Chromoflex - Manual - English V1.07
In Learn-Mode single colours can be mixed or dimmed individually.
Push Learn button: the actual setting freezes when a colour change is running. Then every single
colour can be dimmed.
Select the colour by pushing button 2 or 4 for a longer time. The colour flashes when the button is
pushed. The colours can be scrolled by pushing the button again. Now the selected colour or intensity
of the lights is dimmable with button 1 and 3 and it can be varied in 7 steps. To return to Dim-Mode,
switch off the unit with On/Off-button.
The selected colour or intensity is lost when you turn off the unit.
Hint: Try to set up the colour „white": White consists of 100% green and about 30-50% of Red and
Blue (depending on the used LEDs).
A Pool-Scenario
In this last paragraph we will describe a small „real world" example:
Let's assume you would like to illuminate a pool with several Chromoflex modules, but without using
any PC software or network:
The lamps are separated into 3 groups:
Group „Under-Water": Start with „Blue" as first colour.
Group „Walls"
Group „Ceiling"
Group „Under-Water":
Group „Walls"
Group „Ceiling"
The colours should change slowly and each colour should be held for 2 minutes. All modules should
transit to the next colour simultaneously.
This task is easy to perform:
1.) Because each Chromoflex contains a precise „Quartz crystal oscillator", all modules run quite
synchronously after reset or power on. The deviation between the modules is only a few seconds per
day. Normally a pool illumination does not run continuously, hence the power-on is sufficient for
synchronisation.
2.) All modules are set to effect 2 (slow colour change) with a holding time of 120 sec per colour.
3.) The starting colour is determined by the group:
As a result these are the settings for the DIP switches:
DIP 1
DIP 2
DIP 3

On

It is that easy!
Software 1 - 2 - 3
1.) We offer the „Chromoflex Editor" for free-download from our website. The software contains
additional documentation, not covered by this manual.
2.) We are planning to publish drivers for all common PC programming languages, so that any
interested user is able to integrate the Chromoflex in their own software.
