4. ed to provide a means of switching power on and off if one is desired It is possible for example to use a mechanical switch or relay to switch on and off the 5 V DC between a power supply and the modules However it is generally preferable to switch the power supply on and off from the AC side For small scale installations this can be done with a simple power strip or light switch that controls a power outlet For a safe relay based solution we recommend the use of the Power Switch Tail For larger installations you may need to consult with a professional electrician Octolively User Guide 9 Disabling edge connectors part Edge connector JI Power can be normally be transmitted through any of the edge connectors If it is necessary to disconnect power between two neighboring modules you can do so by clipping the power jumpers near edge connectors connectors Jl and or J4 see006060 Clipping the two jumpers near JI will prevent power oO EAN from being transmitted through edge connector Jl PE and clipping the two jumpers near J4 will prevent power from being transmitted through edge connector J4 mumn WONG ea Eao lt J 2 9 i 2 N ss HHH First locate edge connectors and J4 Octolively User Guide 10 Disabling edge connectors part Il On pre assembled Octolively modules the two jumpers by the edge connectors are horizontal ze
