  • Page 22: Breaker (Output) Features

    ___________________________________________________________ Breaker (Output) Features Soft Start Soft Start is a function that ramps up the voltage, of an output channel when it is turned on to reduce the inrush current to the device being powered. (See: Figure 8) Figure 8 - Soft Start Voltage Ramp Soft Start ramps the voltage of the load output, over a 1 second period.
  • Page 23: Paralleling Breakers

    CLMD16 User’s Manual WARNING The breaker being used as a dimming module will provide an active high output at full battery voltage to the LED control module. Verify that the LED control module can accept this type of input prior to use. When a breaker is configured to provide a PWM output (dimming), the PWM frequency is 200 Hz (channels 3-10) or 20 kHz (channels 1, 2, 11, 12).
  • Page 24: Half Bridge Operation

    ___________________________________________________________ Please note that the maximum current rating when multiple breakers are paralleled is typically, 180% of the single channel rating. (Example: 18A maximum for two 10A breakers in parallel). • When two breakers are configured in parallel, the lowest-numbered breaker controls the pair.
  • Page 25 CLMD16 User’s Manual...
  • Page 26: Load Shedding

    ___________________________________________________________ Figure 10 - Full Bridge Operation Concept Load Shedding Load shedding is a way to extend the time the system can keep working when the battery voltage is getting low. As the battery voltage drops, the CLMD16 will turn off low priority loads. This is based on 3 priority levels.
  • Page 27: Overcurrent Protection

    CLMD16 User’s Manual There are three load shedding levels: • Low • Medium • High (default) Each channel has a load shedding priority which is user configurable. The Medium and Low load shedding priorities have a user-configurable deactivation threshold and an activation threshold voltage level.
  • Page 28: Binary Event Monitor

    ___________________________________________________________ Figure 11 - Current vs Time Graph The nominal current that can flow through an ECB is determined by the power it can dissipate continuously without exceeding its own thermal limits. When an overcurrent condition is detected, the CLMD16 will trip, turning off the current to the supplied load. The breaker can be reset by ®...
  • Page 29 CLMD16 User’s Manual The voltage levels at which these discrete states are calculated are individually programmable for each of the input channels.

  • Page 32: Timer Delay

    ___________________________________________________________ Timer Delay The CLMD16 provides eight instances of a timer delay function. The Timer Delay function provides the Switching Application the ability to postpone the activation of load output channels upon receiving channel activation commands up to 65,535 seconds for each. This is not to be confused with the Soft Start function as the timer delay function does not contribute to the load PWM output.
