©PowerSwitchTail.com, LLC, All rights reserved 16-Channel PWM Controller Board PN 9000, Global Version, Rev 1 (Nov 29, 2016: drawing corrected) Provides up to 16 PWM channels of phase control for 120/240vac incandescent/LED light string dimming and motor speed control. FEATURES: § Program with an Arduino UNO, Arduino Pro or other microcontroller. (Not included.) § Outputs connect directly to up to 16 PowerSSR Tails; one for each independently programmed channel. § Each channel provides 4095 steps of voltage control for smooth dim/bright transitions; no flicker. § True ac phase control; no ac-to-dc voltage conversion. § No exposed mains voltage. § One ZeroCross Tail or PSSR/ZC Tail required for zero-cross sync pulse. § Multiple Interface boards can be used to provide additional channels in 16 channel increments. § Also works with our 240vac kits in 50 hz locations. SPECIFICATIONS: § DC power requirements: 5vdc @ 50 ma max. Do not exceed 6.0 vdc. § Board size: 3.5" x 2.5" § Mounting: Four #6 screws on 2.0" x 3.0" grid. SETUP INSTRUCTIONS: § See drawing on reverse side for typical connections to an Arduino Uno. § Connect one ZeroCross Tail or one PSSR/ZC Tail as shown to generate the zero-crossing sync pulse. PSSR/ZC Tail also provides ac control channel. § Connect one or more PowerSSR Tails (to drive heavy loads) or non-zero crossing solid-state relays to each independent channel’s Outx terminals. The terminal polarity of J2 and J3 are different so please observe the notation on the board: “+ OUTx–“ for J2 and “- OUTx +” for J3 , where “x” is the channel number. § Connect (6 connections + power and ground) and program the Arduino. Download the sample sketch from our website. § Power the MCU through the USB interface or use an external power source plugged into the power connector. The PN 9000 draws power from the Arduino 5v pin. § IMPORTANT: You must use the Tlc5940 library modified by WoodardLabs.com when compiling your Arduino sketch.
