English LC-Modules Next Generation Servo If you want to connect a servo to the module, you need: a servo a current and voltage supply (e.g. servo board item no. 70-0590001) or an LC-NG servo set, consisting of servo, servo board and a 470 Ω resistor (item no. 53-04321-01) ni Note: Not all modules have an output for connecting a servo. k Loudspeaker ta m s a loudspeaker with an impedance of at least 8 ohms.
LC-Modules Next Generation English 2. Safety instructions Mechanical hazards Cut wires can have sharp ends and can cause serious injuries. Watch out for sharp edges when you pick up the PCB. Electrical hazards ni k Visibly damaged parts can cause unpredictable danger. Do not use damaged parts: recycle and replace them with new ones. ta m el ek Never perform wiring on a powered module. Assembling and mounting the kit should only be done in closed, clean, dry rooms. Beware of humidity.
English LC-Modules Next Generation Fire risk k 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.
LC-Modules Next Generation English 3. Safe and correct soldering ! Caution: ni ta m tro el ek Use a soldering iron with temperature control, which you set to approx. 300 °C. Only use electronic solder with a flux. Never use soldering water or soldering grease when soldering electronic circuits. These contain an acid that destroys components and conductor paths. Insert the connecting wires of the components as far as possible through the holes of the board without using force.
English soldering, wipe off excess solder and dirt with a damp sponge, a thick damp cloth or a silicone wiper. After soldering, cut off the connecting wires directly above the soldering point with a side cutter. After assembly, always check each circuit again to ensure that all components are correctly inserted and polarised. Also check that no connections or tracks have been accidentally bridged with tin. This can lead not only to malfunction, but also to the destruction of expensive components.
LC-Modules Next Generation English 4. Operation overview The LC-NG module is controlled by a micro-controller. The programme stored in the micro-controller k ni controls the 14 outputs of the module. The sequence and timing differ between the different versions. defines whether and to which outputs servos and/or loudspeakers can be connected. defines what effect the switching input and the trim potentiometer have on the programme sequence.
English LC-Modules Next Generation With several versions of the LC-NG module, further settings (e.g. speed of the sequence, length of pauses between repetitions) can be made at the trim potentiometer during operation. Test mode k If the trim potentiometer is set to the left stop, the LC-NG module switches to test mode when it is switched on. All light bulbs or LEDs at the outputs are switched on one after the other.

Connect one side to the output and the other to the return conductor. s ! Please note: The maximum current of 200 mA per output and 1,000 mA for the entire module must not be exceeded. In this case, the output or the module would be damaged.
LC-Modules Next Generation English 7.4. Connecting LEDs You can connect several LEDs in parallel or serially (in series) to one output (see following sections). Which connection variant is more suitable depends, among other things, on the installation situation. tro ni k LEDs are polarised. Connect the cathode (-) to the output and the anode (+) to the return conductor. In the wired versions, the anode (+) has the longer "leg", in the SMD versions, the cathode (-) is marked (e.g.
English LC-Modules Next Generation Parallel connection of LEDs With a parallel connection each LED has to be connected via it´s own series resistor to the output. The total current at the output results from summing up the current of each single LED. ni k The current consumption of one LED depends on the value of the series resistor. The higher the value, the lower is the current and the more LEDs can be connected to one output.
LC-Modules Next Generation English Serial connection of LEDs With a serial connection all LEDs have to be connected (in series) via one series resistor to the output. The current consumption of the LEDs depends on the value of the series resistor. The higher the value, the lower is the current. But, the LEDs are dimmer, the higher you choose the series resistor´s value.

If using a resistor with a higher value the current of the LEDs would be reduced and the LEDs would light less brightly.
LC-Modules Next Generation English Connect further "chains" of series-connected LEDs in parallel to the same output. Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum current of 200 mA. If the current of each individual "chain" is limited to 10 mA, for example, you can connect 20 chains in parallel to one output. ta m s el ek tro ni k ! Please note: You cannot load all 14 outputs with 200 mA each, because then the maximum total current of the module of 1,000 mA would be exceeded.

LC-Modules Next Generation English 7.7. Connecting subordinate circuits You can connect lower-level circuits (e.g. other LC-NG modules) to the outputs of an LC-NG module in order to switch them on and off. Please note: Connecting lower-ranking circuits does not make sense with LCNG versions whose outputs are only switched on briefly. tro el ek ta m the current of the circuit and the connected loads is higher than 200 mA or galvanic isolation is required, i.e.

English LC-Modules Next Generation The trim pot is also used during configuration to select one of the variants. The set variant is saved before exiting programming mode, so changes to the position of the trim pot do not affect the variant setting. Configuration To set one of the eight variants, proceed as described on page 38. k 13.2.
LC-Modules Next Generation English Procedure 1 All the lights are switched on one after the other until the lights at all 14 utputs are lit. Then the lights are switched off again in reverse order. 2 The lights at outputs 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 are switched on one after the other. The two groups of 2 or 3 switched-on lights continue to move, occasionally changing direction. This gives the impression that the groups are following each other.
English LC-Modules Next Generation Procedure 8 Individual lights run through. After the first light has reached the 14th connection, it remains switched on. With the second light, the 13th connection remains switched on, with the third the 12th connection and so on. After that, a light that has been switched off runs through and the last connection remains switched off, then the penultimate one, etc.
LC-Modules Next Generation English 14. LC-NG-14 "Funfair lighting" 14.1. Mode of operation ni k The 14 outputs of the LC-NG-14 produce the light sequences typical of fairground rides, merry-go-rounds or funfair booths. Five variants are available for selection. The set variant is repeated in an endless loop after switching on. The sequences are based on real-life models: tro Break Dance No. 2, Booster, Ghost Temple (in German: "GeisterTempel") and Top Spin.
