In  the  examples  above  3  modules  build  a  network.  Please  note:  the  module  interconnection  are  2
lines: GND ond RS232-RX.

Factory preprogrammed Effects

Each module is shipped with 8 factory preprogrammed effects:

Effect 1:

Standard colour change, colour change each 5-60 seconds (depending on the
internal DIP switches). Colour transition time: 2.5 seconds

Effect 2:

Slow (very soft) colour change each 30-180 seconds (depending on the
internal DIP switches). Colour transition time: 10 seconds

Effect 3:

Randomly faded colours „Blob“

Effect 4:

User defined-colour change (can be changed by the „Chromoflex 
Editor“ software for PC, default is red-green-blue)

Effect 5: 

Randomly changed colours „LSD“

Effect 6: 

Simulation of a fire „Fire“

Effect 7: 

Simulation of a thunderstorm with lightnings („Flash“)

Effect 8:

Randomly coloured flashes („Burst“)

If you would like to edit a own colour change, this can be done very easily with our free software of PC
„Chromoflex Editor“. This software can be downloaded for free from our Internet site (see end of this
manual).

Note: The Chromoflex-Modules are based on a programmable microprocessor, that is also capable of
performing  other  complex  tasks.  We  will  be  happy  to  realise  your  ideas  for  professional  products.
Don’t hesitate to send us on email.

The 8 effects can be selected by the 4 buttons. Each button selects two effects:
