OPTOTRONIC OT RGB LED Control Modules

OT RGB control modules are compact pulse width modulated (PWM) controllers used for creating colored lightingsolutions with LEDs.

The OT RGB 3CH DIM allows color mixing by independently controlling three dimmable output channels. The OT RGB 3CH DIM is required for large applications where there is synchronization of the color scenes.

The OT RGB SEQUENCER generates a preset dynamic sequence of colors, allowing the user to control the speedof the sequence.

Both modules are controlled by 0…10 Vdc control inputs or a 100Kohm Potentiometer.

InstallationSAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

WARNING: ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL SHOULD PERFORM INSTALLATION.

TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR COMPONENT DAMAGE, DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION OF THE POWER SUPPLIES AND/OR MODULES.

Failure to install the power supplies and/or LED modules in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC), all applicableFederal, State and local electric codes as well as the specific Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) safety standards for the installation,location and application may cause serious personal injury, death, property damage and/or product malfunction.

These instructions are guidelines for installation of OSRAM LED modules and power supplies. Installation requirements may vary depending on the application. Licensed electricians should provide all installation services for connection of both primary and secondary (input/output) of the power supplies.

MOUNTING SURFACE

LINEARlight Colormix MODULES can be mounted to any non-metallic or metallic surface or raceway provided the sur-face is smooth, clean, dry and has sufficient structural integrity to support the LED module and or power supply.When mounting the module on a metallic or otherwise conductive surface, care should be taken to provide electricalisolation between the module and the mounting surface at all solder points and sub unit breaks.

The module should be installed on a metallic surface when operated in environments with large variations in tempera-ture (e.g. outdoor applications). Otherwise, the use of a foam adhesive tape (3M™ VHB™ tape) can be used toabsorb the stress of any mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients.

PRODUCT LAYOUT

LINEARlight Flex

Determine the maximum straight run length where the Colormix module is to be installed. Use of architectural draw-ings and/or a field measurement of the location will be required.

Wherever possible, use a complete reel (13.1 ft.). This will result in fewer solder connections. If necessary, the modulecan be field cut at designated points to fit within the required area.

To complete a section larger then a reel (13.1 ft.), use additional coupons. An entire reel can be cut into smallercoupons of (7.9 in.) in length. Any additional coupons should be connected directly to the power supply and notthrough another module.

To facilitate the installation, mount the module and solder wires prior to final installation.

OPTOTRONIC power supplies have a class 2 DC output. For reliability and performance, refer to the following chartso as not to exceed the limitations of the power supply or the LED module.


Determine the maximum straight run length where the Colormix module is to be installed. Use of architectural draw-ings and/or a field measurement of the location will be required.

WIRING

AC Power Voltage Wiring

Secure the power supply inside the electrical enclosure. Connect AC supply leads to the power supply input in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.

Low Voltage Wiring


Prepare the input connection to the LED Colormix Rigid module by attaching a Colormix 4-pin Feeder Connector. The 4–pin feeder connector is used to connect the Colormix module to the OPTOTRONIC OT RGB 3CH DIM controlmodule or the OT RGB Sequencer.

All components of the LINEARlight Connector systems must be assembled to avoid any stress on the wires and/orboard connectors. The installer must ensure that there is adequate strain relief between the board connection andthe wiring.

The RGB 3CH DIM controller and the sequencer has (4) designated screw terminal outputs for connection to the LEDcolormix module. Connect the (4) wires from 4-pin feeder connection to the controller. Verify the correct color connec-tion and polarity between the LED module and the controller.

• Red to Red

• Blue to Blue

• Green To Green

• Positive to Positive

To make any necessary splices between the LED Colormix module and the RGB controller, strip the wires and usewire nuts or other appropriate wire connectors. All connections should be in compliance with Class 2 low voltage connection standards.

Note: The screw terminals of the Colormix sequencer and the RGB controller are designed for a single conductor. An external connector or bus should be used for applications involving multiple conductors.

Moisture & Dust

For applications involving exposure to humidity, moisture or dust, the module must be protected by a housing with asuitable cover. The module can also be protected against humidity, moisture and dust by treatment with an appropri-ate circuit board grade conformal coating. The APL grade conformal coating from Electrolube, Inc.(www.electrolube.com) has been tested to meet the requirements of LINEARlight products.

Temperature

Care should be taken to ensure the product is installed in an application that does not exceed the maximum operatingtemperature of the module or power supply.

The maximum operating temperature range of the Colormix module (-30°C (-22°F) to 85°C (167°F)) can be measuredat the designated Tc-point on the module.

To achieve the maximum service life, the temperature measured at the Tc-point should not exceed 40°C.

The maximum case temperature of the power supply (OT6:70°C (158°F), OT20:75°C (167°F) and OT75:90°C (194°F))can be measured at the designated Tc-point on the power supply.

ESD (Electro Static Discharge)

ESD can cause failure of the LED module.

Care should be taken to prevent the module from being subjected to static electricity during assembly or installation ofthe module.

One or more colors fails to illuminate:

• Verify continuity at all solder connections, wire connectors, and screw terminal connections.

• Verify the correct use of power supply for the intended wattage of the application. Only an OPTOTRONIC 24V power supply can be used with Colormix modules.

• For remote mounting applications, verify the wire length and gauge of wire meets the requirements of the application.

• All exposed conductors and breaks in the module should be insulated.

Section of LED fails to illuminate

• Coupon may be defective or damaged. Remove and replace the damaged coupon.

Sequencer does not sequence color:

• Verify the correct use of the dimming control.

Below 1.3V the output is off

Above 9.8V the sequence retains its current color

Between 1.3V and 9.8V the sequencer speed changes from 5 seconds to 10 minutes.

RGB modules and the sequencer require a 0-10Vdc controller or a 100k potentiometer.

Theory of Color

When the three primary colors (red, green and blue) of light are mixed, the intensities of the colored light isbeing added. The mixing of colored light is called additive color mixing.

White light is perceived where all three additive primaries overlap. Since the white mixture results from theadding of three color light sources, the white light appears to be the brightest of all.

By varying the intensities of the individual light sources, a full range of colors can be obtained. Combinationsof the two primary colors produce the secondary colors – magenta, cyan and yellow. By mixing colors, thecorrelated color temperature (CCT) may be adjusted to blend with the surrounding environment.

OSRAM SYLVANIA Colormix systems are ideal for architectural lighting, stage lighting, entertainment, videowalls and other applications benefiting from dynamic colored lighting.
