FK Irons Darklab Hover Power Supply

SAFETY NOTICE

A Class III appliance is designed to be supplied from a separated/safety extra-low voltage (SELV) power source. The voltage from a SELV supply is low enough that under normal conditions a person can safely come into contact with it without risk of electrical shock. The extra safety features built into Class I and Class II appliances are therefore not required. For medical devices, compliance with Class III is not considered sufficient protection, and furthermore, stringent regulations apply to such equipment.

E-GIVE

With this feature you’ll be able to control the amount of “give” or resistance of the needle upon impact with the skin. This enables the artist to take advantage of the softness or hardness of hit to achieve specific results. 0 no effect, 5 maximum amount of E-give.

SETTING E-GIVE
There are 6 settings for E-give, 0 through 5. Change the setting by swiping down and up on the bars. The higher the setting the higher the amount of give. 0 = no give, 5 = maximum give.
E-GIVE INDICATOR
The number displayed is the current E-give setting.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• VOLTAGE PARAMETERS
  While voltage is a parameter that will vary from artist to artist, the Hover has been tested to operate at a minimum voltage of around 2 Volts with a maximum voltage of 17 Volts. Depending on the type of needle configuration or brand you use, feel free to adjust the voltage to obtain the desired performance. NOTE: Some machines require a minimum voltage to operate correctly, please check your machine manufacturers requirements.
