Fire risk
Touching flammable material with a hot soldering iron can cause fire,
which can result in injury or death through burns or suffocation.
Connect your soldering iron or soldering station only when actually
needed. Always keep the soldering iron away from inflammable
materials. Use a suitable soldering iron stand. Never leave a hot
soldering iron or station unattended.
Thermal danger
A hot soldering iron or liquid solder accidentally touching your skin can
cause skin burns. As a precaution:
§ use a heat-resistant mat during soldering,
§ always put the hot soldering iron in the soldering iron stand,
§ point the soldering iron tip carefully when soldering, and
§ remove liquid solder with a thick wet rag or wet sponge from the
soldering tip.
Dangerous environments
A working area that is too small or cramped is unsuitable and can cause
accidents, fires and injury. Prevent this by working in a clean, dry room
with enough freedom of movement.

Operation overview
The heart of the Light Computer is a micro controller (IC). A preset
program burnt into the IC repeats constantly, supplying the five outputs
with power at different times. Depending on the program, different light
patterns are generated through the interaction between the outputs.
The select input of the IC is also used. The function differs between the
various program versions of the Light-Computer.
LC-1 "Advertising light 1": 5 light bulbs go on one after the other,
flash together three times and then go off. If the input JP2 is switched to
earth, the light sequence switches off after the completion of the
program. If the contact remains open, the program repeats continuously.
LC-2 "Advertising light 2": 5 bulbs light up one after the other
(running light sequences), then go on together and stay on for approx.
3 seconds. If the input JP2 is switched to earth, the light sequence
switches off after the completion of the program. If the contact remains
open, the program repeats continuously.
LC-3 "Advertising light 3": 5 light bulbs flash in different patterns,
apparently random, then go on one after the other and stay on
together for approx. 3 seconds. If the input JP2 is switched to earth,
the light sequence switches off after the completion of the program. If
the contact remains open, the program repeats continuously.
LC-4 "Building site flasher": 5 light bulbs generate a running light
sequence followed by a short pause. This effect is especially effective if
used as an "alley" on both sides of a road. If the input JP2 is switched
to earth, the light sequence switches off after the completion of the
program. If the contact remains open, the program repeats
continuously.
LC-5 "Flickering flame": 5 light bulbs together generate an irregular
light pattern. If red and yellow bulbs are connected, the appearance of
a flickering flame results. If the input JP2 is switched to earth, the light
Page 30
LC English
sequence switches off after the completion of the program. If the
contact remains open, the program repeats continuously.
LC-6 "Welding light": Each of the 5 light bulb outputs can control a
blue welding light bulb. The light impulses are realistically short and
strong. As each of the 5 bulbs generates a pattern of its own, it is
possible to "weld" at several different workplaces at the same time (for
example in a "shipyard"). There are pauses in the welding process of
one or more minutes at irregular intervals. If the input JP2 is switched
to earth, the light sequence switches off after the completion of the
program. If the contact remains open, the program repeats
continuously.
LC-7 "Traffic light control": Traffic light control for a complete
intersection. Outputs 1 and 2 are red and green for direction A, outputs
4 and 5 are red and green for direction B. Output 3 is the amber for
both but like the real thing, it overlaps with red when changing to
green. If the input JP2 is switched to earth, the traffic lights switch to
flashing amber. If the contact remains open, the traffic lights operate
continuously.
LC-8 "Advertising light 4": Fusion of the advertising lights 1 to 3,
coming on one after the other. If the input JP2 is switched to earth, the
light sequence switches off after the completion of the active part of
the program. If the contact remains opens, the program is repeated
constantly.
LC-9 "Ignition module for gas lamps": If the input JP2 is given a
short electric pulse (earth), the gas lamps start to flicker and grow
brighter gradually. Every ignition process is slightly different. After
approx. 5 seconds the gas lamps reach their maximum brightness.
