General Description

The SC802 is an Eight channel DC voltage only controller (Cross-Fader/Lighting
animation) capable of producing slow level changes( Color Mixing ) as well as Quick ON/
OFF ( Animation)

A functional block diagram of the SC802 is shown in Figure 1. SC802 contains the
equivalent of 2 sets of four solid-state relays (SSR) 8 dimmers, with two power line
feed. Each dimmer is rated at a maximum output current of 2.5 Amperes. The SSR
dimmers are controlled by low-voltage DC signals from the logic circuit on the board.
These signals are electrically-isolated by Optical couplers from all line voltage
elements. The SC802 logic board contains a microprocessor programmed to generate
16 user-selectable light sequences or patterns at an adjustable rate (the SC802 is also
available with a “SPELLER” pattern or custom patterns upon request). A rotary selector
is used to select the pattern and a second one is used to set the rate or speed. Patterns
and speed can be monitored by Eight LED's that represent the outputs of the SC802.
The SC802-12DC accepts two inputs from two 12 VDC power supplies 10Amps each.
The SC802-24DC accepts two inputs from two 24 VDC power supplies 10Amps each.

Controls

The controls consist of two rotary 16-position (0-9 and A-F) selectors. S2 (PATTERN)
is used for selecting the desired Fade pattern. Positions 0 will scroll threw the patterns
automatically to provide an ever changing light show. The SC802 outputs can be
turned to static ON by selecting F. When 0 is selected, the SC802 goes into an
automatic pattern change mode. All other positions cause the SC802 to play a single
pattern indefinitely. S1 is used to select one of 16 individual Fade rates (Rate).
Minimum speed is achieved by selecting position 0. Speed doubles with each
subsequent selector position.

Indicators

LED indicators 1 to 4 indicate the status (On-Dimmed-Off) of their corresponding
