LC-Modules Next Generation English
13. LC-NG-13 "Chaser lights"
13.1. Mode of operation
Complex running lights are generated at the 14 outputs of the LC-NG-
13, such as those used for advertising purposes, by the entertainment
industry or at fairs. Of the eight variants, one, several or all can be
activated. The activated variants are repeated in an endless loop.
If more than one variant is activated, each variant is repeated at least
twice before the next variant starts. The number of repetitions is
random and ranges from 2 to a maximum of 12 to 17 repetitions
(depending on the length of the sequence of the respective variant).
The order is basically: variant 8, 7, 6, .... 1, whereby only the activated
variants run.
The speed of the sequence can be adjusted at the trim potentiometer.
In principle, both LEDs and small lamps can be connected to the
outputs. In order to achieve prototypical lighting effects, a larger
number of lamps is usually connected to one output, which are
distributed over panels, screens or walls. Because of their high power
consumption, lamps are therefore only suitable to a limited extent.
Use of the switching input
The switching input is used exclusively during configuration (→ section
"Configuration").
Settings on the trim potentiometer
Use the trimmer to set the speed of the sequence. The sequence is
faster in the counterclockwise direction* and slower in the clockwise
direction.
* Note: If the trim potentiometer is set to the left stop, the module goes into test mode when it
is switched on. Therefore, to set the fastest possible sequence, you must turn the
potentiometer a little to the right after setting it to the left stop.
