Connection

Connect this module according to the connection diagram:

Connect a 12V DC power supply to the – 12 + connections. Respect the polarity! When polarity is reversed, the fuse will
blow.

Up to 10 loads can be connected to the outputs. These can be small lamps, relays or cold-cathode fluorescent lamps. The
current in each separate channel cannot surpass 400mA. Respect the polarity!

When a correct power supply is connected, LED LD1 will light up. All 10 red LEDs will already display a light effect .

 Be careful when connecting the cold cathode fluorescent lamps: the ‘FLPS1’ power supply module generates a

life-threatening voltage over the lamp connectors, which may cause electroshocks.

Settings:

Before switching on the module, set the jumper to indicate how many lamps are connected.
For example : to make a 4-channel running light, set the jumper to ‘4 CH’.
If the module is powered on without the jumper, the 10 channels will flash simultaneously ; this way the module can be used

as a 10-channel flashing light with adjustable speed.

Light effects

LIGHT EFFECTS

Choosing light effects :

The SW1 ‘Effect select’ pushbutton switch allows you to choose between ten programs. Keep SW1 pressed to see the se­lected effect – the LED corresponding to that effect will light up. The effect starts when you release SW1. Press SW1 briefly
to select the next effect.
SW2 allows you to (de)activate all channels at once. Press SW1 to restart the selected light effect.
The speed of the light effect can be adjusted with RV1.
The last selected effect is saved in the internal memory in case of a power failure.

Select a random light effect:

Keep SW2 pressed during power-up (the other light effects will not work!).
HINTS:

• In case of an overload or a short circuit on one of the outputs, the control transistor of that channel (T1...T10) will be

damaged. Replace it by a transistor of the same type (BC640).

• Velleman cannot be held responsible and all warranty becomes void in case of user modifications to the module.

• A blown fuse always has to be replaced by a fuse of the same type (4A – FAST) to avoid fire hazard.
