M. CAN out N. 24 V DC Connecting the hardware Connect the original 24 V DC power supply to the power socket (N) of the LG4. Never use a third- party power supply. 3.2.1 CAN connection If you have more than one LG4 and want to connect them over CAN (Controlled Area Network), select the master LG4 and connect it to your PC.

Switch between the power modes by pushing and holding the rotary knob (B) 3.3.2 PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) The LG4 uses pulse width modulation (PWM) to control illumination levels. The high frequency of 32 kHz allows a flicker-free image acquisition for most cameras. The constant current has the benefit of a constant correlated color temperature.

LEDs correlates to their temperature. Depending on the selected illumination level and stability of the ambient temperature, the LG4 regularly reaches a stable temperature after up to 10 minutes. The Illumination level will not fluctuate at a constant temperature.

Storage and Transport Store and transport the LG4 only in a suitable package, providing sufficient protection to the device. The LG3 flight case fits the LG4 and can be ordered from Image Engineering. Disposal Instructions The LG4 must be adequately disposed of after the service life is over. Electrical and electromechanical components are included in LG4.
