eLum RGB Controller
This controller is designed to receive DMX512 protocol and to drive a number of Advanced
Lighting’s LED strips. They use 24VDC power and three 0.5 - 5V analog control signals to
vary the intensity of the red, green, and blue LED’s. The controller’s DMX input is fully opto-
isolated and is bi-directional thus allowing the implementation of ESTA’s RDM protocol. RDM is
implemented to allow remote setting of the interface’s DMX address and to gain access to the
built-in effects package. The eLum RGB Controller has four outputs to eLum LED strips. Each
output is capable of powering a combined total of 50 feet of eLum LED strips, power cable, and
jumper cables. The maximum amount of eLum Cove RGB that can be powered by each output
junction is 10.3 feet (8-16” RGB Strips). Below a typical eLum RGB system controlled by a
eLum RGB Controller.
J1 is the power input. This connector mates with the existing 24 volt power supply.
•
J5, J6, J7, and J8 are the outputs to the LED strips. These mate with existing cables and
•
LED strips. Each output connector can have 8 LED strips and 50 feet of cable (the original
design goal). Each output is protected by a 5A self-resetting poly-fuse.
J3 and TB1 are wired in parallel. They are used for DMX/RDM input. Only one of these
•
should be used at a time. J3 allows for a plug-in signal connection while TB1 is easy for
contractors to make field terminations.
J4 and TB2 are wired in parallel. They are used for DMX/RDM output or “thru” connections
•
to other controllers. Only one of these should be used at a time. J4allows for a plug-in signal
connection while TB2 is easy for contractors to make field terminations. These connections
are only active if the termination switch is off (see details of the termination switch below).
