PWMBrightnessControlandStrobeMode
DifferencesfromConventionalProducts
PWMMode
With the OPPF series, connecting a FALUX
sensing-compatible lighting device makes it possible
to communicate with it to read the LED brightness
and internal temperature of the device, in addition to
the power supply for the lighting.
The communication does not require any
dedicated cable. Communication signals are
superimposed on two wires connected to the
lighting device.
Any lighting device without FALUX sensing
capability may also be connected as before.
When the DIP SW4 (LAMP1) or DIP SW5 (LAMP2) is set ON, the equipment will work in the strobe mode.
Use the value setting dial to set the brightness value (0 - 999).
The strobe-lit time is specified by the setting Stb. (10 μs - 9.99 ms, at an increment of 10 μs)
In the 18 V-driven strobe mode, no synchronous input is accepted until the elapse of time equal to 10 times the lit
time, for the purpose of protecting the LED’s.
There is no such restriction for the case of driving with 12 V.
When the DIP SW1 is set ON, the lighting may be controlled by the external synchronous input.
In that case, since the lighting control signal and the PWM are mutually synchronized, there will be no variation in the
number of output pulses for all lighting-ups.
When the DIP SW1 is set OFF, it will flash at a period of the setting oSc. The restriction on the duty cycle works in the same way
as in the case of external triggering.
- In case the lit time is 1 ms (Stb setting of 100) or less, the lighting is driven with a high voltage of 18 V to illuminate
the LED’s at a three times higher brightness.
In that case, the maximum capacity of the lighting connectible to each lamp is 15 W.
- In case the lit time exceeds 1 ms (Stb setting of 100), the lighting is driven with a standard voltage of 12 V
In that case, the maximum capacity for connectible lighting equipment is a total of 30 W for 2 channels, which is the
same as in the PWM mode.
Where the DIP SW4 (LAMP1) or DIP SW5 (LAMP2) is set OFF, the system will work in the PWM mode.
Use the value setting dial to set the brightness value (0 - 999). The maximum capacity for connectible lighting
equipment is a total of 30 W for 2 channels.
While the DIP SW1 is set ON, the lighting may be controlled by the external
synchronous input.
In that case, the delay time from the rise of the trigger input to the actual
emission of light will vary as shown below depending on the tFL filter time
setting.
To drive the internal circuits of the lighting device, a voltage of approximately 6 V is applied while the lamp is unlit.
(LED will not illuminate with the 6 V voltages.)

MonitoringandFeedbackFunctions SettingProcedures
Overview
Operation Flowcharts
A FALUX sensing-compatible lighting device senses the
brightness of LED lighting with its built-in photo-diode. It
accurately measures the brightness not only in the case of
continuous lighting but also in any situation of less frequent
flashing.
If the monitored brightness exceeds 999, the last three
digits are displayed. For example, any monitored
brightness of 1000 - 1099 is shown as 000 - 099. If the
monitored brightness is 1100 or over, only the last three
digits are shown flashing.
The feedback function compares the measured brightness
with the reference brightness recorded in the lighting device
and fine-adjusts the output voltage to control the brightness
to match the reference value.
Furthermore, in addition to the brightness, the internal
temperature is measured in the lighting device and
monitored by the power supply unit.
Through RS232 communication, the monitored values may
be read.

(without feedback)
Usage (2)
Feedback Function
Notes about the Use of the Monitoring and
Feedback Functions
Set the setting Fb to oFF and bAL to the lower limit value (%)
of the monitored brightness for alarm release.
Example) To release an alarm output upon any brightness
decrease of 10%:
bAL = 90 (％)
If the cable for the lighting device is long, the actual
brightness will be reduced due to the component of direct
current impedance. Through the monitoring menu, check
the monitored brightness against the brightness control
value. Where the brightness control value and monitored
value are 500 and 450, respectively, for example, the
brightness is already decreased to 90% (= 450/500). If you
wish to
Release an alarm at a brightness further 10% lower than
that, set a value of 81% (= 90% x 90%) as the monitored
brightness lower limit value for alarm.
For the release of the alarms, FBERR1 or FBERR2 output
or ERR output of the master unit is used.
Forsettingeachsetting,seetheflowchartsshownbelow.
The monitoring and feedback functions may not work in the
following cases.
Shown below are operating conditions for the monitoring
and feedback.

