Configuration commands
In addition to configuring the TR-RC using its web page interface, you can
configure it from the front panel or using the Ethernet connection. Both of
these methods are described in this section along with general information
about setting up lights.
10.1
Lighting setup
Lighting units have a rating, given in current or voltage, that produces
100% brightness continuously. The TR-RC controller is compatible with
current or voltage rated lights.
If you connect a
triniti
enabled light, its ratings are set up by the TR-RC
automatically. Otherwise, you must enter the rating for the light before
connecting it to the controller, or if you replace it with a different type of
light.
Always consult the labelling on the lamp or the datasheet for its rating.
Where a voltage and current rating are quoted, use the voltage to set up
the controller. Where a voltage and power rating are quoted, use the
voltage rating. In all other cases use the current rating. If the light is not
rated, use the current rating from the LED datasheet.
The current rating can be set from 0.01A to 2.0A for the TR-RC120 or 0.1A
to 10A for the TR-RC122 in steps of 0.01A. The voltage rating can be set
from 12V to 24V in steps of 1V.
When a voltage rated light is connected, the TR-RC automatically senses
the current rating of the light.
Both voltage and current rated lights are driven with a constant current.
This provides better brightness stability and allows the TR-RC to prevent
the light being over-driven.
10.2
Front panel commands
Using the front panel keypad, you can set the configuration, set a key lock
code so unauthorised users cannot change any settings, set the internal
trigger timer, view trigger status, and set the voltage or current rating.
The TR-RC features a protective clear plastic cover over the display and
push-buttons. With this cover open, the operation of the unit is unaffected
by static discharges up to 2kV. With the protective cover closed, the EMC
requirements of EN61326 are fully met. The unit is therefore suitable for
initial setting up with the cover open. However, the cover should be closed
when in use.
