Technical Data

Operating Voltage: 7 - 24 Volt (+ 5%), stabilised. 

Important: The used power supply must be able to bear pulsed loads. Unstabilised or to weak power
supplies can cause unwanted flickering effects, especially during colour changes!

Module current (without LED lamps): ca. 20 mA

Operating temperature: 0°C  -  max.  +50°C  (recommended:  <=  30°C)  (Use  only  in  dry  places  with
sufficient air ventilation)

Modulation  system:  The  Chromoflex  modules  are  based  on  a  digital  System,  named
„Vector-Fractal-Modulation“  or  „VFM“.  This  modulation  system  was  optimised  for  minimising  load  on
power  supplies  and  has  considerable  advantages  compared  to  traditional  systems.  The  modulation
frequency is in the range from 120 Hz  up to (max.) 240 Hz. Patent pending.

Maximum cable inductance  can be calculated as L_max = 40µH/(maximum current). Note: Standard
control cable normally has an inductance of around  0.4-0.8 µH/Mtr.

Model  „I350“

Pulsed constant current abt. 350 mA (+ 5%, -20%) per channel ( 3 channels).

Model „Stripe“

Pulsed constant voltage, maximum current 2.5 Ampere per channel (3 channels) at 12 Volts, and 1.25
Ampere per channel at 24 Volts.
