Group „Under-Water“:
Start with „Blue“ as first colour.
Group „Walls“
Start with „Green“
Group „Ceiling“
Start with „Red“.
The colours should change slowly and each colour should be hold for 2 minutes. All modules should
transit to the next colour simultaneously.
This task is easy to solve:
1.) Because each Chromoflex contains a precise „Quartz crystal oscillator“, all modules are running
quite synchronously after reset or power on, the deviation between the modules is only a few seconds
per day. Normally a pool illumination does not run continuously, hence the power-on is sufficient for
synchronisation.
2.) All modules are set to effect 2 (slow color change) with a holding time of 120 secs. Per colour.
3.) The starting colour is determined by the group:
As a result this are the settings for the DIP switches:
DIP 1
DIP 2
DIP 3
DIP 4
DIP 5
DIP 6
DIP 7
DIP 8

Software 1 - 2 - 3
1.) We offer the „Chromoflex Editor“ for free download from our Internet site. The software does
contain additional documentation, not covered by this manual.
2.) We are planning to publish drivers for all common PC programming languages, so that any
interested user is able to integrate the Chromoflex in own software.
3.) For interested professional users, we can help in implementing access to the Chromoflex from own
„embedded controls“. Our development team has large experience in all kind of embedded
developments.
Random Effects
Each Chromoflex module can generate individual random effects. Because the random coincidence is
based on a mathematical calculation, only modules with different serial numbers appear truely
different. Depending on the production lot of the modules this might require that the user once
initialises each modules with an individual serial number (else all modules run the same „random
sequence“). Generating an individual serial number is described in the manual for the PC-software
„Chromoflex Editor“.
