Darklab Hover Power Supply User Manual
SAFETY NOTICE
CLASS III SYMBOL 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.

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.
