Panel, Indicators and Terminals
This page helps you recognize the front controls, lights and all connections available on SOL-LED+.
The images are specific to the SOL-LED+ model. Connections must only be made with the device turned off and with the power disconnected.
General view​
The following image shows the complete front panel, with displays, buttons, indicators of the two rooms and terminals arranged in the same order as the product.
SOL-LED+ can manage two separate programs, indicated as room 1 and room 2. The LEDs next to the room symbols indicate which room is displayed at that moment.
Front controls​
| Command | Function |
|---|---|
Menu | enter the menu and move to the next item |
OK | confirms the displayed value and saves the change |
| up/down arrow | increases or decreases values ​​and options |
| left/right arrow | move the editable field or change the displayed room |
N.I. | activates and manages the night inspection |
Front lights​
| Spy | Meaning for the user |
|---|---|
home 1 | the screen and controls refer to room 1 |
home 2 | the screen and controls refer to room 2 |
spy N.I. | signals that night inspection is active |
In Room use -> 1 room mode, the outputs of room 2 follow the program of room 1. This mode allows you to distribute the lighting of the same room on two groups of LEDs.
Terminal summary​
The table summarizes the terminals from left to right. The acronyms printed on the product remain identical in all languages; instead, the headings and explanations change, to make consultation clear even on the translated manual.
| Terminal | Pins | Function | Current |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPT-OUT | N.I. | remote night-inspection button input, in parallel with the N.I. panel button | — |
| OPT-OUT | S1 | room 1 brightness sensor input | — |
| OPT-OUT | S2 | room 2 brightness sensor input | — |
| OPT-OUT | GND. | common reference for the N.I., S1 and S2 signals | — |
| IN-POWER | + - | controller supply, regulated 12 VDC or 24 VDC | total of all outputs |
| OUT-SG-1 | + B C - | 4-wire SG PRO LED bars, room 1 program | max. 2.5 A |
| OUT-SG-2 | + B C - | 4-wire SG PRO LED bars, room 2 program | max. 2.5 A |
| OUT-1 | + - | commercial 2-wire LED bars or strips, room 1 | max. 2.5 A |
| OUT-2 | + - | commercial 2-wire LED bars or strips, room 2 | max. 2.5 A |
| K-1 | + - | relay-coil control at the PWM threshold, room 1 program | max. 100 mA |
| K-2 | + - | relay-coil control at the PWM threshold, room 2 program | max. 100 mA |
Power supply 12-24 V DC​
SOL-LED+ does not connect directly to the mains. The 230 V AC network powers an external stabilized power supply; only the 12-24 V DC output of the power supply needs to reach IN-POWER.
| Clamp | Function |
|---|---|
+ | positive power supply 12-24 V DC |
- | negative power supply |
The power supply must be stabilized and sized on the sum of the current absorbed by all the outputs used. For large systems it is advisable to work on 24 V with 24 V LED bars: with the same current it is possible to power a greater quantity of bars.
4-wire Season Generator PRO outputs​
OUT-SG-1 follows the program of stanza 1; OUT-SG-2 follows the room 2 program. These outputs are dedicated to the 4-wire Season Generator PRO rods.
| Clamp | Conductor Color | Function | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
+ | red | positive LED bar power supply | 2,5 A max |
B | blue | blue LED channel / night light | 100 mA max |
C | white | main PWM reference | 10 mA max |
- | black | common negative / GND | 2,5 A max |
The bars connect one after the other with the in-out system. The arrangement is a chain from a mechanical point of view, but all the bars of the same channel remain electrically in parallel. Total absorption must not exceed 2,5 A per output.
2-Wire Commercial LED Outputs​
OUT-1 follows the program of stanza 1; The OUT-2 follows the room 2 program. These outputs power two-wire 12-24 V DC commercial LED bars or strips.
| Clamp | Typical Conductor Color | Function | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
+ | red | positive LED bar power supply | 2,5 A max |
- | black | common negative | 2,5 A max |
Also in this case the bars can be connected in-out, as long as they remain electrically in parallel. Do not connect external drivers, 230 V lamps, or inductive loads to the LED outputs.
Difference between 2 and 4 wire bars​
The two-wire rod receives positive and negative directly. The Season Generator PRO bar instead contains a driver and receives power, command for the blue LED, main PWM reference and ground.
Do not interchange the two types of output: the Season Generator PRO bars must be connected to OUT-SG, while the two-wire commercial bars must be connected to OUT.
Optional accessories OPT-OUT​
The OPT-OUT clamp brings together the remote night inspection button and the two brightness sensors.
N.I.: remote button in parallel to the button on the panel;S1: room brightness sensor 1;S2: room brightness sensor 2;GND: common of the three signals.
The button must be a simple dry contact. Use only compatible sensors and do not apply external voltages to the N.I., S1, S2 or GND.
Releases K-1 and K-2​
The K-1 and K-2 outputs exclusively control low direct voltage relay coils. They are not power contacts and must not directly power neon lights, lamps or the mains.
The voltage follows that of IN-POWER: with power supply to 12 V DC a coil is needed at 12 V DC; with power supply to 24 V DC you need a coil to 24 V DC. Maximum current is 100 mA per output.
The complete connection diagram is shown in the Relay chapter.
