Title: Do we have instructions for 240V yet?
Post by: battle79 on December 22, 2012, 05:56:12 pm

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has had sucess using these on 240V / 50Hz as yet?

Would love to use some of thes in the remote corners of my yard.

Regards,
Rowan

Sorry, should be more specific with my questions.

Do we have instructions for what needs to be modified for these to work on 240V with DMX, Transformer and resistors is obvious, anything else that i'm missing?

Cheers,
Rowan

120/240V has nothing to do with DMX.

DMX uses RS-485 protocol to just send data from you computer to your controllers over a Cat5/6 cable and that is it.

120/240 Vac or 5-48Vdc just supplies power to the controllers and power for your lights.

The Wiki manual for each device will show how to configure the power input if that option is available.

Ok, I said this two days ago.
There is an alternate firmware for the LE and ssr4 for 50 Hz operation.
The120/240 addressed above.

Good to hear that the firmware has been finished.

Now if someone needed a copy of it where would I look??

Looked through the equipment wiki and it only has the standard firmware. Looked through all the recent threads and lots of people asking about it but no links to it.

Any part no. for 240V transformers that are compatable with the footprint on the PBC, or do I just grab whatever and solder some jumpers?

rm357 - apologies - totally forgot I posted in the express section and tacked on the question about the SSR4 in there. Will send RJ a PM and see what we can get going. Cheers,

As to the transformer, any info would still be great.

Cheers,
rowan

There is no firmware change needed for the express. The SSR is a 60hz 120v device no firmware for other.
