Description

The infrared light module LM-IR-16-4 is an expansion module for the modules

SFR-1, USM-RC-2, USM-RC-3 and UFR-1230.

The light module can be used to control lights, servos and motors on a (truck) trailer

or semitrailer. The signals are transmitted wirelessly via an infrared diode.

Connecting cables from the towing vehicle to the trailer are therefore not necessary.

A separate battery is required in the trailer or semitrailer for the supply voltage of the

light module.

The LM-IR-16-4 has 16 switching outputs for connecting the lighting (e.g. lamps and

LEDs). The light signals are passed on from the main module to the light module.

For the switching outputs 13 - 16, special functions such as a 1- and 4-channel all-

round light, a 4-channel running light and different flashing effects can be selected. A

detailed assignment of the switching outputs in combination with the various modules

can be found on page Fehler! Textmarke nicht definiert..

A motor output can be used for direct control of e.g. trailer supports, ramps or tipping

movements. An optional switch for controlling the motor output manually can be

connected to the module as well.

There are also 4 servo outputs to control (servo) movements. Applications for this

are e.g. trailer supports, the locking and unlocking of a seat post, steerable axles, or

tipping movements. Speed controllers can be connected to the servo outputs to

control additional motors.

When delivered, the light module is ready for operation with the standard settings.

With the LM-Teacher software, many settings can be adjusted and additional options

can be selected. For this purpose, the light module is connected to a Windows PC

with the data cable K-USB-2.

In order to be able to control the LM-IR-16-4 via the SFR-1, USM-RC-2 or USM-RC-

3, the light module must be activated in the sound teachers of the main modules. For

this, at least version V1.30 of the SFR-1 Sound-Teacher and version V1.80 of the

USM-RC-2 Sound-Teacher are required. Version V1.30 of the Drive-Teacher is

required for the UFR-1230.

All wiring work must be conducted while power supply is turned off!

Supply voltage connection

The LM-IR-16-4 requires a DC voltage of 6 - 12 V (e.g. a battery) for supply voltage.

This is connected to terminal X1. Please pay attention to the correct polarity!

Reverse polarity can destroy the module!

The cable cross-section for the supply voltage should be as large as possible (0.75

mm² - 1.5 mm²).

In addition, a switch for switching off the light module and a fuse with 4 A should also

be installed in the supply line (positive line).

Connection of IR transmitter diode and IR receiver

IR transmission:

The prerequisite for the function of the light module LM-IR-16-4 is a sound speed

controller SFR-1, a sound module USM-RC-2/USM-RC-3 or a speed controller UFR-

1230! Operation with other sound modules / speed controller is not possible.

With the modules USM-RC-2, USM-RC-3 and SFR-1, you can choose between two

different IR protocols (slow and fast). With the UFR-1230 there is only 1 protocol and

this is activated automatically.

GB Infrared Light Module LM-IR-16-4

The distance between the IR transmitter diode and the IR receiver should not be

larger than 10 cm to ensure reliable transmission.

If the IR transmission works correctly, the green LED on the light module flashes fast

at regular intervals. If the light module does not receive any IR signals for more than

2 s, all outputs are switched off, the motor is stopped and the servos move

(depending on the setting) to the neutral position.

Connection of IR transmitter diode:

The supplied IR transmitter diode (blue, round) is supplied with a soldered cable with

a 3-pin plug.

With the SFR-1 sound speed controller, the black plug is plugged into the pin header

X5/I. The brown cable points outwards, towards the edge of the board.

With the USM-RC-2 sound module, the black plug is plugged to X9. The brown cable

points to the SD card, the orange cable in the direction of the gray terminal strip X1.

With the USM-RC-3 sound module, the black plug is plugged to X10. The brown

cable points outwards, towards the edge of the board.

With the UFR-1230 speed controller, the black plug is plugged to X6/2, the brown

cable points outwards to the edge of the board.

Connection of IR receiver:

The IR receiver (black, rectangular) is supplied with a soldered cable with a 3-pin

plug. The black plug is plugged into the pin strip X5/5 on the light module. The

orange cable points upwards.

The sensitive side of the receiver is the semicircular dome. So the

IR transmitter diode should point to it.

For easy and stable mounting of the IR receiver, we offer the KB-

IR-T king pin for Tamiya trucks with a special bracket in which the

receiver can be clamped. For the transmission of the infrared

signal, the king bolt has a continuous hole.

