EL Escudo Dos Cold Light Driver Expansion Boards Shield for Arduino

1. Features Eight opto-isolated, zero-crossing control channels No library needed - control is as easy as turning a LED on and off Shield is compatible with 5V or 3.3V Integrated 1.5A linear regulator (LM317) to supply regulated DC power to external inverter Linear regulator preset to 3.3V, but can be changed via PTH resistors, or bypassed entirely External inverter required, not included 2.Specification Parameter AC input : 220V AC max input : 600V Max current: 20A Linear regulator output range: 1.2V--37V Linear regulator output current: 1.5A 3.Instruction designed by ICStation which can controlling up to eight strands of electroluminescent wire. EL wire is flexible plastic cord that glows brightly when high-voltage AC is applied to it. It’s available in numerous colors, runs cool, and requires very little current, but can be difficult to work with because of the high-voltage requirements. The El Escudo Dos contains circuitry to safely switch high-voltage AC on and off, allowing you to create animated displays or whatever else your imagination can come up with. The main chip is LM317, MOC3063 and Z0103MN. LM317 is used to provide the required external DC power with inverter. MOC3063 is to provide the full isolation of the photoelectric #39;s zero-crossing. Z0103MN is to drive the lights glowing, as Z0103MN can only goes through AC. connect to the external power: 1. external AC to the AC FROM INVERTER port 2. the board to the external 12V DC power supply. Then the board can provide the expansion board with DC. Connect INVERTER between the DC TO INVERTER port on the expansion board and AC FROM INVERTER port, and the INVERTER output AC to power for the expansion board. It #39;s very simple to connect the light strands that you only need to connect the A - H port of the light strands. 4.Tips Because that the expansion board controlled by AC, please do not plug the connector the power switch when the power is ON, or touch the metal on the blank board.
