Control Unit for LED Light Units
PD3-5024-4-EI(A)
With Ethernet communications
Instruction Guide
Thank you for purchasing a CCS product.
To ensure proper use of the product,
please read this Instruction Guide before
use and keep it for your future reference.
This Control Unit is specifically designed to control the light intensity of
CCS LED Light Units. It is mainly used to control LED Light Units that
are used for machine vision and industrial inspections.
Features
Connect 24V DC Light Units and Spotlights. Use up to 4 channels.
The light intensity can be manually controlled with a switch on the front panel, or
externally controlled using Ethernet.
Use PWM control to control the 24V DC Light Unit output at a frequency of 125 kHz.
TCP/IP and UDP/IP Ethernet communications can be used for external control.
Use external trigger inputs to turn Light Units ON and OFF, or to flash the strobe
(for 24V DC Light Units only).

Read before Use
Do not connect any Light Units other than
CCS LED Light Units. Doing so may cause
overcurrent and the device may overheat or
ignite.
Do not use user-made light cables.
Doing so may cause Control Unit failure.
Do not place the Control Unit in direct
sunlight or in a high-humidity environment.
Doing so may result in fire due to internal
temperature rise.
Always place the Control Unit on a stable and
flat location. Not doing so may result in the
Control Unit falling or toppling, which may
cause malfunction, accidents, or bodily injury.
UNPLUG
Do not drop the Control Unit or subject it to
impact. Doing so may cause Control Unit
failure.
Do not bend cables or jam them between
objects when wiring. Doing so may cause
Control Unit failure.
Do not intentionally short-circuit the positive
and negative output terminals.
DO NOT TOUCH
WITH WET HANDS
Do not wipe the Control Unit with volatiles
such as paint thinner or benzene.
MANDATORY
Discoloration or deterioration of the Control
ACTIONS
Unit surfaces may occur.
Use a dry cloth to remove dust or other
foreign matter from the electrodes. Failure to
do so may result in fire.

Caution
Always use one of the following power cords.
100 to 120 V range: SVT or SJT, AWG18,
length: 3 m max., dielectric strength: 125 V min.
200 to 240 V range: H05VV-F, AWG18, length:
PROHIBITED
3 m max., dielectric strength: 250 V min.
Plug the power cord directly into a wall
socket. Using a power strip or connecting
many loads from one electrical outlet may
PROHIBITED
cause fire or electric shock.
Do not bundle Control Unit cables with
high-voltage lines or power lines.
Allow leeway when installing the cables.
PROHIBITED
Always ground the power cord. Not doing so
may cause Control Unit failure due to static
electricity destroying electrical components
including those in the Light Unit.
PROHIBITED
Use Light Units that are suitable for the
Control Unit ratings. Exceeding the ratings
may cause Control Unit failure.
PROHIBITED
Use a standard Extension Cable that is
manufactured by CCS. However, if the cable
is too long, the light intensity will decrease
due to voltage drop caused by the DC
PROHIBITED
resistance of the cable.
Do not disconnect the power cord or
disassemble the Control Unit during
operation. Pulling on the cable may damage
the cable and result in fire or electric shock.
PROHIBITED
Before moving the Control Unit, disconnect
all connection cables. Damaging the cables
may result in fire or electric shock.
PROHIBITED
When mounting the Control Units in system
racks or cases, do not insert the screws
more than 5 mm. Doing so may cause
short-circuits in internal components.
