General Description
The MF802 is an Eight channel single-phase AC lighting controller (Cross-
Fader/Lighting animation) capable of producing slow level changes( Color Mixing ) as
well as Quick ON/ OFF ( Animation)
A functional block diagram of the MF802 is shown in Figure 1. MF802 contains the
equivalent of 2 sets of four solid-state relays (SSR) 8 dimmers, with two power line
feed. Each dimmer is rated at a maximum output current of 2.5 Amperes. The SSR
dimmers are controlled by low-voltage DC signals from the logic circuit on the board.
These signals are electrically-isolated by Optical couplers from all line voltage
elements. The MF802 logic board contains a powerful microprocessor programmed to
generate 16 user-selectable light sequences or patterns at an adjustable rate (the
MF802 is also available with a “SPELLER” pattern or custom patterns upon request). A
rotary selector is used to select the pattern and a second one is used to set the rate or
speed. Patterns and speed can be monitored by Eight LED's that represent the outputs
of the MF802. The MF802-120 and MF802-220 Require Logic power from an
external step down transformer with output rates at 300mA 8 VAC to 12 VAC

Controls
The controls consist of two rotary 16-position (0-9 and A-F) selectors. S2 (PATTERN)
is used for selecting the desired Fade pattern. Positions 0 will scroll threw the patterns
automatically to provide an ever changing light show. The MF802 outputs can be
turned to static ON by selecting F. When 0 is selected, the MF802 goes into an
automatic pattern change mode. All other positions cause the MF802 to play a single
pattern indefinitely. S1 is used to select one of 16 individual Fade rates (Rate).
Minimum speed is achieved by selecting position 0. Speed doubles with each
subsequent selector position.
