Product information "BLS-Series Manual & Trigger Mode LED Controllers"
1, 2 Channels; 9-48 VDC; 1-18 A; Interface 0-5 V Analog; Max. Modulation Frequency 3-100 kHz; Current Accuracy ±3%
Mightex’s BLS-Series LED controllers are designed for driving Mightex LED light sources, including Type-H super high power LED light sources (BLS-13000 and BLS-18000 models). All BLS-Series LED controllers have two operation modes:
- Manual Mode: the user can control the output current by manually turning a knob
- Trigger Mode: the output current can be controlled via an external analog input signal between 0 V and 5 V
The control mode is selected with a slide switch on the front panel, and the factory default is “manual” mode.
High-speed, two-channel models BLS-1000-2 and BLS-3000-2 feature a high modulation speed of up to 100 kHz for BLS-1000-2 and up to 50 kHz for BLS-300-2. High-current, single-channel models BLS-13000 and BLS-18000 feature maximum output driving currents of 13,000 mA (BLS-13000) and 18,000 mA (BLS-18000) with a modulation speed of 3 kHz.
BLS-1000-2 and BLS-3000-2 provide DIP switches for maximum current selection on the rear panel, which allow the user to set the maximum output current of the channel to 500/750/1,000 mA for BLS-1000-2, and 1,000/2,000/3,000 mA for BLS-3000-2, respectively. The factory default is set to 500 mA for BLS-1000-2 and 1,000 mA for BLS-3000-2, respectively.
When the LED controller is set to “trigger” mode, the output current is fully controlled by the input analog signal (0-5 V).
