Chromoflex-Module V1.5 (Model „Controlled White“)                       

Overview 

ChromoFlex  RC  Controlled White  is  an  excellent  control  unit  for  different  shades  of  white  and  was 
designed for use with modern High-Power LEDs. ChromoFlex is able to generate 25 different shades 
of white ranging from warm white to cool white. Various shades of white can be attained or changed 
according to mood or requirements of daily  life. Best performance can be achieved with Bartheleme 
LEDlight flex 14 Controlled White. 

ChromoFlex  RC  CW is  an  enhancement  of  ChromoFlex  RC  RGB.  ChromoFlex  RC  CW  receives  all 
commands by radio control. Therefore, for controlling and alignment,  either the ChromoFlex Remote 
Control or USB-Dongle is needed.  

The  ChromoFlex  RC  Controlled White  was  designed  so  that  sophisticated  illuminations  of  daily  life 
can  be  attained  even  without  programming.  The  unit  is  equipped  with  25  miscellaneous  shades  of 
white, ranging from cold white to calming dusky warm white. 

Some  of  these  shades can  be  edited  with  Remote  Control  or  PC  and can  be  stored  as  a  ´standard 
shade of white´. 

Several  ChromoFlex modules can be linked in  a network by radio control. Up to 8 different nets can 
be  operated  simultaneously.  Within  one  net  all  shades  of  white  will  run  synchronous  automatically. 
Therefore  sophisticated  illuminations can  be  attained without  much  effort.  Operating  range depends 
on room conditions. Operation of up to 300 metres should be possible outdoors. Indoors an operating 
range of 20- 50 metres should be unproblematic. 

 

Usage 

The  modules  were  designed  for  indoor  use  in  dry  places.  The  LEDs  might  also  be  used  in  wet 
environments or outdoors, if suited for that purpose. 

Important:  The  modules  must  be  operated  with  a  power  supply  that  is  matched  to  the  used  LEDs! 
Non-LED loads (especially inductive loads like motors, coils, etc) might destroy or damage the  

module. 

ChromoFlex RC CW operates on a frequency of 868.3 Mhz (license free in EC, Switzerland, Norway 
and Iceland.
