Rev. 03.05.2010
Safety Instructions
The modules might produce some heat. Care must be taken to provide unrestricted air ventilation.
The ChromoFlex is equipped with a built-in protection against reverse polarity. Connecting the power
in reverse polarity can destroy the module, even if connected for a short time only.
We decline any liability, loss, or damage caused by improperly used modules! Guarantee is also lost
in such cases.
Important: 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!
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.

Connecting the LEDs / Power Supply
Important: The module must be operated with a power supply, that is suitable for the used LEDs!
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 7.5 Volts; maximum voltage is 26 Volts (+ 5%).
