Remark: The colour „indigo“ with index 5 is not available by design.

Important: All changes of the DIP switches are recognised only after reset or power on!

Colour Tables - „Cold- and Warm Colours“

Remark about the indices of the starting colours: The Chromoflex modules synthesise the colours by
look-up tables. These tables can be changed by the PC software „XeroFlex Editor“. So it is no problem
to i.e. remove all „cold“ colours from the colour maps (or vice versa). Or it is easy to remove unwanted
colours (keyword „corporate colours“). 

These effects use the colour tables (2 are available):

Effect 1:

Standard colour chonge (table 1)

Effect 2:

Slow (soft) colour change each 30-180 Seconds (table 1)

Effect 3:

Randomly faded colours „Blob“ (table 1)

Effect 4:

User colour change (default is red-green-blue,  table 2)

Effect 5: 

Randomly changed colours „LSD“ (table 1)

Effect 8:

Randomly coloured flashes („Burst“) (tabele 1)

Infrared-Remote-Control - Installation

For controlling one ore more modules (connected as a network) also the infrared control can be used.
Only  one single  module  within  a network  should  be equipped  with  a  infrared receiver.  The  receiving
module will forward any received commands to the network.

Important: If more than one  infrared receiver is used, communication problems may occur. It  is only
acceptable  to  use  more  than  one  receiver,  if  the  receivers  are  totally  independent  (i.e.  If  located  in
different rooms).

Important:  In  some  rare  cases  it  is  possible,  that  other  devices  (TV,  Video,  ...)  might  react  to  the
Chromoflex infrared control (or vice versa). In such cases please separate the optical paths.

Chromoflex module with (plugged)  receiver             Module with extended cable (abt. 20 cm)

If required the cable to for the infrared receiver can be extended up to 20-100 cm. For lengths longer
than  20  cm  a  shielded  cable  is  recommended.  The  shield  can  be  connected  to  the  free  pin  of  the
receiver’s socket. If touching electronic parts, please regard the common known handling instructions
for electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD). Please discharge yourself.
