INPUT REQUIREMENTS
Electrical Input Specifications:
Input specifications are defined in table 1 at the beginning of this
manual
CAUTION

RISK OF DAMAGE:
DO NOT connect input of power unit to a phase cut dimmer or
dimming panel. It will cause internal damage to the power unit
8.0 OUTPUT CHANNEL REQUIREMENTS
8.1
Electrical Output Specifications:
Output specifications are defined in table 2 at the beginning of this
manual. Actual output currents and maximum voltages are
dependant on the model configuration, see table 6, 8 or table 10 at
the beginning of this manual for configuration options.
8.2 Output Wiring Requirements

WARNING: All output channels are isolated from each other and
require a separate 2 wire twisted pair for each output LED load.
When connecting LED loads to output cables observe ‘+’ and ‘-‘
polarity connections to prevent damage to loads. To reduce risk of
fire or electric shock, do not interconnect output terminations.

A common anode or cathode wiring method for multiple LED loads
cannot be used for the TRINITY PC.

All output wires should be connected to their respective LED loads
before power up to prevent inadvertent shorting of outputs.
Shorting of outputs (+ve to –ve only) will result in a hiccup mode
of operation with automatic recovery after removal of a short.

Output Class 2 circuit wiring must comply with NEC Article 725
wiring methods or to CEC section 16-210 wiring methods.

Output cabling should be overall shielded cables with twisted pair
conductors (18 AWG ) to minimize cross talk between channels
and minimize Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). Consult your
local Electrical Safety Authority for acceptability in your end use
application.

With appropriate cabling, the TRINITY PC may be remote mounted
up to 150 feet (45 meters) from the LED loads.
Document: 66APPMAN-PC Rev: D

8.3 Output Voltage Dynamic Range
The Trinity PC has a dynamic voltage range options of 6 Vdc to 27 Vdc,
12Vdc to 40Vdc, or 12 Vdc to 47 Vdc depending on configuration as
referenced in table 6 at the beginning of this manual. This allows the Trinity
PC to accommodate a range in both the number of LEDs utilized in a string
as well as a variation in forward voltage drops. To determine the maximum
voltage requirement for any LED array configuration, the maximum voltage
drops of the LEDs and output cable/conductor voltage drops (when
remote mounting the LED load from the TRINITY PC) must be taken into
consideration.
8.4 Number of LED’s Per-Channel Calculation Example.
How may 700mA LED’s can I hook up to a Trinity PC model 66-12-0700DMX-PC? The fixture needs to be mounted 150’ away from the driver.
First thing we need to know is the voltage drop of the LED. From the LED
datasheet we find that the maximum voltage drop of 1 LED is 3.5V(VLED).
From Table 6 at the beginning of this manual the 66-12-0700-DMX-PC, the
maximum output voltage per channel is 27V(VMAX). Dividing the LED voltage
into the maximum rated available voltage gives us:
NumberLEDs  VMax  VLED
NumberLEDs  27V  3.5V
NumberLEDs  7.71
So a maximum of 7 of these LED’s can be driven off of one channel.
Now the voltage drop of the cable has to be taken into account. To do that
we need to know how much headroom (VHEADROOM) we have with the
number of LED’s and the maximum rating of the unit.
VHeadroom  VMax  (VLED  NumberLEDs)
VHeadroom  27V  3.5V  7
VHeadroom  2.5V
We have 2.5V of headroom with 7 of these LED connected. Now we need to
determine the voltage drop of the wiring. Using an online wire resistance
calculator (can be found at: www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm) we
enter a length of 150ft and a current (Amps) of 0.7 (700mA), giving us a
voltage drop of 1.38V over a pair of 18 AWG wire. Note that if other
calculators are used, we must be sure the voltage calculated is for a pair of
wires as there are 2 wires running to the LED (one positive wire, one
negative wire).
So for a 18AWG cable at 150 feet, the total voltage drop is 1.38V. This is
under our headroom limit, so 7 of these LED`s can be used per
channel with 18AWG wire.
This model Trinity PC has 12 channels (from table 6) so a total of 84 of these
LED`s can be driven by this Trinity PC.


Note 2: Pin 8 should be wired as signal common even if pins 3 and 4
are NOT wired so that both conductors 7 and 8 are at equal
potential

Note 3: TRINITY PC DMX utilizes pins 1,2 and 7 only

WARNING: Accidental Connection to non-DMX512 equipment likely
to be encountered (e.g., an Ethernet Hub at a patch bay) may
result in damage to equipment. Pins 4 and 5 may carry voltages
outside the EIA-485 range in telecom applications (e.g. telephone
ringing). Pins 4 and 7 may carry voltages outside the EIA-485 range
in other applications (e.g., some manufactures whose distributed
DMX512 buffering products require low voltage DC power may use
these wires for this purpose). Because of these various uses,
misplugging unlike systems could cause serious damage.

10.4 DMX Cabling

The DMX cable should meet EIA485 requirements. The characteristics
for this cable include low capacitance, twisted pair, shielded, and
designed for high speed data.

Twisted pair Ethernet cabling referred to as Category 5 cable may be
a cabling option upon successful evaluation in the end use application.

In the end use application, proper separation between control wiring
from the DMX interface and AC mains must be observed in
accordance with the applicable safety standards and/or NEC/CEC
requirements.

The maximum permissible cable length between DMX Controller
(transmitter) and last TRINITY PC is 1000 feet (300 meters). A DMX
splitter (preferably isolated) may be required to extend the cable
length.
10.5 DMX Termination Requirements

In the case of daisy chained TRINITY PC modules, only the last
module in the chain is terminated by means of a 120 ohm
+5%/-10% impedance inserted into the DMX connector.

10.6 DMX Addressing

The 3 position rotary switches sets the DMX address of the TRINITY
PC.

IMPORTANT: Each channel within the TRINITY PC requires a DMX
address. The rotary switch address identifies the Base Address (BA),
which is output channel ‘1’. Output channel 2 will be the next address
(BA+1) and so on up to output channel 12 (BA + 11).

The TRINITY PC will automatically detect a change in address in less
than 2 seconds. No recycling of the AC input is required to
implement a change in address location.

10.9 MULTI CHANNEL CONTROL MODES
 The Trinity PC is able to link certain output channels together so that
they will respond on the same DMX channel. This is useful for general
illumination applications, For example all the lighting in a room could
be connected to a single Trinity PC, and all lights can be dimmed by a
single DMX channel. See table below for mapping.

Analog Interface Specifications
The TRINITY PC ANALOG is compatible with commercial dimming panels
and wall box dimmer products meeting IEC 60929 requirements.
The TRINITY PC ANALOG has been tested with the following 0-10 Vdc
Analog wall box dimmer products:
·
·
HUNT PS LED series
LEVITON DECORA IP710_DL
Additional Analog 0-10 Vdc dimmer products may also be compatible with
the TRINITY PC ANALOG. Consult LumaStream for compatibility
11.4 Analog Interface Cabling and Connections
In the end use application, proper separation between the class 2 control
wiring from the analog 0-10 Vdc interface and AC mains must be
observed in accordance with the applicable safety standards and/or
NEC/CEC requirements.
The total run length of the 0-10Vdc control wiring (purple and grey) #18
AWG should not exceed 500 feet (150 meters). In situations where the
control wiring is greater than 500 feet or electrical noise is present,
shielded twisted pair cabling should be used.
