Irreparable damage to the device
Wrong wiring can cause irreparable damage to the device due to a short circuit.
  • Refer to the specifications of every port of the XLC4 control unit.

  1. Connect port X4 to a power supply.

  2. Depending on your configuration, connect the ports X8, X9, X10 and X11 to the Corona II modules.
    Always start connecting with channel A. Plug the connector with the I2C-Interface (6 wires) to the first connector associated with the Corona II module. The sequence of the other connectors is not relevant.

  3. Connect either port X1, X2, X3 or port X7 to the PC.

NOTE - shielding

Connect the shielding of all cables to ground. In EMC contaminated environments, this might prevent problems with the I2C communication using long cables.

Refer to the following example:

Connect a D50 Corona II module

Requirements

  • XLC4 control unit XLC4-1 Firmware release 4.24 or higher

  • XLC4 Commander 5.1 or higher

Cabling

The D50 (LED color ID 7, 10) is equipped with 3 or 4 different LED types. Each LED type is supplied by one LED output channel of the XLC4 control unit.

  • Connect the ports X8, X9, X10 and X11 for color ID 7 as shown in the picture:

  • Connect the ports X8, X9, X10 and X11 for color ID 10 as shown in the picture:

NOTE

If you use a D50 Corona II module with XLC4-1D50, the firmware is 4.24 or higher and the connector of the Corona II module are coded to ensure correct connector assignment.

Connect a cooling device to the XLC4 control unit

noticeNOTICE
Damage to the LED module

The operation of high power LEDs requires a thermal management for the LED module. Less cooling might result in damage to the LED module.

  • Use suitable heatsinks for your application

Cooling without monitoring

  • Connect the plug of the cooling to the interface X5 of the XLC4 control unit as shown.
    Pin 4 VOUT and Pin 2 GND

Cooling with monitoring

  • Connect the plug of the cooling to the interface X5 of the XLC4 control unit as shown.

If the measured temperature is higher than the limit for switching on, the input voltage is switched to VOUT.
