Stemmer Imaging has added the RT Series of lighting controllers from Gardasoft to its portfolio. The controllers use SafePower – a technology that adjusts the output voltage to the lighting system separately from the input voltage.
A key advantage of this technology is the ability to use an existing or standard power supply without needing to take special consideration of the voltage requirements of the LED and controller combination. Using master PSU 24V equipment in a cabinet reduces deployment and upfront costs. The technology also provides a reduction in power dissipation within the controller and subsequently any heat generated, allowing easier and simpler cabinet design. This technology is in addition to the excellent illumination/automation control provided by the Gardasoft range.
The first products to be based on SafePower technology are the 2 channel, 20A, RT200-20 (with an LCD display) and the RT220-20 (with an Ethernet interface and no LCD display). Variants that offer exposure time of less than 20µs, the RT200F-20 (with an LCD display) and the RT220F-20 (with an Ethernet interface and no LCD display), are also available.
The RT260-20 (with an RS232 interface and no LCD display) and the RT260F-20 for exposure times of less than 20µs are also available as upgrades to LFC612 and LFC612F models. These two 2-channel models also operate at up to 20A.