The monitored brightness cannot reflect any smear of
the lens or diffuse plate of the lighting device.
If the brightness control value is less than 50, the
feedback function is automatically turned OFF.
Where the pulse width for the external synchronous
input is very small (about 2 μs or less), the lit time will
become extremely short and, therefore, the
communication with the lighting device will be broken.
If the cable to the lighting device is long and the
capacity of the device is large, the communication with
the device may be disabled. In that case, decrease the
PWM frequency to 50 or 20.
If the communication with the lighting device is unstable
due to noises, take anti-noise measures, such as
protecting the lighting device cable with shield cover
(shield gasket etc.)
Where the external synchronous input is used and the
lit time is short, it may take a long time for the feedback
actions to converge. The monitoring of the brightness
requires at least 8 flashing actions. In case of
continuous lighting, it requires 100 ms or more of lit
time.
Where the lighting device has been replaced, the
targeted level of brightness is not achieved immediately
after a significant change in the brightness control
value. Therefore, the restoring to its normal state is
accelerated by temporarily performing continuous
lighting (DSW1 = OFF).
The monitored brightness alarm action requires a
minimum of 24 flashes or 300 ms or more of lit time.
When the powering OFF is done after a minimum of
160 flashes or 2 seconds or more of lit time, a
feedback-compensated output voltage is saved in
memory. Upon the next powering ON, the device is lit in
the same state as before the powering OFF.
The period of updating the brightness by the
communication between the lighting device and power
supply unit is 21 ms. The period for the temperature is
105 ms.

Set the setting Fb to on. Set bAL to the lower limit value (%)
of the monitored brightness for alarm release (optional).
The output voltage will be adjusted to maintain the
reference brightness appropriate for the brightness control
value.
Gene rally, extend ing the lighting cable will actu ally
decrease the brightness of the lighting due to the decreased
voltage by the direct current component and also due to the
dull waveform attributable to the inductance component and
capacity component. If you actually extend the cable to
10-15 meters and use a lighting device of a relatively large
capacity, the brightness may sometimes decrease to a half
level or even lower. The feedback function will effectively
work to compensate for the voltage drop by the direct
current impedance.
Pressing the LAMP button in the monitoring mode makes it
possible to view the voltage compensation rate (%).
For example, if the voltage is compensated to 15 V, the
displayed value will be 15/12=125%. Shown below are
variation ranges.
PWM mode: 92 - 150%
Strobe mode: 89 - 122% (in case of 12 V output: 92 - 150%)

SettingProcedures
SettingtheBrightnessControlValues
Besides the dial-based setting, the methods of setting the
brightness control value include the use of external signal input.
The external signal input is selectable from the three methods of
parallel input, RS232 communication and analog input.
- Brightness control by dial → Operations for Each Mode on p6
- Brightness control by external parallel input → Inputs and
Outputs on p16
- Brightness control by RS232 communication → RS232
Communication on p18
- Brightness control by analog input → Inputs and Outputs on p16
ListofPRMSettingItems
A long press on the mode button on the operation panel causes the transition to the “PRM setting mode.”
* About the bank switching
- Bank numbers are common to the external parallel input and RS232 communication. The bank numbers are deleted upon
powering OFF.
- The bank numbers by the PRM setting are set separately from those for the parallel input and RS232 communication.
The bank numbers are retained despite any powering OFF.
With the brightness control values set in the banks in
advance, the value may be switched with less amount of input.
The registration of the values may be done on up to 16 banks.
The bank switching measure is selectable from three
methods, including PRM setting, external parallel input and
RS232.
