2. Configuration SPL-3.
The main rule of SPL-3 controller is that the way of work is decide by “controller codes”
which can be set in by a user in any time. The set of “controller codes” (see table 1 and 2.4
point) is very wide, which ensure the high variety of the way of work and to control the LED
lightning using SPL-3 driver. At the same time the configuration of controller, which means
signing in the controller codes to SPL-3 controller is very simple and doesn’t require any
technical skills.
The controller codes always compose from 3 digits (from 0 to 9), which have to be sign in
to SPL-3 controller which will activate the function realized by this controller. Usually
complete and correct SPL-3 controller configuration to work in requested way demands
entering in few controller codes.
To enter the controller codes are used 2 buttons marked as CODE and PLUS and 2
signalization diodes – yellow and green, see Fig. 1.
2.1. HV CONTROL function.
HV CONTROL function is use to enter the controller codes to the SPL-3 controller
without using buttons CODE and PLUS. Then uses the external controls buttons PLUS and
CODE, which user can connect to the inputs control – IN A and IN B. A prerequisite for the
operation of external buttons and the buttons CODE PLUS is connected to one voltage greater
than 18V (18V do 32V) – Fig.2. The driver SPL-3 while working in every way of LED
control, detects the pressing of external buttons Code and Plus and reacts in the same way as
if the CODE and PLUS build in has been pushed. Please remember to previous disconnect the
controller inputs line A and B different equipment (installations) for example DMX-512
controller, because the highest voltage for those lines may destroy those equipment
(installations). To sum up - the configuration of SPL-3 controller using the HV CONTROL
function should be carry out while complete disconnection from every others controller’s
signals.
HV CONTROL function is helpful mainly when SPL-3 controller is fully built-up and
there is no access to the buttons CODE and PLUS.
At the same reason SPL-3 controller during configuration duplicate the action of build-in
signalization diodes on the exit channel, allowing observation of the LED driver outputs are
connected to the SPL-3 exits as the signalization diodes.
CH1 RED – red LED signalization diode.
CH2 GREEN – green LED signalization diode.
