Q - U - E - S - T - I - O - N - S ? call 503-377-8247 OR SEND US YOUR QUESTION THRU EBAYS MESSAGING SYSTEM A 12 Volt Dimmer/ Speed Controller Kit. It’s an especially efficient PWM controller for 12VDC loads up to 60W. You can either dial it in for the desired level or use the switch for a preset power level of 1%, 10%, 25%, 50% or 100% and back to off again. You can even mount a second speed step switch (optional - not supplied) in a remote location off the main circuit board. Only four connections for power and load. The neat thing about this dimmer is that you can dim LEDs, or use it as a speed controller for fans and motors. Got a robot that runs too fast, well slow it down with this great kit. There are actually a lot of applications for a simple circuit such as this. Complete kit. Requires Soldering. Pulse Width Modulation is a great way to drive / dim your leds because it offers several advantages 1. the leds dont get as hot as on pure dc 2. you save up to 70% on your battery power 3. you no longer need specialized / custom power supplies to run your leds THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS ARE ONLINE ONLY BEFORE BIDDING PLEASE REVIEW THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS CLICK HERE TO SEE THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS   PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A POWER SUPPLY BY ITSELF YOU WILL HAVE TO CONNECT A POWER SOURCE SUCH AS A BATTERY OR WALL TYPE DC TRANSFORMER TO POWER THIS KIT   MINIMUM INPUT 3 VOLTS DC ********************************* MAXIMUM INPUT 16 VOLTS DC ******************************* MAXIMUM OUTPUT 5 AMPS @ 12 VOLTS OR 60 WATTS TOTAL ********************************* THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC KIT AND DOES NOT COME ASSEMBLED  I am sorry but there is no knob included, although the pot has a line on the end that helps indicate where the power level is set YOU WILL HAVE TO PUT IT TOGETHER AND SOLDER THE PARTS ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD ***************************************   YOU HAVE TO HAVE A FINE TIP SOLDERING IRON AND SOME SOLDER, AND YOU SUPPLY WIRES TO CONNECT YOUR POWER AND LOAD       PLEASE READ THIS AUCTION PAGE COMPLETELY BEFORE BIDDING.

Determine the forward voltage drop and current limit for the combination of led(s) you are going to be using 2. To determine the voltage of the wall wart: Add 1.5 volts more than to forward voltage drop of the led(s) for the overhead of the pwm circuit 3. To determine the max current of the wall wart: It must be a.) at least 30% of the maximum pure dc current rating of the led(s) in order to work properly, and b.) no more than 100% of the maximum pure dc current rating of the led(s) to avoid possibly over driving the led(s) If you can not find just the exact "wall wart" you need, you can always use one slightly smaller with no damage to the leds, or use one slightly bigger, and add a current limiting resistor in series with the leds Click here for a neat Current Limiting Resistor Calculator for Led's if you have questions about hooking up a single led, - leds in series, - leds in parallel or Click here for the Luxeon Star Calculator The pwm circuit works by sending 150 pulses of electricity per second to leds, in very short duration – high power, this makes the leds appear just as bright to the human eye, but is actually doing it with an up to 70% energy savings over pure DC, making it perfect for battery or solar power useres Failure to follow these instructions may result in premature failure of your leds - PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU FAIL TO FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES AND BURN OUT YOUR LEDS This is important: As a precaution, and to verify that everything is working properly, you should have some kind of an ammeter in series with the led(s) the first time you use the pwm driver, so that you can verify the the average current being delivered to the leds is no more than the manufacturers published guildelines for the led(s) you are using. This ammeter can be a cheap $9.95 VOM available at most home improvement stores or auto parts stores, or a needle movement ammeter capable of reading 0-1000 milliamps( Radio Shack used to sell them) Your pwm circuit will also cause the leds to require slightly less heatsinking, but you will still need some heatsinking. To determine if your leds are running too hot, just remember this, if it is too hot for you to touch, then its too hot for the led, and you must either get a bigger heatsink, or put a fan on the heatsink, or turn down the power to the leds.
