DRIVER DETAILS
INSTALLATION
RECOMMENDED DRIVER
Drivers that are supplied by Planet will
come pre-programmed with all parameters
optimised for LED Puck RGBW.
Planet Lighting recommends the following
driver for LED Puck RGBW:
eldoLED POWERdrive 561/A (or its upcoming
replacement: POWERdrive 50SA-M4Z0X).
Driver details:
– High quality ELV 4 channel DMX/RDM driver
(max output is 55VDC)
– Drives 1 to 15 RGBW Pucks, with
smoothed logarithmic dimming curves, and
programmable power scaling
– Enables full power for single colours
without the risk of over-running with multiple
colours. This allows the output to still drive at
full power however at reduced power if run
with other outputs. For example, assuming
500mA is the current you set the outputs
at, red at 100% run simultaneously with
green at 100% will give approximately red
at 250mA and green at 250mA (that is, total
current still 500mA).

continuously outside the rail as they will
overheat and may damage. Ensure test
duration is short.
NOTE! ONLY ONE colour channel at
a time should be tested. DO NOT test
all channels at once or it may lead to
overheat.
Check and test the system outside the rail
as follows:
3.1 Ensure all plugs are connected,
including the return cable and feed cable
are connected to the driver.
3.2 Apply power to the driver.
3.3 Check that ALL the LED Pucks are
responding to the DMX / RDM. Ensure to
test only one colour channel at a time, as
LEDs can overheat outside of the rail. (Red,
Green, Blue and White)
3.4 Disconnect power and go to next step.
