Page 3: Product Description
Product Description There are now many digitally addressable LED strips on the market with various densities, formats and prices. Kling-Force LED makes it easy and affordable to drive them from an ArKaos software acting as a media server. The interface has one power connector and lets you drive 8 LED tapes: The power supply is external so that the user can pick the right voltage and power for his installation. - Page 4 To power the LED strips through the interface you must connect the V+. If you power directly the LED Strips, then you should not connect the V+. Powering the LED Strips through the Kling-Force LED This is the recommended way to drive LED Strips because it reduces the number of connections.
- Page 5 The clock signal is only needed if the LED strip has a clock input. It is not safe to connect a power supply with a voltage that doesn’t match the LED Strip specifications. The Kling-Force itself will accept between +5 to +12V and regulate it for its internal electronics but not to power LED Strips.

Page 6: Connecting The Power Supply
For +12V, the power supply needs to deliver a minimum of 480W. ArKaos recommends two models of power supplies in the HRP serie from MEAN WELL, one for +5V and one for +12V. They offer short circuit, overload, overvoltage and overtemperature protections. - Page 7 Introduction to mapping LED strips The Kling-Force interfaces are presented in ArKaos software as nodes with editable properties. The interface needs to know how many pixels are connected to each LED Strip output and also lets user select from many supported protocols.
- Page 8 Mapping LED strips with LEDMaster LEDMaster version 1.2.x or above is required to support Kling-Force LED interfaces. First select the Kling-Force interface in the Connected Nodes list. Then select the right protocol and define for each output the length of the line strips.
- Page 9 Mapping LED strips with GrandVJ or MediaMaster The minimal version to use with a Kling-Force LED is GrandVJ 2.3.x and MediaMaster 5.1.x First select the Kling-Force interface in the Connected Nodes list.
