In-line RGB LED Tape Controller

Introduction

In-line low voltage RGB LED tape controller with 3 button control for static colours and internal sequence programs. Convenient DC jack power connection with 4-pin RGB output in a compact and easy-to-use format.

Warning

These products are intended for professional installation of RGB LED tape and should be connected by qualified personnel in accordance with electrical safety standards. Ensure that the rated load indicated is not exceeded.

Installation

The IMDC1 controller can be employed to control Fluxia RGB LED tape operating from a 5-24Vdc power supply. Maximum short term current load is rated at 3 x 4A. For constant full power output, it is advised to limit this to 3 x 2A load.

There are 2 versions of Fluxia RGB LED tape - 153.720UK has 60 LEDs per metre and 153.721UK has 30 LEDs per metre. It is recommended that each controller is connected to no more than 300 RGB LEDs (i.e 1 x 5m roll of 153.720UK or 2 x rolls of 153.721UK connected in parallel).

For longer runs, each subsequent roll should be linked on using the ILADC4 amplifier. The ILADC4 also accepts 5-24Vdc and connects from the end of a controlled length of RGB LED tape to the beginning of the next length of RGB LED tape to match the patterns/colours of the first tape. (also 3 x 4A peak, 3 x 2A continuous output)

Connection is via a 4-pin coupler, as supplied with Fluxia RGB LED tape. Ensure that the red triangle is connected to “+” or “Common” on the LED tape.

Controls

1. To switch LEDs on or off, press and hold Speed/Dim/On button for 2 seconds.
2. Mode/Demo button steps through the 8 preset programs in sequence (shown below).
3. Pressing Speed/Dim/Colour cycles through 10 different speed levels.
4. Holding the Mode/Demo button for 2 seconds enters a demo mode,cycling through all presets.
5. Press the Colour button to enter static colour mode.
6. Pressing Colour again changes to one of 20 colours.
7. Pressing Speed/Dim/On in static colour mode dims the LEDs through 5 levels of brightness.
