Safety Instructions
The modules might produce some heat. Care must be taken for unrestricted air ventilation.
Connecting the power in reverse polarity (even for a short time) can destroy the module. A fuse is built
in, but it can only be changed by soldering.
Important: It is guaranteed by design, that the Chromoflex modules will never generate any higher
voltage than the supply voltage. This makes the module on ideal solution for use in low-voltage areas,
like pools, steam bathes, SPAs, ...
Do not modify the electronics. Regard the official regulations for electrical devices (like DIN, VDE, EN),
especially if the LEDs are used in wet areas! This product is not a toy, keep away from children!
We decline any liability, loss, or damage caused by improperly used modules! Also guarantee is lost in
such cases.
Also LEDs can get quite hot. We strongly recommend to take care, that the maximum operating
temperature is not exceeded, because this might reduce the expected life time of the LEDs
significantly.
WARNING #1: LED light can have very high intensity, even if dimmed. Some modern LEDs even fall
under the lasers marking obligation. Particularly in connection with optics also weak LEDs can become
very dangerous. Staring into LEDs can cause irreparable damage to the eye's retina. Hence: NEVER
STARE INTO THE BEAM. Use diffusers to spread the intensity!
WARNING #2: Please be aware that LED light may cause side effects, because this light can change
intensity very fast! Changing light can affect the perception. Light pulses can release complaints or
seizures to humans with inclination to epilepsy.
Contents
Each Chromoflex is shipped with (this) short manual, a connector for power supply and a connector
for the network interface, s short pigtail (cable) for connecting up to 4 external buttons. The connector
cable to a PC (RS232) is available as separate item or can easily be made self (see software
documentation).
The Infrared-Remote Control (plus receiver) is an optional accessory.
Software / further information
Several Chromoflex modules can be connected together as a network (up to 30 should be no
problem, but this might vary with the cable length and cable type).
For programing the software „Chromoflex Editor“ is free for download from our Internet site (address
see end of manual). A COM-port (RS232) or a standard USB/RS232 converter is required.
