Features
One Control Unit can individually control three different Light Units.
The light intensity can be manually controlled with a dial on the front panel, or externally controlled
using a PLC or machine vision equipment.
PWM control is used to control the light intensity at a frequency of 125 kHz.
EIA-485 communications can be used for a maximum transmission distance of 30 m with
multidrop connections.
External trigger inputs can be used to turn lights ON or OFF, or to strobe lights.
The Control Unit can be used for CCS LED Light Units with a voltage of 24 V and
a power consumption of up to 28 W.
The total power consumption of the connected Light Units must be 28 W or less.

This product has been designed with full consideration of safety. Incorrect
usage of the product may result in fire, electric shock, or other serious
damages. Observe the following precautions.
Do not touch the power cords during
lightning. This may result in electric shock.
Do not disassemble or modify the product.
Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
Do not touch the plugs or switches with wet
hands. Doing so may result in electric shock.
Make sure that the product is free of
moisture or any liquid. Doing so may result
in fire or electric shock.
Before connecting or disconnecting cables,
make sure that the power source is turned
OFF. Not doing so may result in fire or
electric shock.
If an abnormal condition occurs, such as
fuming, heat, smell, or noise, stop using the
product immediately, turn OFF the power
source and unplug the power cord. Not
doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
Do not use user-made branch cables. Doing
so may cause product failure.
Do not place the product in direct sunlight or
in a high-humidity environment. Doing so
may result in fire due to internal temperature
rise.
Always place the product on a stable and flat
location. Doing so may result in the product
falling or toppling, which may cause
malfunction, accidents, or bodily injury.
Do not intentionally short-circuit the positive
and negative output terminals.
Do not bend cables or jam them between
objects when wiring. Doing so may cause
product failure.
Do not wipe the product with volatiles such
as paint thinner or benzene. Discoloration or
deterioration of the product surfaces may
occur.
Do not drop the product or subject it to
impact. Doing so may cause product failure.
Use a dry cloth to remove dust or other
foreign matter from the electrodes. Failure to
do so may result in fire.
Do not connect any Light Units other than
CCS LED Light Units. Doing so may cause
overcurrent and the device may overheat or
ignite.
Always use one of the following power cords.
100 to 120 V range: SVT or SJT, AWG18,
length: 3 m max., dielectric strength: 125 V min.
200 to 240 V range: H05VV-F, AWG18, length:
3 m max., dielectric strength: 250 V min.
Plug the power cord directly into an AC
outlet. Using a power strip or connecting
many loads from one electrical outlet may
cause fire or electric shock.
Do not bundle product cables with
high-voltage lines or power lines.
Allow leeway when installing the cables.
Always ground the power cord. Not doing so
may cause product failure due to static
electricity destroying electrical components
including those in the Light Unit.
Use Light Units that are suitable for the
product ratings. Exceeding the ratings may
cause product failure.
Make sure that the length of the extension
cable for light output is no longer than 5 m.
If the extension cable is longer than 5 m, the
voltage will drop due to the DC resistance of
the cable, and the light intensity will
decrease.
Do not disconnect the power cord or
disassemble the product during operation.
Pulling on the cable may damage the cable
and result in fire or electric shock.
Before moving the product, disconnect all
connection cables. Damaging the cables
may result in fire or electric shock.
When mounting products in system racks or
cases, do not insert the screws more than
5 mm. Doing so may cause short-circuits in
internal components.