Connection of outputs

The outputs 1 - 16 of the module are on the socket headers X3 and X4.

The ribbon cable supplied can be used to connect the outputs. For a simple

connection (without soldering) the connection terminals AKL-8 and AKL-8-W can

also be ordered from us in our shop.

Of course, other cables/plugs can also be connected to pin strips X3 and X4. A cable

cross-section of 0.14 mm² - 0.5 mm² should be used for the switching outputs.

The light module always switches the negative pole to the connected load for all

outputs. The negative pole of the load is connected to the output of the light module

(see connection diagram).

The common positive pole for outputs 1 - 8 and 9 -16 are the black and white cables

of the ribbon cable. It is also possible to connect the load directly to the positive

terminal of the battery.

The switched voltage at the outputs (at 100 % brightness) is always as high as the

supply voltage of the module.

If LEDs are connected, series resistors must always be used. It does not matter

whether the series resistors are connected to the plus or minus line. The correct

polarity is important for LEDs, otherwise they do not light up.

The required series resistors for the LEDs depend on the LED colors and the LED

current. For orientation, here is a table with series resistors for standard LEDs

(current approx. 15 mA) as a rough guide:

Supply voltage

Series resistor

6 V

270 Ohm

7,2 V

330 Ohm

8,4 V

470 Ohm

9,6 V

510 Ohm

12 V

680 Ohm

There are also LED series resistor calculators on the Internet (e.g.

www.leds.de/widerstandsrechner) with which the ideal resistance can be calculated

quickly and easily.

If relays or other inductive loads (e.g. motors) are connected to the switching

outputs, free-wheeling diodes (e.g. 1N4007) must be used.

Connection of servos

4 servos or speed controllers as well as other modules that are intended for direct

connection to a receiver (e.g. relay modules, rotating beacons, etc.) can be

connected to the pin headers X5/1 - X5/4.

The orange cable points upwards.

If a speed controller is connected that has a BEC, the red wire must be removed

from the servo plug and isolated! This is necessary because the LM-IR-16-4 has its

own BEC, which is connected to the connections of the servo outputs.

The current consumption of all connected servos / modules at X5/1 - X5/4 must not

exceed 1 A (short time 4 A)! Otherwise an external BEC is necessary.

Connection of motor

A motor for e.g. trailer supports, ramps or tipping functions can be connected to

terminal X2. It is important that the current consumption of the motor does not

exceed 2 A (short time 3 A).

Connection of switch for manual motor control

An optional switch LM-SW can be connected to pin strip X5/6,

with which the motor can be controlled manually. For example,

the trailer supports can be moved without remote control. The

speed of the motor in manual mode is set in the LM-Teacher.

Connection of data cable K-USB-2

The data cable K-USB-2 is connected to the pin header X5/7. The orange cable

points upwards.

The light module is not supplied with voltage via the data cable. If the data cable is to

be used, the LM-IR-16-4 must be supplied with voltage via the battery (as normal).

The data cable is used to transfer and read out the settings of the light module. The

diagnosis can be used to check functions and search for errors. The data cable is

also required for a firmware update.

Road train

An IR transmitter diode can also be connected to pin header X5/7, which then

forwards the received IR signal 1: 1 to another light module. In this way, a road train

can be implemented with several trailers.

Simultaneous operation of the data cable and the IR transmitter diode at X5/7 is not

possible! However, it can be plugged between the data cable and the IR transmitter

diode at any time.

All light modules of the road train always receive the same light signals for the 16

switching outputs. The signals for the 4 servo outputs and the motor output are also

initially identical for all light modules. Using the functions “LM: Activate road train ID

1” - “LM: Activate road train ID 7” on the towing vehicle, however, the servo outputs

and the motor output can be controlled very specifically with just one light module.

The road train ID can be set in the LM-Teacher (see page 17)

If, for example, the "LM: Activate road train ID 2" function is switched on via the

towing vehicle, the commands for the servo outputs and the motor output only affect

the light module that has ID 2. With all other light modules, the servo outputs and

motor outputs remain in the last state.

If no ID is selected on the towing vehicle, the commands for the servos and the

motor output are always carried out by all light modules. This is always the initial

state after switching on.