During operation, the lamps flicker now and then at different times
(variations of gas pressure). After the switch-off impulse, (when the
input JP2 is given a short electric pulse) all lamps shine on with
moderate brightness and go off completely in approx. 1.5 seconds.
Page 31
English LC
LC-10 "Fluorescent Tube Simulator: If the input JP2 is given a
short electric pulse (earth), the different fluorescent tubes flicker for a
moment before all of them light one after the other - just like the real
thing. The turning on pattern is a little different for each. When the
input is switched to earth permanently, a defective tube is simulated on
output 5. This tube flickers at irregular intervals, at times brightening
quickly, at times slowly.
LC-11 "Occupied house": Two different programs are available.
Program 1, "Home", starts if the input JP2 is switched to earth,
Program 2, "Office", if the contact remains opens. The programs take
approximately 15 minutes and are repeated after a short pause.
Program 1: First the light in the kitchen (output 1) goes on for a while,
followed a bit later by the living room (output 2). Output 3 is assigned for
connecting a blue light bulb (the TV set), which flickers like a television
picture. Some time later the light in the kitchen switches off, and goes on
again once during the program flow. The light in the bathroom (output 4)
goes on for a short time at irregular intervals. By the end of the program
the lights in the bedroom (output 5) and in the bathroom go on for some
time, the bulbs connected to outputs 2 and 3 switch off.
Program 2: In the entrance-hall (output 1) the light goes on for a short
time at irregular intervals. The offices (or the flats in a multiple family
dwelling) are connected to the outputs 2 to 5. The lights in the offices
go on one after the other, but only after the light in the entrance hall
has previously been switched on. By the end of the program the lights
in the offices switch off one after the other and each time the light in
the entrance hall goes on for a short time.
LC-12 "Fairground Attraction Illumination": Each of the 5 outputs
can control several connected light bulbs, which form different patterns:
they flash in changing sequences, form running lights, flicker irregularly
etc. The input JP2 has no function in this version.
Page 32
LC English
LC-13 "Candlelight simulator": After switching on the module the
"candles" start to flicker - just like the real thing. At irregular intervals
they brigthen and dim. The input JP2 has no function in this version.
LC-14 "Signal tower box light": The 5 outputs switch at random the
connected bulbs or LEDs. These light for a while and simulate the
activities in a signal tower box. The input JP2 has no function in this
version.
LC-15 "Emergency vehicle light": The bulbs / LEDs connected to
the 5 outputs make 2 short flashes and then go off for a short time.
The breaks between the double flashes are of varing duration for the
five outputs. This way the characteristic light pattern for modern
emergency vehicles is created. The input JP2 has no function in this
version.
LC-16 "Dim Switch for street lamps": The input JP2 is switched on
and off automatically via a light sensitive switch. The sensitivity of the
light is set via a trimpot.
Four outputs are designed for the connection of street lamps. The
street lamps are getting brighter gradually after being switched on and
obtain their maximum brightness after about one minute. Additional
accessories (e.g. house lightings) which are intended to be switched
depending on the ambient lighting can be connected to the fifth output
via a relay.
The circuit responds to changes of the ambient lighting with a delay of
some seconds. While the street lamps are getting brighter after being
switched on and some seconds after being switched off, the circuit does
not respond to changes of the ambient lighting.
Page 33
English LC
LC-17 "Speed Trap": The output 5 controls the Speed Trap, which
flashes at irregular intervals (from approx. 3 to 25 seconds). The outputs
1 to 4 are assigned for connecting the flash lights of police cars. The
outputs 1 and 2 produce an asynchronous flashing light (for older police
cars), the outputs 3 and 4 an asynchronous double flashing light (for
modern police cars). The input JP2 has no function in this version.
Tip: The effect of the light patterns is most realistic when small bulbs
are connected to the outputs 1 and 2, LEDs to the outputs 3 and 4 and
a white LED with high luminosity to the output 5.
