Page 4: Getting Started
See inside the front cover for other Gardasoft Vision lighting controllers. Connect the PP600 up to a supply and an LED lighting unit as described in “Connections.” Note that the supply voltage must be connected to three terminals. When the PP600 powers up it should show two alternating lines on the display to indicate that it is operating properly. -

Page 7: General Description
The delay and pulse duration can range from 20us to 1 second in 20us or 2ms steps. The PP600 is set up using four push buttons and a four digit seven-segment display. Configurations are saved in non-volatile memory so that the PP600 will resume... -

Page 9: Mechanical Fixing
Mechanical Fixing The PP600 can be mounted onto a flat surface using the threaded holes in the base, see diagram. The PP600 should only be mounted either vertically or with its base horizontal. It should be mounted at least 15mm away from the sides of plastic enclosures. - Page 10 To limit the power, set the power supply output voltages to the minimum value required by the LED light and the PP600 together. Chose a PSU that limits its output current by design, by setting the current limit on the supply (if this feature exists) or use fuses.
- Page 11 4.5v and 24v DC for a positive logic level. Open circuit or less than 1v gives a negative logic level. The case of the PP600 is not connected to the GND supply connection. On previous revisions of this product the case was connected to GND.

Page 12: Power Supply
This is so that crosstalk between the outputs can be minimised when one channel has a high output current. Start by wiring the PP600 up as in section 9.2.1. It is possible to run the two channels and digital system from two or three separate supplies as shown in 9.2.2, though this will rarely be necessary. - Page 13 8.2.1 Single Supply Applications The diagram below shows the normal supply wiring scheme for the PP600. The three ground connections and VS connections are commoned. 8.2.2 Split Supply Applications It is possible to run the two channels and digital system from two or three separate supplies as shown below, though this will rarely be necessary.

Page 14: Operation
Operation The PP600 is set up using the push buttons and display on the front of the unit. The set up is non-volatile, so the PP600 will resume the same operation after a power cycle. Startup On power up, the PP600 will display “8.8.8.8.” to test the display is working, then “PP6”, followed by the version number, eg “017”, and then will be ready... - Page 15 0V to (for example) 5V input 9.3.3 Simple and Extended Set Ups There are two ways to set up the PP600 – Simple and Extended. Simple Set Up can be used to set up: Continuous output in milliamps Pulsed output up to 99ms...

- Page 18 9.3.7 Setting Up Pulsed Operation Pulsed operation can be set up using Simple Set Up. PP600 is ready Press and hold SELECT for one second Use UP or DOWN to select which output channel to set up - "CH1" or "CH2".
- Page 19 9.3.8 Extended Set Up Extended Set Up allows all the features of the PP600 to be set up. It is entered by holding the RANGE button down for one second. In order for the whole range of timing values to be entered, it is necessary to specify whether the delay is in seconds or milliseconds.
- Page 20 Note that for "CON" mode there is one current to be Press SELECT set, for "SE 1" and "SE 2" there are two currents to be set and for "SE12" there are four current to be set. Press SELECT The PP600 sets the Wait one second output current.
- Page 21 Select "0" for amps or "-3" for milliamps. Then Wait one second press SELECT to set the pulsed current. The RANGE button changes which digit is altered. Press SELECT Press SELECT The PP600 is ready to pulse the output on a Wait one second trigger.

Page 22: Command Structure
The PP610 and PP612 can be programmed via a serial communications link either from within the user’s custom code using MSCOMMS32.OCX or using the PP600COM DLL or OCX provided by Gardasoft Vision (see www.gardasoft.com). Alternatively a utility such as HyperTerminal running on a PC can be used to program an individual unit. - Page 23 If a command is invalid, one of the following error codes is echoed as well as being displayed on the LEDs. E33 Unrecognised command or parameters. E44 Illegal mode or channel number in command. Commands take effect immediately they are issued. Because of this, if the settings are being changed from high current Pulsed Output mode to a Continuous Output mode, it is advisable to set the current values to 0 using the RC command before changing mode.
- Page 24 No overcurrent operation Channel 1 has been over current since last GR Channel 2 has been over current since last GR The PP600 has overheated and has switched off both outputs EC1EC2 Both channels have been over current since last GR ET response was introduced in firmware revision 017.
- Page 25 10.1.2 Continuous Output Mode In this case the mode of operation is selected and a single current output value defined.

- Page 26 v = output current (mA) e = (optional) maximum current rating of the LEDs. If it is not required, leave the Ee off the command. Note: This command must be sent for all output selections defined by the mode command. If a single input is selected two current settings are needed for selections 0 and 1.
- Page 27 Syntax: RCfCcVvEe Where: f = output channel (1 or 2) c = output selection, in this case 0 v = output current (mA) e = (optional) maximum current rating of the LEDs. If it is not needed, leave the Ee off the command. Example of Pulsed Mode Set output channel 2 to pulse a current of 5.35A for 100ms triggered by input 1, with a delay of 15ms, a debounce period of 20ms and the...
- Page 28 PP602 & PP612 The PP602 and PP612 have the same screw terminals as on the PP600 and PP610. In addition they also have connectors for Japan style lights. Power input and the digital inputs are only available on the screw terminals. The connectors are not labelled on the case.
- Page 29 A. Timing The following timings apply for PP600 V017. A.1 Selected Continuous Mode The maximum delay from an input changing to the output current changing is 500us. A.2 Pulse Mode For short delays and pulse widths the actual timings are repeatable but not exact.

Page 30: Error Codes
B. Error Codes Error codes may be displayed by the PP600. These are shown as “E nn”, where nn gives the number of the error. To cancel the error message, press “SELECT”. The error codes are: EC 1, EC 2 The current to one of the outputs has been turned off because the maximum output energy has been exceeded. - Page 32 Lighting controller with RS232 PP612 Lighting controller with Japan style connectors and RS232 PP701 DIN Rail mounting clip for PP600 and PP600F range PP600F Range Same as the PP600 range but with fast pulsing • Pulse delay from 10us to 9.9ms in 1us steps •...
