The

LCU

 

EV

offers

 

6

 

light

 

outputs

 

in

 

total,

 

on

 

each

 

output

 

PLUS

 

and

 

MINUS

.

 

The

 

supply

 

voltage

 

of

 

the

 

used

 

battery

 

/

 

BEC

 

is

 

available

 

at

 

the

 

output

 

pins.

 

Thereby

 

you

 

have

 

a

 

maximum

 

of

 

flexibility

 

for

 

designing

 

the

 

lighting

 

system

 

and

 

choosing

 

different

 

LED

 

types

 

with

 

different

 

forward

 

voltages.

 

It

 

is

 

possible

 

to

 

use

 

every

 

LED

 

type

 

and

 

every

 

power

 

type

 

up

 

to

 

a

 

voltage

 

of

 

13V

 

and

 

a

 

current

 

of

 

3A

 

per

 

output.

 

The

 

outputs

 

have

 

a

 

common

 

PLUS

 

strip,

 

that

 

means

 

that

 

PLUS

 

wires

 

e.g.

 

of

 

the

 

model

 

wings

 

can

 

be

 

put

 

together.

The

 

AURORA

 

LCU

 

EV

2

O

 

offers

 

operation

 

of

 

all

 

typical

 

LEDs

 

with

 

a

 

resistor

 

in

 

series.

 

Every

 

Output

 

can

 

be

 

operated

 

with

 

up

 

to

 

3A

 

(5A

 

in

 

flashing

 

mode).

 

Multiple

 

LEDs

 

can

 

be

 

connected

 

in

 

parallel

,

 

in

 

this

 

case

 

every

 

LED

 

needs

 

its

 

own

 

resistor.

 

  

The

 

right

hand

 

chart

 

shows

 

the

 

polarity

 

of

 

the

 

SEOUL

 

1Watt

 

/

 

3Watt

 

power

 

LEDs:

 

Next

 

to

 

each

 

pole

 

is

 

a

 

small

 

brass

 

stub,

 

which

 

is

 

scored

 

on

 

the

 

minus

 

side,

 

but

 

not

 

on

 

the

 

plus

 

side.

 

 

The

 

classic

 

3mm

 

/

 

5mm

 

LED

 

types

 

mark

 

the

 

plus

 

terminal

 

with

 

a

 

longer

 

pin.

 

 

The

 

classic

 

SuperFLux

 

LEDs

 

are

 

marked

 

with

 

flattened

 

corner

 

which

 

shows

 

the

 

minus

 

terminals.

 

There

 

are

 

four

 

pins

 

for

 

increasing

 

stability

 

on

 

printed

 

circuit

 

boards,

 

so

 

plus

 

and

 

minus

 

are

 

available

 

twice

 

but

 

have

 

to

 

be

 

connected

 

only

 

at

 

one

 

pin.

 

 

If

 

multiple

 

LEDs

 

are

 

connected

 

to

 

one

 

output

 

in

 

parallel,

 

the

 

PLUS

  

wires

 

can

 

be

 

combined

 

to

 

one

.

 

 

Because

 

the

 

AURORA

 

LCU

 

EV

2

O

 

can

 

provide

 

high

 

currents,

 

the

 

output

 

connector

 

is

 

a

 

female

 

one,

 

so

 

that

 

it

 

is

 

not

 

possible

 

to

 

have

 

a

 

short

 

circuit

 

due

 

to

 

accidentally

 

touching

 

with

 

metallic

 

parts.

 

LEDs

 

are

 

connected

 

by

 

using

 

the

 

connected

 

pin

 

rail.

 

For

 

more

 

easy

 

soldering,

 

put

 

the

 

pin

 

rail

 

into

 

the

 

AURORA

 

LCU

 

EV

2

O

 

during

 

soldering

 

process.

 

 

A

 

very

 

easy

 

and

 

comfortable

 

solution

 

is

 

the

 

Light

 

Plug

 

6

 

from

 

Optotronix

 

accessories.

 

 

If

 

you

 

like

 

to

 

have

 

a

 

separate

 

connector

 

for

 

each

 

output,

 

use

 

the

 

Light

 

Connector

 

Cables

 

from

 

Optotronix

 

accessories.
