as the
pixels plugged into connectors 9 through 16.
Note that if you are using 5V pixels with a
high load (such as large pixels counts on these
ports, all set for white on full brightness),
the 5V power supply may experience a slight
power drop. This power drop may cause
instability with the controller as it is powered
from the same source as the pixels. Using an
independent power source connected to the External
Power Source, as described below, is recommended
in this case.
Connect an independent power source into the
External Power Connector (see Figure 2-3).
If using a 5V on the V2 Power Controller, using the External Power Connector rather than the V2 Power Connector is recommended as this is the most stable and reliable way to power the controller under this scenario.
F16V3 board
Power Selection Jumper
The Power Selection Jumper located on the right side of the board
(Figure 2-1), is used to select which source of power, either the V2 Power
Connector or the External Power Connector, will be used for the
Controller Power. This must be set prior to applying power to the
controller in order for the board to function and to avoid damage to the
controller.

WARNING: It is possible to damage your board if you set the jumpers incorrectly!

WARNING: Do not remove or install the jumpers while the board is being powered.

If using the V2 Power Connector to power the controller, the jumper must be placed on the
middle and bottom pins as shown in Figure 2-4.
The F16v3 is shipped with the jumper in this position.

F16V3 board
Input Power Jumpers
The Input Power Jumpers located near the center of the board
(Figure 2-1), are used to select which voltage,
either 5V or 7V to 13V, is being used to power the controller.
Both jumpers must be set to the same selection. These jumpers
must be set prior to applying power to the controller in order
for the board to function and to avoid damage to the controller.

WARNING: It is possible to damage your board if you set the
jumpers incorrectly!

WARNING: Do not remove or install the jumpers while the
board is being powered.

Note that the Input Power Jumpers are ONLY for the power source
which will be running the controller, NOT that which is being
output to the pixels.


If using 7V to 13V to power the controller via the power source
selected in Section 2.2.1, the Input Power Jumpers must be
placed on the left and center pins as shown in Figure 2-6.
The F16v3 is shipped with the jumpers in this position.
