DIGITAL ADJUSTMENTS

 

 

The VDC Control Unit doubles as power supply and digital remote controller of the following light 

parameters through its programmed CPU: 
 

 

Calibrated  Colour Temperature variation 

 

Stable colour dimming 

 

Green/magenta bias control 

 
 

Turning the Power On/Off 

Turn on the equipment by switching the power button towards the 

I

 position. Switch the power button 

towards

 0

 position to turn it off. 

The light settings always remain stored when the VDC Control Unit is powered off. 

 

 

 

Danger

 

Both  the  lamp  head  and  the  VDC  Control  Unit  are  electrically  protected 

against  power  failures  but  to  avoid  possible  electric  shocks  and/or  

equipment  damages  make  sure  the  power  switch  located  at  the  VDC 
Control  Unit  front  panel  will  be  off  before  connecting  or  disconnecting 

cables. 

In case of extreme over tension replace the 15Ah fuse from inside the fuse 
holder located at VDC Control Unit back. (see picture on page 9) 

 

NOTE:

 

If a power failure would happen or the cable would be accidentally disconnected the VDC 
Control  Unit  would  entry  on  Error  mode  and  the  number  8  would  show  in  the  digital 
display. 
To reset the equipment and resume the  light values turn  the switch power off,  connect 
extension cable and switch on the power button. 

 

 
 

 

COLOR TEMPERATURE Variation 

Colour temperature can be easily increased or reduced through the +/- buttons located at the VDC 
Control  Unit  front  panel.  Above  them  a  digital  display  indicates  at  all  times  the  selected  colour 
temperature. The value 3.2 corresponds to 3200K and the value 3.3 to 3300K and so on. 

Push the + button to increase colour temperature or push the – button to decrease it. If  you keep  
pushed any of the buttons the you will get a continuous variation. 

 

NOTE:

 

Every push on the buttons will increase or decrease the colour temperature in calibrated 

increments of 100 Kelvin.

 

 
 
 

 

TURBO 

By  activating  the  TURBO  button  (a  blue  LED  lights  up  on  the  screen  of  the  Control  Unit)  maximum 
light  output  is  achieved  in  the  colour  temperature  selected  and  the  value    9  will  appear  on  the 
dimmer display.
