DIP-Switches 

The selected Network and the Master mode are  set  with  a small  4-DIP  switch inside of the module. 
The top of the cover can be easily removed. 

Important: Please do not touch any of the electronic  components, because of the risk of damage by 
electrostatic  discharge.  We  recommend  using  a  small  non-conductive  tool  to  change  the  DIP 
switches. 

Important: Any change of the DIP switches become active after a reset or power on only ! 

 

 

Technical Data: 

Operating Voltage: 7 - 26 Volt (+ 5%), stabilised.  

Important: The power supply used must be able to bear pulsed loads. Unstabilised or too weak power 
supplies can cause unwanted flickering effects, especially during colour changes! 

Module current (without LED lamps): ca. 20 mA 

Operating  temperature:  0°C  -  max.  +50°C  (recommended:  <=  30°C)  (Use  only  in  dry  places  with 
sufficient air ventilation) 

Modulation  system:  The  Chromoflex modules  are  based on  a  digital  System,  called  „Vector-Fractal-
Modulation“ or „VFM“. This modulation system was optimised for minimising load on power supplies 
and  has  considerable  advantages  compared  to  traditional  systems.  The  modulation  frequency  is  in 
the range from 120 Hz up to (max.) 240 Hz. Patent pending.