LC-18 "Vehicle lighting": Via the switching input JP2 you can set
the following programs: "moving vehicle" (with the input open) or
"standing vehicle" (with the input switched to earth).
Assignment of the outputs:
1: Back lights
2: Front lights
3: Interior light (standing vehicle) or horn (moving vehicle)
4: Flashing lights on the right
5: Flashing lights on the left
In the program "moving vehicle": The front and back lights are always
switched on. It is possible to connect a loudspeaker as a horn (not
included) to output 3, the volume can be reduced by connecting a series
resistor (approx. 10 Ω to 1 kΩ). The flashing lights on the left and the
right, the horn and the stop lights are switched on and off at random.
After the stop lights having been lighted the flasher is switched on,
afterwards the stop lights and a little bit later the flasher are switched off.
In the program "standing vehicle": The front and back lights are
switched on most of the time. Now and again the flashing lights on the
left and the right, the warning flasher and the interior light are switched
on. After the interior light having been lighted the front and back lights
and then the interior light are switched off. Afterwards all lights are
switched off for a period.

LC English
LC-19 "Paparazzi-flash": The photgrapher´s flash lights are
connected to the five outputs of the module. They flash at random
independently from each other. At irregular intervals flashlight
thunderstorms break when all flashlights are used nearly simultaneously
and several times close together. Using white LEDs creates a very
realistic effect. The input JP2 has no function in this version.
LC-20 "Roadworks vehicle": The module´s five outputs control the
lighting of a complete roadworks vehicle including a trailer. Assignment
of the outputs:
1: Lane indication arrow of the trailer
(gets slowly brighter and then darker)
2: Flash lights of the trailer
3 and 4: Double flash light of the service vehicle
5: Warning flasher of the service vehicle
The input JP2 has no function in this version.
LC-21 "Funfair flow effect lighting 1": The 5 outputs generate a
light flow sequence. After the first run through the output 5 stays on, after
the second run through the output 4, and so on, so that after 5 cycles all
connected lamps or LEDS are switched on. With the cycles 6 to 10 the
outputs are switched off in reverse order. If the input JP2 is switched to
earth, the light sequence switches off after the completion of the active part
of the program. If the contact remains opens, the program is repeated
constantly.
LC-22 "Funfair flow effect lighting 2": The five outputs generate a
light flow sequence. After being switched off, the outputs continue to glow
for a short time. In the first cycle one output stays on and one continues to
glow, in the second run through two outputs stay on and two continue to
glow and finally, in the third cycle three outputs stay on and two continue to
glow. If the input JP2 is switched to earth, the light sequence switches off
after the completion of the active part of the program. If the contact
remains opens, the program is repeated constantly.
Page 35
English LC
LC-23 "Funfair flow effect lighting 3": The five outputs generate a
running light sequence, which changes the running direction at random.
If the input JP2 is switched to earth, the light sequence switches off
after the completion of the active part of the program. If the contact
remains opens, the program is repeated constantly.

Checking the package contents
Check the contents of the package for completeness immediately after
unpacking:
§ one kit, containing the components listed in the parts list (see
page I) and one PCB or
§ one ready-built module,
§ one manual.
Required tools and consumables
Make sure you have the following tools, equipment and materials ready
for use:
§ an electronic soldering iron (max. 30 Watt) with a fine tip,
§ a soldering iron stand,
§ a tip-cleaning sponge,
§ a heat-resistant mat,
§ a small side cutter and wire stripper,
§ a pair of tweezers and long nose pliers (not necessary for the
ready-built module),
§ tin solder (0,5 mm. diameter),
§ wire (diameter: > 0,05 mm² for all connections).
Safe and correct soldering
Caution:
Incorrect soldering can cause dangers through fires and heat. Avoid
these dangers by reading and following the directions given in the
chapter Safety instructions. If you have had training in soldering you
can skip this chapter.
