>> finished module <<
The
Light-Interface
for the parallel interface (LPT) of a
computer combines together with a minimum of one
Light-Display
-
Module
or
Light-Power-Module
the
hardware for the
PC-Light Control Light@Night
.
It is possible to connect up to
7 Light-Display
- and/or
Light-
Power-Modules
onto each
Light-Interface LI-LPT
.
The
lighting effects
(neon lamps, gas street lamps, flashing
blue light, light chains, traffic lights and others) can be assigned
to a
maximum of 280 outputs
.
Suitable for analog and digital model railways.
This product is not a toy! Not suitable for children under 14 years of age! The kit
contains small parts, which should be kept away from children under 3! Improper
use will imply danger of injuring due to sharp edges and tips! Please store this
instruction carefully.
Introduction/Safety instruction:
You have purchased the
Light-Interface
LI-LPT
for the PC-Light
control
Light@Night
for your analog or digital model railway.
The
Light-Interface
is a high quality product that is supplied
within the assortment of
L
ittfinski
D
aten
T
echnik (
LDT
).
We are wishing you having a good time using this product.
The finished module comes with a
24 month warranty
.
•
Please read the following instructions carefully. Warranty will
expire due to damages caused by disregarding the operating
instructions.
LDT
will also not be liable for any consequential
damages caused by improper use or installation.
Connect the Light-Interface to the PC and
the Light-Display-Module:
•
Attention: Before starting the installation switch off the
drive voltage by pushing the stop button or disconnect the
main supply.
•
The Light-Display-Modules contain a large capacitor
which has to be completely discharged before the Light-
Display-Module can be connected or disconnected.
Please wait a couple of minutes after switching off the
supply transformer before you connect or disconnect the
Light-Display-Module.
The
Light-Interface LI-LPT
will be supplied together with a
connection cable for the parallel interface port (LPT) of the
computer.
Connect now the
Light-Interface LI-LPT
to the
parallel
interface
of your computer by using the
25-poles connection
cable
. This port will be identified as
printer-connection (LPT)
as well.
The connection via an USB-Adapter is technically not possible.
On some few Laptops it can be possible that the parallel interface
will not comply to the actual valid standards. In this case
Light@Night
cannot be used on this Laptop.
Connect now the
Light-Interface
via the
10-poles socket bar
BU1
either to a
Light-Display-
or a
Light-Power-Module
.
Attend in any case
to the
pin bars
of the
Light-Display-
respectively
Light-Power-Module
to make sure that there is no
offset to the socket bar of the
Light-Interface
.
For this issue
please attend
as well to the
Operating
Instruction
of the
Light-Display-
respectively
Light-Power-
Module
.

It is possible to connect up to
7 Light-Display-
and/or
Light-
Power-Modules
to one
Light-Interface
. For this assembly shall
be the
second Display-Module
connected to the
first Display-
Module
via the
10-poles pin bar
either directly or with the
extension cable “Kabel Light@Night xm”.
The
Light Interface
receives always the operating voltage from
the first
Light-Display
- respectively
Light-Power
-Module. The
Light-Interface
contains a
galvanic separation
to the parallel
interface of the PC. Therefore is no direct electrical connection
between model railway and computer existent.
One
Light-Display
-Module offers 40 light control outputs with
0.5 Ampere each. One
Light-Power-Module
offers 24 outputs
of 2.5 Ampere each. Each output can be individual configured via
the
Light@Night
PC-Software.
Further
details referring to the wiring
of lamps and light
emitting diodes are available within the
Operating Instruction
of
the
Light-Display
- respectively
Light-Power
-Module.
