  • Power Supply voltage : 24V-32V DC

  • Up to 8 power LEDs in series per channel

  • LED dimming through PWM

  • DMX512 compatible

  • Auto running modes available through DIP switch

  • Different versions available (AUD-MD350 = 350mA per channel, AUD-MD700 = 700mA per channel)

  • Very compact design

  • High efficiency

  • PCB and Cased versions

  • Easy to install

Typical Applications:

  • RGB Colour mixing

  • Architectural lighting

  • Signage

  • Cove lighting

  • Flood Lighting

  • Landscape lighting

Ordering Codes:

When ordering or referring to a specific Alto product, please use the following product numbering:

  • AUD-MD-350-P : 350mA, PCB version

  • AUD-MD-350-C : 350mA, cased version

  • AUD-MD-700-P : 700mA, PCB version

  • AUD-MD-700-C : 700mA, cased version


 

Application figures:

Every output channel can drive a maximum load of 15W.

So one should take care when designing the load configuration.

The load per channel can easily be calculated by adding the power consumption of each led connected to the specific channel.

To calculate the power of each led, one should take the forward voltage drop of the LED used and multiply this by the current going through it.

The forward voltage drop (VF) can be found in the data sheet of the LED in question. Please note that VF is always mentioned for a specific current through the LED.

Example 1, picture to the right: every channel has

a load of: ( 3,42V * 0,35A) * 8 = 9,58W

Example 2, picture in lower right corner:

Ch1, red leds: (2,95V * 0,35A) * 12 = 12,39W

Ch2, green leds: (3,42V * 0,35A) * 12 = 14,36W

Ch3, blue leds: (3,42V * 0,35A) * 12 = 14,36W

 

AUD-MD350 driving 24 Luxeon I LEDs (White), 8 in series per channel, total power = 28,7W

AUD-MD-700 driving 18 Luxeon K2 LEDs (Red, Green & Blue), 6 in series per channel, total power = 44,5W

 

AUD-MD-700 driving 36 Luxeon I LEDs (Red, Green & Blue), 12 in series/parallel per channel, total power = 41,1W