Page 37
English LC
§ Use a small soldering iron with max. 30 Watt. Keep the soldering tip
clean so the heat of the soldering iron is applied to the solder point
effectively.
§ Only use electronic tin solder with flux.
§ When soldering electronic circuits never use soldering-water or
soldering grease. They contain acids that can corrode components
and copper tracks.
§ Solder quickly: holding the iron on the joints longer than necessary
can destroy components and can damage copper tracks or
soldering eyes.
§ Observe correct polarity orientation of semi-conductors, LEDs
electrolytic capacitors and integrated circuits before soldering and
ensure that the solder time does not exceed 5 seconds, otherwise
components can be damaged.
§ Apply the soldering tip to the soldering spot in such a way that the part
and the soldering eye are heated at the same time. Simultaneously add
solder (not too much). As soon as the solder becomes liquid take it
away. Hold the soldering tip at the spot for a few seconds so that the
solder flows into the joint, then remove the soldering iron.
§ Do not move the component for about 5 seconds after soldering.
§ To make a good soldering joint you must use a clean and
unoxidised soldering tip. Clean the soldering tip with a damp piece
of cloth, a damp sponge or a piece of silicon cloth.
§ Cut the wires after soldering directly above the PCB solder side with
a side cutter.
§ After placing the parts, please double check for correct polarity.
Check the PCB tracks for solder bridges and short circuits created
by accident. This would cause faulty operation or, in the worst
case, damage. You can remove excess solder by putting a clean
soldering tip on the spot. The solder will become liquid again and
flow from the soldering spot to the soldering tip.

Assembling the kit
You can skip this part if you have purchased a ready-built module.
Preparation
Put the sorted components in front of you on your workbench. The
separate electronic components have the following special features you
should take into account to prevent mistakes in assembling:
Resistors
Resistors reduce current. Their mounting orientation is of no
importance. The value of resistors for smaller power ratings
(under 5 W) is indicated through colour rings. Every colour
stands for another figure. The colour ring in brackets indicates
the tolerance of the resistor which here is of no importance.
Value Colour rings
1 kΩ brown - black - red (gold)
10 kΩ brown - black - orange (gold)
Electrolytic capacitors
Electrolytic capacitors are often used to store energy. In
contrast to ceramic capacitors they are polarized. One of the
two leads is marked with a minus sign which indicates the
mounting orientation. The value is given on the casing.
Electrolytic capacitors are available with different voltage
sustaining capabilities. Using an electrolytic capacitor with a
voltage sustaining capability higher than required is always
possible.
Page 39
English LC
Diodes
Diodes allow the current to pass through in one direction only
(forward direction), simultaneously the voltage is reduced by
0,3 to 0,8 V. Exceeding of the limit voltage always will destroy
the diode, and allow current to flow in the reverse direction.
The diode type is printed on the body.
Diodes must be mounted in a given direction. The negative
end is marked with a ring. This is shown in the PCB layout.
Zener diodes
Zener diodes are used for limiting voltages. In contrast to
"normal" diodes they are not destroyed when the limit voltage
is exceeded.
Transistors
Transistors are current amplifiers which convert low signals
into stronger ones. They have three contacts. As they are
polarized, they have to be mounted in a certain direction.
BC-Types have a housing in form of a half cylinder (SOT-
housing). The cross section is shown in the PCB Layout which
determines the mounting orientation.
Integrated circuits (ICs)
Depending on the type, ICs fulfil various tasks. They are
polarized and therefore have to be mounted in a certain
direction. The most common housing form is the so-called
"DIL"-housing, from which 4, 6, 8, 14, 16, 18 or more "legs"
(pins) are arranged along the long sides. The mounting
orientation is shown by a semicircular or circular marking at
the end of the housing, which is also shown on the PCB
layout.

Micro-Controler
Micro-controller are ICs, which are individually programmed for the
particular application. When leaving the manufacturer´s works their
memory is empty. The programmed controller normally are only
available from the manufacturer of the circuit belonging to it.
