For programming the software „ChromoFlex Editor" is free for download from our website (address at
the end of manual). A COM-port (RS232) or a standard USB/RS232 converter is required.
Connecting the LEDs / Power Supply
Important: The module must be operated with a power supply, that is suitable for the used LEDs!
Important: Matched LED lamps, including power supplies are available from stock. We also supply
complete kits, including plug-n-play connectors.
Important: Improper power supplies may lead to malfunctions and unwanted flickering effects or
overheating. We strongly recommend using high-quality (stabilised) switching power supplies!
One power supply can be used for several ChromoFlex modules in parallel, if the maximum output
power of the supply is observed.
The minimum voltage for correct operation is 7 Volts; maximum voltage is 24 Volts (+ 5%).
Model „I350"
This model has 3 lines of 350 mA each. The power supply must match the number of LEDs used in
series: most high-power LEDs for 350mA constant current require around 3 - 3.7 Volts, depending on
colour, type and manufacturer. Usually, green and blue LEDs require the highest voltages; the
forward voltage of red is usually lower. The „I350" itself additionally requires about 0.5 Volts to
maintain line regulation.
