3.3. RANDOM mode.
RANDOM mode allows for the completely independent work of SPL-3 controller without
using any additional steering signals (DMX-512, analogue, buttons). The way of steering the
LED diodes is decided by steering codes: 001 ... 500, 560 ... 569, 570 ... 579. These codes are
describe in 2.4 point.
In SPL-3 controller there are defined 5 color pallets. Every pallet contains 10 different
colours: black (LED diodes extinguish), red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, blue, violet,
pink, white. Accurate hues of this colors depends on the types of diodes and LED tapes.
Additionally the hues of the colors can be changes by using WHITE BALANCE which is
available in all modes of work.
Every from 5 pallets in SPL-3 controller has the same colors, by there are arranged in
different sequences – see table 3.

Palette selection is made by entering the first digit code from

– digits 0, 1, 2, 3,

The second digit code from the above range

– specifies the initial number of
color, or color of the driver starts the LEDs light up.
The third digit code from the above range

– specifies the number of final color,
the color in which the controller has completed the LED lights up.
After reaching the final color of the driver goes back to the original color and the whole cycle
repeats itself. Colors outside the selected range will never light up.
Final color number may be smaller than the initial color number, which will light up the
color of the selected range in reverse order.
Colors of a selected palette and a selected range of lights are one after the other at a rate of
change defined codes 561 ... 569.
For code 561 color changes occur approximately every 40 seconds (slowest changing colors).
For code 569 color changes occur several times per second, giving the effect of flashing LEDs
(the fastest color change).
Additionally, code 560 to control the speed of color changes using analog 0-10V input given
to IN A the driver SPL-3.
Codes 560… 569 are described more in the instructions point.2.4.
