seveaye Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Has anyone done this ? Where does the 'earth lead connect to the driver board is one earth enough im only running two channels. Retro fitting a RSM with rapid led kit help!!! Link to comment
Horerczy Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 By earth I'm sure you mean ground. The pins below the signal pins are ground. They're all common so you only need one. It will contact to the same ground as the power supply. Picture of your board will help me explain. Link to comment
seveaye Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 K here we go. Thanks for helping BTW Link to comment
Horerczy Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Got a top down photo? If I'm looking correctly on the input side the green blocks are power in. Probably labeled V+ and V-. The green blocks are your pwm inputs labeled 1 2 3 and 4. Take the ground/earth wire and put it in the V- part of the tan block. Take the first channel and second channel ends and put them in the pwm post for the driver they will control. So one controller wire will have it's three ends divided between PWM 1 (Channel 1 or Channel 2 wire lead), PWM 2 (The other channel wire lead), and V- (ground wire lead). Presumably you have a second wire for the other two drivers that looks the same and the same rules apply just swap PWM 1 and PWM 2 for PWM 3 and PWM 4 respectively. The ground still goes to a V- and can even share the same terminal as they're common. Link to comment
seveaye Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 so, because i have a se-350-48 power supply, i don't have to route the power from the lights in the hood...? Now I have asked the answer seems simple. 'No you don't' or even 'yes you don't!' Link to comment
Horerczy Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I can't read all the words to understand. Another pic without the menu in the way please. Never mind I think I understand. You'll have the power supply out of the hood yes? If so then you need only route the DC outputs from the power supply to the drivers in assuming we'll be in the hood. If those are also external then just the drivers to the LEDs. Link to comment
seveaye Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Ive got this thing (see below) which is the only power i need right? I shouldn't have to re rout any power from the gutted hood? this what the pic should have looked like sorry i Have a bluefish controller, a ldd-4-h the, se-350-48 power supply running 27 LED( mixed) the royal blue on one string (channel), green red and uv on another.if that helps.

Horerczy Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Ah. Yes then. You do not need to route power as described in the image. Just run ac to that power supply and run its output to your driver board. Link to comment
seveaye Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Thanks for your help, now one final question before it goes into the hood.The SE-350 -48 has a voltage adjuster, I think because the 'mean well' is dual rated and Australia uses 240v It should be turned all the way up. Correct? Link to comment
seveaye Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 I have checked the volt switch is on 230 v not 110 btw. Link to comment
Horerczy Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yes the voltage switch should be set to 230 if you're using a 240v ac input. Link to comment
seveaye Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Thank you so much. Its in and looks awesome!! Link to comment
