PRAECLARUS
Using a very fine support cable System Praeclarus can create curved patterns of light floating in space
The support cables can be arranged in parallel or as an XY mesh
LEDs secure the cable crossing obtaining an
electrical connection and holding the junction
in place facilitating the creation of 3D curved formations
Up to 170 Praeclarus LED units can be fitted on a single cable
In XY mesh configurations the cables in one
axis are all connected to ground
A given power unit will supply a number of cables running along the other axis

Power unit
RM200 and RM500 power units provide the DC supply and combined power and data to control lamps or LED units
The power units accept DMX data converting this to the special combined power and data format
Power units have DMX record capability for standalone operation
They can also be programmed using Glasson Electronics' show creation software
As with all Glasson Electronics products, power units are designed and manufactured in-house
• Protected from lamp wiring faults
• DMX data input
• DMX record/playback facility
• Universal 90/264VAC input
• Power consumption 260W (RM200) 600W (RM500) max
• Comprehensive self diagnostic system
• 100M max festoon cable length
• Size 246 x 200 x 75mm (RM200) 230 x 300 x 75mm (RM500)
• Weight 2.4Kg (RM200) 3.2Kg (RM500)
• 40C maximum operating temperature
Handheld programmer
A commissioning and maintenance tool, the hand programmer facilitates quick programming of an LED / Lamp holder units address
For DFS1000 and 3000 the LED unit is briefly attached to the hand programmer to set the address
For DFS200 the lamp holder is temporarily inserted into the lamp socket in place of the lamp
For Orbis, Praeclarus and DFS4000 a different version programs the LED unit address using a short range infra red link
The hand programmer can also read an LED units address and invoke an LED test
Programming typically takes 4 seconds
