Connection
of
Afterburner
Rings
It
is
possible
to
connect
voltage
‐
controlled
afterburner
‐
rings
to
the
AURORA
LCU
EV
2
O
for
afterburner
simulation
in
EDF
or
turbine
models.
It
is
also
possible
to
connect
self
‐
made
afterburner
‐
rings
or
single
LEDs
to
simulate
an
afterburner
‐
effect
as
long
as
it
is
possible
to
drive
(with
a
resistor)
at
a
voltage
of
3,2V
–
13V.
Afterburner
‐
rings
with
a
maximum
current
of
3A
can
be
connected
to
one
output.
Rings
with
a
higher
current
are
connected
to
two
or
more
outputs
in
parallel.
So
the
AURORA
LCU
EV
2
O
makes
it
possible
to
drive
up
to
6
small
or
3
big
afterburner
rings
simultaneously.
The
AURORA
LCU
EV
2
O
offers
10
different
and
true
to
original
afterburner
effects.
A
very
special
feature
by
Optotronix
is
the
afterburner
random
generator,
which
generates
a
very
realistic
flame
effect.
In
contrast
to
low
cost
lighting
electronics,
there
is
no
loop
of
the
same
flame
effect
all
the
time.
Instead,
no
second
of
the
flame
effect
looks
like
another.
Attention:
The
AURORA
LCU
EV
2
O
only
can
be
used
in
scale
‐
lighting
‐
mode
(positions
lights,
flashes,
beacon)
OR
in
afterburner
‐
mode
,
because
you
control
the
afterburner
effect
by
speed
‐
channel
but
the
scale
‐
mode
by
a
additional
switching
‐
channel.
If
you
like
to
realize
both,
you
have
to
install
two
modules.
