Basler Light Controller 4C-1.25A-
84W-24V#
The Basler Light Controller 4C-1.25A-84W-24V allows you to use any
Light
as well as any other light device in your environment.
If you directly connect the lights to the controller, you can specify the output current supplied
to the light which in turn controls the brightness. Alternatively, you can use a camera as an
external trigger source allowing you to turn the light on or off.

  • Page 11 The overdrive limit defines the maximum current the controller may supply in overdrive mode, which allows brightness levels above 100 %. Basler recommends using overdrive in strobe mode only, where you must also define the duty cycle. Check the documentation of your light to find out about its maximum allowed overdrive and duty cycle.
  • Page 12 NOTICE – Currents outside of the specified output current range may damage the LEDs of the light. You must supply the light with the correct output current, overdrive, and duty cycle as provided in the documentation of your light. If you don't adhere to these values in the configuration of your controller, the LEDs of your light might be damaged.
