.If this function is on,ArcPower 72/K2 makes  auto-calibration (All LEDs light on 100% for 

short time) after switching it on.If this function is set off,you have to set  manually  every colour  on max.bright

-

ness after switching on the driver before starting regular operating.This action should last min. one second.In 

this moment, the ArcPower 72/K2 finds out the load connected to its LED output and makes auto-calibration.

 Current limiting

.The menu item allows to set right current-carrying capacity of each LED branch 

(colour) in order to keep declared lifetime of LED modules: 

 

Red,amber LEDs..............40 mA

 

Green,blue,white LEDs....700mA

The LED modules use 3 internal branches for LED supply for both three-colour (e.g. RGB,AGB) and single- 

colour variants (R,A,G,B,W).

It means that in case of a single colour variant of LED module right values of the 

current limiting have to be set at "

rE1

","

Gr1

" and "

bL1

"("

rE2

","

Gr2

","

bL2

") items as well.

Four-colour variants of LED modules (e.g. RGBW,AGBW) use 4 internal branches for LED supply  and all  items  

"

rE1

","

Gr1

", "

bL1

" and "

Wh1

" (

rE2

","

Gr2

", "

bL2

", "

Wh2

") have to be set at correct values.

The menu items (their name and order) stated below match to a standard 

RGBW

 colour variant of LED modules 

connected to both LED inputs (zones). 

  

rE1=red LED(s) at zone 1 

rE2=red LED(s) at zone 2 

 

Gr1=green LED(s) at zone 1 

Gr2=green LED(s) at zone 2

 

bL1=blue LED(s) at zone 1 

bL2=blue LED(s) at zone 2

 

Wh1=white LED(s) at zone 1 

Wh2=white LED(s) at zone 2

 This is an example:by reason  that order of items in the  menu "C.Li" is constant, for GAB colour combination 

the items "Gr1" and "Gr2" has to be set to 420 (letter A is on the

 second position 

in the name of the colour 

combination and on the second position for each zone in the menu 

C.Li

"  is the item "Gr1"/"Gr2").

To adjust current limiting:

1.

 Browse through the menu by pressing the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons until the display shows "
