To use this Crestron CP3 3 - Series control system, you'll need to provide your own power supply. First, connect the system to your equipment as you would with a normal control system. Make sure the connections are secure. When using, keep it in a dry and well - ventilated place. As for maintenance, regularly check the connections to ensure they're still tight. If you notice any issues during use, such as unresponsiveness, check the power supply first. Remember, since it doesn't come with a power supply, you need to ensure the power supply you use is compatible with this system.
