11.3 Analog Interface Specifications
The TRINITY PC ANALOG is compatible with commercial dimming panels
and wall box dimmer products meeting IEC 60929 requirements.
The TRINITY PC ANALOG has been tested with the following 0-10 Vdc
Analog wall box dimmer products:
· HUNT PS LED series
· LEVITON DECORA IP710_DL
Additional Analog 0-10 Vdc dimmer products may also be compatible with
the TRINITY PC ANALOG. Consult LumaStream for compatibility
11.4 Analog Interface Cabling and Connections
In the end use application, proper separation between the class 2 control
wiring from the analog 0-10 Vdc interface and AC mains must be
observed in accordance with the applicable safety standards and/or
NEC/CEC requirements.
The total run length of the 0-10Vdc control wiring (purple and grey) #18
AWG should not exceed 500 feet (150 meters). In situations where the
control wiring is greater than 500 feet or electrical noise is present,
shielded twisted pair cabling should be used.

8.0 OUTPUT CHANNEL REQUIREMENTS
8.1 Electrical Output Specifications:
Output specifications are defined in table 2 on page 4 of this manual.
Actual output currents and maximum voltages are dependant on the
model configuration, see table 6, 8 or table 10 at the beginning of this
manual for configuration options.
8.2 Output Wiring Requirements
WARNING: All output channels are isolated from each other and
require a separate 2 wire twisted pair for each output LED load.
When connecting LED loads to output cables observe ‘+’ and ‘-‘ po-
larity connections to prevent damage to loads. To reduce risk of fire or
electric shock, do not interconnect output terminations.
A common anode or cathode wiring method for multiple LED
loads cannot be used for the TRINITY PC.
All output wires should be connected to their respective LED loads
before power up to prevent inadvertent shorting of outputs. Shorting of
outputs (+ve to –ve only) will result in a hiccup mode of operation with
automatic recovery after removal of a short.
Output Class 2 circuit wiring must comply with NEC Article 725 wir-
ing methods or to CEC section 16-210 wiring methods.
Output cabling should be overall shielded cables with twisted pair
conductors (18 AWG ) to minimize cross talk between channels and minimize Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).
Consult your local Electrical Safety Authority for acceptability in
your end use application.
With appropriate cabling, the TRINITY PC may be remote mounted
up to 150 feet (45 meters) from the LED loads.
7.0 INPUT REQUIREMENTS
7.1 Electrical Input Specifications:
Input specifications are defined in table 1 on page 4 of this
CAUTION
RISK OF DAMAGE:
DO NOT connect input of power unit to a phase cut dimmer or dim-
ming panel. It will cause internal damage to the power unit
Document: 66APPMAN-PC Rev: C 12 of 28
8.3 Output Voltage Dynamic Range
The Trinity PC has a dynamic voltage range options of 6 Vdc to 27 Vdc or
12 Vdc to 47 Vdc depending on configuration as referenced in table 6 at the
beginning of this manual. This allows the Trinity PC to accommodate a
range in both number of LEDs utilized in a string as well as a variation in
forward voltage drops. To determine the maximum voltage requirement for
any LED array configuration, the maximum voltage drops of the LEDs and
output cable/conductor voltage drops (when remote mounting the LED
load from the TRINITY PC) must be taken into consideration.
8.4 Number of LED’s Per-Channel Calculation Example.
How may 700mA LED’s can I hook up to a Trinity PC model 66-12-0700-
DMX-PC? The fixture needs to be mounted 150’ away from the driver.
First thing we need to know is the voltage drop of the LED. From the LED
datasheet we find that the maximum voltage drop of 1 LED is 3.5V(V
LED
).
From Table 6 at the beginning of this manual the 66-12-0700-DMX-PC, the
maximum output voltage per channel is 27V(V
MAX
). Dividing the LED voltage
into the maximum available voltage gives us:
So a maximum of 7 of these LED’s can be driven off of one channel.
Now the voltage drop of the cable has to be taken into account. To do that
we need to know how much headroom (V
HEADROOM
) we have with the num-
ber of LED’s and the maximum rating of the unit.
We have 2.5V of headroom with 7 of these LED connected. Now we need to
determine the voltage drop of the wiring. Using an online wire resistance
calculator we enter a length of 150ft and a current (Amps) of 0.7 (700mA),
giving us a voltage drop of 0.98V over a 18 AWG wire. We must multiply
this by 2 as there are 2 wires running to the LED (one positive wire, one
negative wire). So for a 18AWG cable at 150 feet, the total voltage drop is
1.96V. This is under our headroom limit, so 7 of these LED`s can be used per
channel with 18AWG wire.
This model Trinity PC has 12 channels (from table 6) so a total of 84 of these
LED`s can be driven by this Trinity PC.

The 3 position rotary switches sets the DMX address of the TRINITY
PC.
IMPORTANT: Each channel within the TRINITY PC requires a DMX
address. The rotary switch address identifies the Base Address
(BA), which is output channel ‘1’. Output channel 2 will be the next
address (BA+1) and so on up to output channel 12 (BA + 11).
The TRINITY PC will automatically detect a change in address in less
than 2 seconds. No recycling of the AC input is required to implement a change in address location.
In the case of daisy chained TRINITY PC modules, only the last mod-
ule in the chain is terminated by means of a 120 ohm +5%/-10% impedance inserted into the DMX connector.

10.4 DMX Cabling
The DMX cable should meet EIA485 requirements. The characteristics
for this cable include low capacitance, twisted pair, shielded, and designed for high speed data.
Twisted pair Ethernet cabling referred to as Category 5 cable may be
a cabling option upon successful evaluation in the end use application.
In the end use application, proper separation between control wiring
from the DMX interface and AC mains must be observed in accordance with the applicable safety standards and/or NEC/CEC requirements.
The maximum permissible cable length between DMX Controller
(transmitter) and last TRINITY PC is 1000 feet (300 meters). A DMX
splitter (preferably isolated) may be required to extend the cable
length.

10.2 DMX LED Status Indicator
Power Indicator-Green LED will turn off if no power is detected.
DMX Active– Yellow LED will flash at a constant rate if active DMX
packets are received for DMX address set to 1-512.
DMX Inactive– Yellow LED will flash and then pause off at continu-
ous rate if no DMX packet received
DMX Address Change after power up – Yellow LED will remain on
(no flashing) if address has changed by rotary switch after unit powered up. Yellow LED will resume flashing at constant rate within 2
seconds after new address confirmed.
DMX Address set to 513-542– Yellow LED remains on with no flash-
ing for built in test routines
