9. ts com EN IOCard USB DimControl Manual Master potentiometer for three channels This mode provides a change of output values with a single potentiometer for all channels The POTS LINK selector must be in position 3 and the master potentiometer on the POT connector In this way the full range of the master potentiometer will adapt to the useful zone set on each channel Card operations It should be noted some connotations of USB DimControl card lf you connect a heavy load on the outputs may be a drop in the supply voltage so that adequate feed must be taken into account The card is suitable for connecting LEDs and bulbs in series and parallel with their respective resistors if needed It is advisable to feed the outputs with the maximum withstand voltage for the LEDs and or bulbs to have a good resolution in the range of control Be very careful with the limits assigned to each channel and its outlets to avoid melting LED and or bulbs Remember that having the limits saved in the EPROM the values will not rise beyond them though the potentiometer do all the way This ends this manual we invite you to read the manuals of the others Opencockpits elements and explore the SIOC software We thank You for trusting us Links of interest Support zone for customers http www opencockpits com catalog info www opencockpits com 9
