Installation Details:
I suggest using 2 power supplies in "parallel mode" to get a total of 10Amps at 12Volts!
You can also run the system with just a single power supply but a "cut off protection" may occur after 8 to 10 continua's working hours due to higher current demand at a higher cable temperature!
The two power supplies must be paralleled correctly as follows:
Power supply output cables, positive to positive and negative to negative.
The 2 Power supplies must be positioned next to each other with equal lengths of the output 12 Volts cables!
Best way to do so is to use the power supply output cable; the 1st power supply to directly plug to led driver/receiver using the power plug and the second power supply output cable to be "cut" and its positive and negative cables to connect at the same driver/receiver (+ & -) connectors, found (next to the B,G,R,V+ connectors).
Next step is to connect the first 5 meters of the RGB Led Strip (connect the corresponding Led Strip Wires to terminals "B,G,R,V+" of the led driver/receiver); if necessary you may use extra cable for extending the length between the driver/receiver and the RGB Led Strip; in such a case take care for any "voltage drop" that may occur, use the correct cable size!
Connecting the remaining 5 meters (or less) of the RGB Led Strip:
its important to mention that it is suggested not to exceed the 8 meters length of RGB Led Strip on a single run; so the remaining RGB Led Strip can be directly connected from the end point of the first 5 meters run (if it is just a 3 meters piece) and in case of a 5 meters additional RGB Led Strip to be connected directly at the Led driver/receiver "B,G,R,V+" terminals by using the proper cables to avoid any voltage drop.
Note:
In practice we actually tested 10 meters of RGB Led Strip on a "single run" (2 pieces of 5 meters connected to each other with a 5A power supply, not 10A! and without an RGB Amplifier). No problems reported but I described above the conditions for a 24X7X365 operation :)
