Hi Guys
Just thought this was worth sharing, The ZPE drivers we supply, ie the 400watt for the MAU5-V111 kit as an example has a 3 wire output VDim+, VDim - and VAUX. The VAUX line is fundamentally an extra 12Volt output line.
APP1: This can be used to drive a 12Volt fan so could be used on say a Mechatronix ICEled 450 Active cooler, negating the need for a seperate fan driver if your building an active cooled system. Bear in mind the line only has 200ma drive so could drive 4 of the ICLED450 which are 50ma each.
NOTE: VAUX is an Active line so your need to tie the negative fan wire to the dim ground line
APP2: Another application possibility is the VAUX line could be used to driver a secondary led line, however it is CV so would need regulation. A nice option is to use a boost driver on the VAUX line like a Recom RBD-12 which from 12V can drive 40V worth of monos at 300 or 500m(model dependent), these can be seperately dimmed on the RDB secondary dim cables.
None of this affects your ability to still use the dim lines to dim the COBS, having said that we are still doing some testing but looks good
Cheers
