Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions
The modules might produce some heat. Care must be taken to provide unrestricted air ventilation.
Connecting the power in reverse polarity can destroy the module, even if connected for a short time
only. The built-in fuse can only be changed by soldering.
Important: It is guaranteed by design that the ChromoFlex modules will never generate any higher
voltage than the supply voltage. The module is the ideal solution for use in low-voltage areas, like
pools, steam baths, SPAs, ....
Electronics must not be modified. Observe the official regulations for electrical devices (like DIN, VDE,
EN), especially when 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! Guarantee is also lost
in such cases.
LEDs can get quite hot. We strongly recommend ensuring maximum operating temperature is not
exceeded, because this might reduce the expected life time of the LEDs significantly.
WARNING #1: LED light may have very high intensity even when dimmed. Some modern LEDs are
classified by the lasers marking obligation. Particularly in connection with optics also weak LEDs may
be very dangerous. Staring into LEDs may 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 that LED light may cause side effects. This light changes intensity
very fast! Changing light may affect the perception and is also known to trigger epileptic seizures in
persons who are photosensitive.
Contents
Each ChromoFlex is shipped with a short manual, a connector for power supply and a connector for
the network interface, and a short pigtail cable for connecting 4 external buttons. The connector cable
to a PC (RS232) is available as separate item or can be made easily by oneself (see software
documentation).
The Infrared-Remote Control plus receiver are optional accessories.
Software / further information
Several ChromoFlex modules can be linked in a network. A number of about 30 should be
unproblematic. The number of modules used can vary depending on cable length and cable type
used.
