CMB24D CMB24D Caution: Although most applications for this Metal Tab Transistor Consideration product use low voltages, this product may be CMB24D boards have transistors with metal tabs. used with dangerous DC voltages. It is important Heat sinks are not required if the current draw per that you have an understanding of electrical channel is 4 amps or less.
CMB24D CMB24D Put a lock washer on each screw and a bolt, don’t Hardware Fundamentals tighten the bolts yet. Do the same for the other ten screws. Now tighten but don’t over-tighten the bolts. Repeat the process for the other channel bank. Quick Start Guide This section assumes you have previous Light O Rama hardware experience.
The controller is not connected to an Settings section for the mapping of your desired active Light O Rama network or DMX universe. LOR/DMX address to DIP switch settings. LED is on solid: The controller is connected to an Legal LOR Network unit IDs are ‘01’...
CMB24D CMB24D You may use different voltages on channel banks 1- If you use a toggle switch, the sequence will run until 12 and 13-24. The ground between the two channel the switch it turned off. banks is common, but you must use both grounds The sequence always runs to completion, even if the when using the board to switch more than 30 amps.
CMB24D CMB24D it, it needs a heat sink. If your voltage is higher where it might be dangerous to touch the metal tab of the transistor, use a thermometer. Nitty-Gritty This section is for technical types who are not sure whether their application would be a good match for If you have one of the USB adapters (shown center the CMB24D.
