Mount the TR-RC120 (see Section 5, “Mounting the TR-RC120”) and connect it up as required (see Section 6, “Connecting the TR-RC120”). Set up the TR-RC120 for the desired operation as described in Section 10, “Configuration commands”, or Section 10.2, “Front panel commands”. -
Page 6: Safety Precautions
Heat Ensure the TR-RC120 is mounted correctly (see Section 5, “Mounting the TR-RC120”), and that you do not exceed any of the ratings for the unit (see Section 11.1, “Specifications and ratings”). At its maximum ratings, the TR-RC120’s enclosure can exceed 65°C which is sufficient to cause a burn if touched. -

Page 10: Environmental Considerations
Leave 25mm clear either side of the TR-RC120 to aid cooling. The TR-RC120 has an ingress rating of IP20 and it should be sited so that water or dirt cannot enter the unit. -
Page 11: Power
Power Any power supply derived from mains electricity must have a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) output. Route low voltage wiring to the TR-RC120 controller separately from mains electricity wiring. If this is not possible, make sure the low voltage wiring has an insulation rating that is appropriate or supplementary insulation is used. -
Page 12: Ethernet
Ethernet The RJ45 connector fitted to the TR-RC120 requires a straight-through cable to connect to a network switch, hub or router. The connection is 10Base-T and operates at 10MBits per second. -

Page 14: Triggering
Trigger pulses should have a minimum pulse width of 2μs. You can set the sense of the TR-RC120 trigger input. Do this by setting the P flag from the front panel (see Section 10.2, “Front panel commands”), the web page (see Section 9, “Web page configuration”) or the RE command (see Section... -
Page 15: Internal Trigger
“Triggering”). 7.2.2 Internal trigger You can set the TR-RC120 to generate its own trigger pulses. The period of these pulses can be set in increments of 100μs from approximately 10ms to 5000ms. You can set the RC1xx to produce a single pulse for testing purpose. This is set by either a TR1 command (see Section 10.3.3, “General commands”) -
Page 16: Safepower
SafePower Technology, available from www.gardasoft.com. Light characterisation You can reduce the time it takes for your TR-RC120 controller to reach high accuracy in time-critical machine vision systems when changing from one overdrive brightness setting to another. This can be done by instructing the controller to make current and voltage measurements up to a customer specified brightness limit when the light is characterised. -
Page 17: Flags
This flag cannot be used when the light is set according to its voltage rating. The S flag cannot be changed from the TR-RC120’s front panel. Fault detection The TR-RC120 can detect a range of errors when connected to a light. The displayed error codes are shown below with their reasons. Error Reason Internal power dissipation too high. -
Page 18: Ethernet Address
TR-RC120 LED Lighting Controllers - User Manual configuration by using the CL command (see Section 10.3.3, “General commands”). You can start the TR-RC120 from a powered down state (cold boot) with the front panel keypad locked; this process removes the keypad lock. Ethernet address You may need to ask your network administrator for advice about setting up the Ethernet connection. -
