In-line Single Colour LED Tape Controller

Introduction

In-line low voltage single colour LED tape controller with 3 button control for dimming and internal sequence programs. Convenient DC jack input and output connections in a compact and easy-to-use format.

Warning

This controller is intended for professional installation of single colour LED tape and should be connected by qualified personnel in accordance with electrical safety standards. Ensure that the rated load indicated is not exceeded.

Note: Do not connect output + and – together as short circuit can damage the controller.

Installation

The ISDC1 controller can be employed to control single colour LED tape operating from a

5-24Vdc power supply. For constant full power output, it is advised to limit this to 6A load.

(short-term current can peak momentarily to 12A)

For Fluxia single colour LED tape (156.705-156.768UK), it is recommended to connect no more than 3 x 5m tapes radially from the same controller. When connecting more than one 5m tape in this way, it will be necessary to remove the DC connectors and strip the wires for connection using terminal strips. It is also advised to use bypass wiring instead of connecting end-to-end to avoid noticeable voltage drop at the furthest end from the power supply.

Controls

• To switch LEDs on or off, press and hold Speed/Dim/On button for 2 seconds.
• Mode button steps through the 8 preset programmes in sequence (shown below).
• Pressing the Speed/Dim/On button in a pattern cycles through various speed settings (10 in total).
• Pressing the Static/Light button switches mode from pattern to static – repeated presses increase brightness.
• Pressing Speed/Dim/On in static mode dims the LEDs.

ISA2

For continuous extended runs, it is advised to use the ISA2 single colour amplifier/repeater to provide power and control to the further lengths of LED tape.
