The CON1 is a control unit for all SOLAR STINGER® and SOLAR RAPTOR® products that are operated with a DRV power supply unit. Settings can be made directly via the display or via mini USB cable (not included) on the PC (Windows XP or newer operating system required). The required software can be found here. On and off times can be set, the light can be raised and lowered slowly or kept generally dimmed if it is too strong. Some products, such as the SOLAR STINGER® SunStrip III 35 FRESH, the SOLAR STINGER® SunStrip 70 MARINE or the SOLAR RAPTOR® SunStrip 35 REPTILE have RGB LEDs. This makes it possible, for example, to simulate sunrises and sunsets and adjust the color gradient accordingly or make other color changes if deemed necessary. At this point it should be mentioned once again that the light spectra of all SOLAR STINGER®/SOLAR RAPTOR® SunStrips are ideally designed for their area of application (plant and coral growth) and do not need to be optimized by changing the color settings! Therefore, all LEDs should be controlled in equal proportions. E.g. all color channels at 100 %, all at 80 % or all at 65 %. Once the desired light curve has been saved, it is displayed daily by the CON1 control unit. For the connection, the DRV power supply unit is connected to the input of the CON1. The output power (size) of the DRV must be selected according to the input power (wattage) of the connected products. It is important that the input power of the CON1 (1 watt) is included in the calculation. The three outputs of the CON1 are individually controllable and can be connected to any products up to a maximum total input power of 160 watts.
Example:
CON1 Output 1 – SunStrip FRESH III 35 750 mm / 26 W CON1 Output 2 – SunStrip FRESH 70 750 mm / 53 W CON1 Output 3 – SunStrip FRESH 70 750 mm / 53 W CON1 Input – DRV2 160 W =
> Input power = 26 W + 53 W + 53 W + 1 W = 133 W =
> Output power = 160 W With a DRV Y-Cable (not included), it is also possible to control several products synchronously via one output.
Software updates:
Software updates can be installed via the mini USB input. You can find the updates here.
