Safety Instructions - Barthelme CHROMOFLEX RC Manual

CHROMOFLEX RC - Manual - English V1.04 - www.barthelme.de Rev. 13.04.2015
Wireless Full-Spectrum-Colour-Control
Chromoflex RC is an excellent value full colour control and was designed for use with modern high-power RGB LEDs. There
are currently two Chromoflex RC models available „i350" for use with constant current LEDs and „STRIPE" for use with LED
stripes. The Chromoflex RC is able to synthesise up to 16 million different colours. Hence, it is the ideal control for all kinds
of sophisticated effect illuminations, deco and wellness lighting.
Chromoflex RC is a further development of the Chromoflex I and II series. The acronym RC stands for „Radio Controlled".
That is the reason why either a handheld Chromoflex Radio Remote Control or the Chromoflex USB dongle (for PC) is
required additionally to this Chromoflex RC module.
The Chromoflex RC was designed for easy use. It comes with many built-in effects (from calming colour change up to show
effects). However, the user can change and store many own settings. Up to 8 different wireless networks can be operated
simultaneously. The colour changes and static colours of the modules within a network are synchronised automatically (but
random effects of course not). The range of the radio transmission is depending on the environment, but can be up to 300
meters in open air. Indoors a reliable operation within 20-50 meters normally is no problem.
Usage
The modules were designed for in-house use in dry places, but the LEDs (if suited) might also be used in wet environments
or outdoor.
Important: The modules must be operated with a power supply that is matched to the used LEDs! Other loads than LEDs
(especially inductive loads like motors, coils, ..) might destroy the module.
Chromoflex RC operates on a frequency of 868.3MHz (licence-free in EC, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland)

Safety Instructions

The modules might produce some heat. Care must be taken for sufficient air ventilation.
Although the modules are equipped with a limited reverse polarity protection, connecting the power in reverse polarity (even
for a short time) can destroy the module.
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 taking care that the maximum operating temperature is not exceeded,
because this might reduce the expected lifetime 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 of the fact 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