Assembling the kit
Start the assembly by inserting and soldering the IC. The IC must be
mounted according to the marking on the PCB.
Caution:
Do not touch the IC without first discharging yourself by touching a
radiator or other grounded metal parts. Do not bend the "legs" of the IC.
Continue the assembly with resistors and diodes. First solder the
components on the solder side of the PCB and cut the excess wires with
the side cutter as short as possible. Then solder the transistors and
finally the capacitors.
Caution:
Electrolytic capacitors, transistors, ICs and diodes must be placed in the
right direction! If you solder them the wrong way the affected parts can be
damaged when you connect the power. In the worst case the whole circuit
can be damaged. In any case, a wrongly connected part will not function.
Performing a visual check
Perform a visual check after the assembly of the module and remove
faults if necessary:
§ Remove all loose parts, wire ends or drops of solder from the PCB.
Remove all sharp wire ends.
§ Check that solder contacts which are close to each other are not
unintentionally connected to each other. Risk of short circuit!
§ Check that all components are polarised correctly.
When you have remedied all faults, go on to the next part.

Soldering connecting cables
Solder the connection wires directly to the holes of the PCB. It is also
possible to use PCP solder pins and solder them in the holes (see
accessories). PCP solder pins are used in our ready-built modules and
you can use socket pins to make the connections. The advantage of
this is that you can connect and disconnect the circuit very quickly.
Performing a functional test
If you have purchased a ready-built module, check all functions.
Transport damage can never be excluded.
Caution:
Do not connect light bulbs or lamps yet.
Connect the light computer to the power supply voltage only for a
functional test. Check that components are not getting too hot. The
resistor R6 may get warm, but this is harmless.
Caution:
If a component gets too hot, disconnect the light computer and power
supply from the mains immediately . Possible short circuit! Check the
assembly.
After a successful function test, disconnect power from the light
computer and continue with the remaining connections.
Page 42
LC English
Connecting the Light Computer
Connection to a.c. or d.c. voltage
Connect one side of the lamps to the corresponding outputs 1-5 (LC-16:
1-4). The maximum current of 100 mA per output is normally sufficient
for the connection of 1 or 2 light bulbs. (The power of the light bulbs is
often noted on the base of the lamps.) Connect the common
connection of the lamps to JP4. (See fig. 2).
With the LC-16 the output 5 is designed for the connection of additional
accessories. Accessories with a current consumption of max. 100 mA can
be connected directly, accessories with a higher current consumption
have to be connected via a relay and a diode.
Connecting a push button or switch
You may connect a switch or a push button to those versions that use JP2
in order to switch the light computer on and off or to switch between two
programs . Connect one side to Pin JP-2 und the other to earth (see. Fig.
2). Push button and switch are not included in the package.
Connecting the dim switch (LC-16)
Connect the connecting points X2, X3 and X5 of the dimming switch to the
connecting points JP2, JP1 and JP4 of the module. Next connect the
enclosed light depending resistor to the connecting points X3 and X4 of the
dim switch. The light sensitive resistor has to be placed that way it is
exposed to the ambient lighting. In order to set the sensitivity of the dim
first set the trim pot to mid-position and change the sensitivity as far as
necessary. The circuit requires 3 or 4 seconds to react.

Connection of LEDs
Caution:
If you use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) you must always operate them
via a series resistor.
LEDs are available in many different models. There are LEDs with 2-5
mA, but also LEDs with 15-30 mA power consumption. The series
resistor limits the current flow of the LED and will need to be calculated
for each model. Ask for the max current rating when buying your LEDs.
You can connect up to 5 LEDs in parallel to each output (see Fig.3). In
this case every LED must have a series resistor of its own. If you
connect several LEDs to one output in series, only one series resistor is
needed. You can find out the number of the LEDs that can be
connected in series to one output from to the following formula:
(number of LEDs + 2) x 1,5 < supply voltage
