Use the mains cable provided and attach it to the AC input socket on the Challenges but do not connect it to the wall mains socket yet.
Next, connect the DC plug on the output cable to the DG-1 or the Tempo Motor Drive. Now you can plug the mains cable into the wall socket. The green Power LED light on the Challenge and the power indicator lights on the DG-1 or the Tempo should now all illuminate.
