RTCC LEDlighting controllers - User Manual

1 Getting started

This user manual describes the setting up and operation of the RTCC

range of LED lighting controllers.

The RTCC range differs from the RTxxx lighting controller range in that it is

has digital outputs which can be used to control the timing of other

components in your machine vision system.

Read Section Safety (or Section 3, Sicherheit, or Section 4, Sécurité) and

Section 13.1, Specification, and check the RTCC controller fulfils your

requirements.

Mount the RTCC as described in Section 5, Mounting the RTCC and

connect the RTCC up to a power supply as described in Section 6,

Connections.

Read Section 8, Lighting setup. the current or voltage rating of the lights

and then connect the lights. Set up the RTCC for the desired operation as

described in the configuration sections; Section 11, Webpage

configuration (RTCC420), and Section 12, Command configuration.

Visit www.gardasoft.com for application notes on this product. There is

also a Support page which has information on troubleshooting problems.

1.1 Summary of features

RTCC LEDlighting controllers - User Manual

2 Safety

Read this before using the RTCC. Always observe the following safety

precautions. If in doubt, contact Gardasoft Vision Ltd. The following

symbols are used in this guide:

Warning: Read the instructions to understand the

possible hazards.

Warning: Surface may get hot.

Warning: Possible hazardous voltage.

Where these symbols appear in the manual, refer to the text for the

precautions to be taken.

2.1 Heat

Ensure the RTCC is mounted correctly (see Section 5, Mounting the

RTCC), and that you do not exceed any of the ratings for the unit (see

Section 1.1, Specifications and ratings)

At its maximum ratings, the RTCC’s enclosure can exceed 65°C which is

sufficient to cause a burn if touched. Place in a position where personnel

cannot accidentally touch it and ensure there is a free flow of air around

the unit.

2.2 Electrical

The RTCC produces high energy pulses. Take care to connect the outputs

correctly and protect the output wiring and load from any short-circuits.

When switched off, energy remains stored in the RTCC for about 15

seconds.

The RTCC does not have complete electrical isolation of inputs (including

triggering and communications ports) and outputs, therefore, please

observe the following guidance:

Computer equipment that is connected to the communication or trigger

ports must be internally powered or separated from mains electricity by

double insulation/reinforced isolation or be approved to IEC 60950-1

standard. All other equipment connected to the triggers or other ports

must also have double insulation/reinforced isolation protection from the

mains supply.

The Power Supply Unit (PSU) used to energise the RTCC must provide

double insulation/reinforced isolation from mains electricity and protected

against short circuits and overloads. We recommend using a PSU that

—7—

RTCC LEDlighting controllers - User Manual

limits its output current to the appropriate rating of the controller by

design, by setting the current limit on the supply (if possible), or through

over current protection. The PSU should be approved to either IEC

60950-1, IEC 60335-1, IEC 61010-1, IEC61558-1,-2,-16. The PSU may

also be approved to equivalent or superior safety standards.

Any energised conductors derived from mains electricity must also have

Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) output. Refer to Section 13, Reference

information for allowable voltage limits.

At maximum ratings the temperature of the enclosure can exceed 65°C.

Therefore, either all cabling must be rated to at least 100°C, or all cabling

must be additionally insulated by an appropriately rated heat resistant

sleeve or prevented from touching the metal enclosure of the controller, or

its heatsink where fitted.

Power supply cabling to the controller must be rated to at least 5A.

The cabling from the channel output to the load must be rated higher than

the maximum channel output current.

If the controller is set up incorrectly, or in the event of failure, the energy

provided by the power supply to the controller may become directly

connected to any or all output channels. You must consider this during

installation, and if necessary, provide adequate protection.

The DC power supply to controller must be externally fused to 5A using a

slow blow fuse (T5AH, 50V).

The installer must provide a clearly marked, nearby and easily accessible

switch as part of the installation to allow the controller to be disconnected

from its energy source on both power conductors.

Transients caused by inductive loads must be suppressed externally to

the RTCC.

Warning: This is a Class A product. Its use in residential areas may cause

radio interference, and such use should be avoided unless special

measures are taken by the user to restrict emissions to a level that allows

the reception of broadcast transmissions.

2.3 General

The RTCC must not be used in an application where its failure could be a

danger to personal health or damage to other equipment.

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,

the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

2.4 Installation guidance (disclaimer)

This information is for guidance only. Installers must perform their own risk

assessment specific to each installation. While Gardasoft Vision Ltd has

taken every care in the preparation of this advice, Gardasoft Vision Ltd

accept no liability for damages of any kind except those required by law.

3 Sicherheit

Bitte lesen Sie vor Verwendung des RTCC diese Informationen. Beachten

Sie immer die folgenden Sicherheitshinweise. Wenden Sie sich im

Zweifelsfall an Ihren Händler oder Gardasoft Vision. Die folgenden

Symbole haben die folgende Bedeutung:

Warnung: Lesen Sie die Hinweise, um eine mögliche

Gefahr zu verstehen.

Warnung: Oberfläche kann heiß werden.

Warnung:Mögliche gefährliche Spannung.

Wenn diese Symbole in der Anleitung auftauchen, enthält der Text

Hinweise zu den zu ergreifenden Vorsichtsmaßnahmen.

3.1 Wärme

Stellen Sie sicher, dass der RTCC korrekt montiert ist (siehe Section 5,

Mounting the RTCC) und dass Sie die Grenzwerte für das Gerät nicht

überschreiten (siehe Section 13, Reference information).

Bei den maximalen Grenzwerten kann das Gehäuse des RTCC 65°C

überschreiten, was ausreichend ist um bei einer Berührung zu

Verbrennungen zu führen. Positionieren Sie das Gerät so, dass eine

versehentliche Berührung durch das Personal ausgeschlossen ist und

stellen Sie sicher, dass Luft frei um das Gerät zirkulieren kann.

3.2 Elektrik

Das RTCC erzeugt Impulse mit hoher Energie. Achten Sie darauf, die

Ausgänge korrekt anzuschließen und schützen Sie die

Ausgangsverkabelung und Last gegen Kurzschlüsse. Beim Ausschalten

bleibt Energie für etwa 15 Sekunden im RTCC gespeichert.

Das RTCC verfügt über keine vollständige elektrische Trennung der

Eingänge (einschließlich Trigger- und Kommunikationsports) und

Ausgänge. Beachten Sie daher unbedingt die folgenden Hinweise:

Computergeräte, die an die Kommunikations- oder Trigger-Ports

angeschlossen sind, müssen über eine interne Stromversorgung verfügen

oder vom Stromnetz durch eine doppelte Isolierung/verstärkte Isolierung

getrennt sein oder nach dem Standard IEC 60950-1 zugelassen sein. Alle

anderen Geräte, die an die Trigger- oder andere Ports angeschlossen

sind, müssen ebenfalls durch eine doppelte Isolierung/verstärkte

Isolierung vom Stromnetz getrennt sein.
