AL DRIVER 1 (SINGLE CHANNEL DIMMING - DMX/0-10V)
The AL Driver 1 module controls one circuit of Flex Tube Mini, either under control of an
external DMX digital signal, an external 0-10V/1-10V analog signal or using standalone
intensity mixes. The AL Driver 1 is a constant voltage device and needs to operate from a
24VDC power supply (5A maximum).

EXTERNAL DIMMING CONTROL
To select external control, ensure that switch 10 is ON. Note:
The DMX and analog (0-10V/1-10V) inputs are both active in this
mode, so it is important that only one set of inputs are connected
at any one time: either DMX OR analog. When DMX is used,
switches 1 to 9 are then used to set the DMX start address.
Switches 1 to 9 are 'weighted' with a value as shown here:
Note: Numerous apps
are available to assist
you with configuring
the correct switch
combinations for a
given DMX address.
0-10V / 1-10V SELECTION
Using switch 11, you can choose between 0-10V
current source (active) [sw11-OFF] or 1-10V current
sink (passive) [sw11-ON] control inputs. The primary
difference between the two schemes lies with where
the control voltage should be generated: Current source
requires the controlling device to provide (source) the
control voltage; whereas Current sink mandates that the
controlled fixture must provide the voltage.

OPTIONAL CURVE
SMOOTHING
When switch 12 is set to
ON, additional intermediate
steps are added to the
response curve to help
eradicate any visible
stepping between the usual
256 (8-bit) dimming levels.
