Features
ICELED MATRIX is a compact digital light source capable of emitting an extra wide
beam in an of over two million different colours. Full colour mixing is obtained using
second-generation integrated RGB LEDs which eliminate colour shadowing and make
the source suitable for direct viewing at a safe distance. MATRIX has been designed
to complement and integrate with other devices in the ICELED range of networked
lighting products and can be connected directl to controllers such as UFO, ZEN and
ZAP. It can also function in a useful stand-alone mode allowing it to be used with
nothing more than a 12 Volt suppl . This makes MATRIX a direct replacement for
neon and incandescent lighting in man applications – with the added advantage of
being able to produce almost an colour in the visible spectrum. As an additional
advantage monobloc construction makes MATRIX full waterproof and capable of
withstanding permanent immersion.
Feature summary
•Extra wide beam
•Two-million colours
•No colour shadowing
•Directl viewable
•Compatible with all ICELED controllers
•Full waterproof
Installation
MATRIX ma be attached to an flat surface using the adhesive pad on the back of
the unit. The surface must be clean and dr prior to application of the adhesive pad.
It is therefore advisable to de-grease the surface with Isoprop l Alcohol or similar to
obtain the best bond (making sure to observe proper usage instructions for the
cleaning agent used). Firm hand pressure must be applied for at least 30 seconds in
order to ensure proper adhesion. Maximum strength will be obtained after 12 hours.
Wiring to ICELED controller
A standard three-core cable connects the device to a power suppl and ICELED data
source.

If the light source
is to be connected to
an ICELED controller suppl ing both
power and data, then the colour coded
wires simpl connect to the
corresponding terminals labelled R, G
and B on the chosen output.

If the light source is to be us
ed
without an ICELED controller the
red wire must be connected via a
switch to a fused power supply
as shown to the left. The green
wire should connect to the negative
or chassis return for the batter .
Wiring for stand-alone use
In stand-alone mode the unused blue wire must be left unconnected. It is advisable
to tape over the end of the wire or cut it back flush with the outer cable sheath.
Stand-alone operation
If ICELED data is present when the device is powered-up it will produce the colours
commanded b the controller. If no data is present when the power is applied,
MATRIX will start running an internal programme designed to provide as much
functionalit as possible with onl the interruption of the suppl voltage as a control
s stem.
The built-in stand-alone programme runs through the four phases labelled A to D in
the following diagrams:

just b toggling the switch controlling power to the device. A single flash from the
LED's provides acknowledgment that the freeze command has been accepted.
Un-freezing The light source will remain frozen on the chosen colour until the next
time it is switched off. Once again, if the suppl is interrupted for less than a second,
the programme will resume from where it left off (acknowledged b two flashes) If
switched off for an longer, the programme will resume from the start the next time
it is powered up.

) On-board current regulation guarantees that the light source operates
consistentl at peak intensit over a wide suppl range of between 8 and 28 Volts.
Brief surges above this range can also be tolerated. Reverse polarit protection is
built in. Use in 24V electrical s stems ma be restricted to standalone mode as
ICELED controllers are currentl onl available for operation at 12V.

) UFO controllers produce Global ICELED data that complements the tube data.
