BLS-Series High-Current LED Drivers
 | BLS-Series High-Current LED Drivers with Manual & Analog-Input Controls and Tool-free Connectors
High Current, manual and analog-voltage controlled LED drivers for Goptica Type-H Super High Power LEDs:
BLS-13000-1E: Up to 13A current output and 3kHz modulation speed. One (1) channel. BLS-18000-1: Up to 18A current output and 3kHz modulation speed. One (1) channel. BLS-27000-1: Up to 27A current output and 3kHz modulation speed. One (1) channel. |
| Goptica BLS-13000-1E, BLS-18000-1 and BLS-27000-1 LED controllers are designed for driving Goptica Type-H Super High Power LED Sources. The controllers have two operation modes:
Manual Mode: the output current can be controlled by manually turning the knobs; or Trigger Mode: the output current can be controlled via an external analog input signal between 0-5V.
The control mode is selected with a slide switch on the front panel, and the factory default is “Manual” mode. BLS-13000-1E, BLS-18000-1 and BLS-27000-1 have a maximum current setting of 13,000mA, 18,000mA, and 27,000mA respectively.
When the controller is set to “Trigger” mode, the output current is fully controlled by the input analog signal (0-5V). |
