Description
If you've been looking for a way to intelligently control the brightness level of
120 VAC [incandescent] lamps, the FC-4+ is an excellent solution. Sophisticated
brightness and cross-fading commands are available using a simple controller like
the Prop-1. Small LEDs associated with each output indicate the relative brightness
for the channel, providing visual feedback even when the FC-4+ is separated from
the lamps it's controlling. Each lamp channel is capable of controlling up to
300W, for a total output load of 1200W for the board. And if you need more channels,
the FC-4+ can be daisy-chained for a total of 16 channels on the same control output
of your prop controller.
NEW ("Plus") Features
Simultaneous fades on all channels
Two TTL level digital inputs
DMX Mode
"Hackable" for custom applications
Mounting holes accommodate #6 size screws to keep this board affixed securely.
Large screw terminals accommodate up to #14 AWG wire. Always remember, voltages in
excess of 60 volts can be lethal. Use every precaution to ensure safety. If you are
unsure about what is safe and what might not be, just ask us. We are always happy to
help.
Note: Power supply is not included with
the FC-4+. We suggest our 12 VDC, 1 amp supply (see link below).
Technical Note
The ULN2803A output driver can interfere with serial communications between a prop controller
(Prop-1 or Prop-2/SX) and the FC-4+. EFX-TEK recommends that P7 (Prop-1) or P15 (Prop-2/SX)
is used for serial communications, and that the ULN2803A is replaced with a (7-channel)
ULN2003A to prevent interference.
