Page 6: Operation Mode
TMS Lite LC-18-4CH-KP1 Operation Mode Constant Mode Constant mode offers continuous lighting intensity control. Lighting intensity is controlled using constant current technique. Brightness can be adjusted from fully off to fully on in the range of 0 – 255. Strobe Mode Strobe mode provides short interval triggering for applications that require high intensity and high precision. -
Page 7: Trigger Mode
TMS Lite LC-18-4CH-KP1 Trigger Mode Trigger mode provides most flexibility for variable timing light output. The light output ON when input trigger signal received and OFF when no input signal. External Trigger Lighting Strobe Current Multiplier Current Multiplier setting provides more precise control of lighting intensity for lightings with different current ratings. -
Page 8: Control Mode
LC-18-4CH-KP1 Control Mode The LC-18-4CH-KP1 lighting controller can be controlled using either the display panel or external control (RS232/USB/TCPIP), but both controls cannot be used at the same time. The LED labeled “EXT” is an indicator of which control is in use: 1) LED turned on –... -
