LATAB LED Control Units

Strobe Controller

The product features of the LATAB controllers are numerous: designs suitable for industrial use, adjustable light intensity, up to 4 channels, PC operation via Ethernet or other interfaces, as well as stand-alone solutions, either for continuous mode operation or strobe mode, with adjustable pulse durations from 50 µs to 1.5 ms.

Continuous Mode

The continuous mode controllers are microprocessor based and specially designed to control all types of LATAB lighting heads.

Continuous Mode Controller

Like the lighting heads they are designed in a black aluminium housing. The controller is enabled for plug and play. Just connect the LATAB lighting head and the controller automatically identifies the lighting type by an electronic sensor and gives the maximum light intensity to the lighting head. The light intensity can be adjusted by a dimmer inside the controller. The unique "long flash" feature gives the opportunity to increase the light intensity up to 200 % when trigger pulse is on. In order to avoid overheating the pulse length is limited to 5 sec, followed by a 5 sec cool down period. The controllers are supplied with 5 m power/trigger cable by default.

Strobe Mode

The strobe mode controllers are microprocessor based and specially designed to control all types of LATAB lighting heads.

Strobe Controller

Like the lighting heads they are designed in a black aluminium housing. The controller is enabled for plug and play. Just connect the LATAB lighting head and the controller automatically identifies the lighting type by an electronic sensor and gives the maximum light intensity to the lighting head. The strobe pulse is adjustable in 16 steps. The light intensity can also be adjusted. Increasing the light intensity up to 200 % at 50 and 100 µsec strobes can be selected by internal jumper. The controllers are supplied with 5 m power/ trigger cable by default.

Demo Controller/Lab Tester

The demo controller/laboratory tester is enabled for plug and play.

Just connect the LATAB light head and the controller automatically limits the output current to the specified maximum for the connected light head. All adjustments can be done from the front panel. The demo controller can operate in both continuous and strobe modes:

Demo Controller
  • Continuous mode: normal as well as external on/off control
  • Strobe mode: internal or external trigger. Strobe time from 0.001 - 1.5 msec
  • Trigger frequency: adjustable internal generator; 1 - 50 Hz or external up to 200 Hz.
  • Light intensity range: 0 - 100% @ strobe time 0.001 - 1.5 msec; 0 - 200% @ strobe time max. 100 µsec.
