CON1 is a control unit for all SolarStinger and SolarRaptor products that are operated with a DRV power supply.

You can make the settings directly via the display or via Mini USB cable (not included), on the PC (Windows XP or newer version required). You can find the required software here.
Set the switch-on and switch-off times, slowly move the light up and down or generally keep it dimmed if it is too strong.
Some products like the SolarStinger SunStrip 35 FRESH, the SolarStinger SunStrip 70 MARINE or the SolarRaptor SunStrip 35 REPTILE have RGB LEDs. Therefore you can simulate sunrise and sunset for example and adjust the colour gradient accordingly or make other colour changes if you think it is necessary.
At this point it should be mentioned again that the light spectra of all SolarStinger/SolarRaptor SunStrips are ideally designed for their field of application (plant and coral growth) and do not need to be optimized by changing the color settings! Therefore all LEDs should be controlled in equal proportions. E.g. all colour channels to 100 %, all to 80 % or all to 65 %.

Once you have saved your desired light curve, it will be displayed daily by the CON1 control unit.

For connection, the DRV power supply unit is connected to the input of CON1. The output power (size) of the DRV must be selected according to the input power (wattage) of the connected products. It is important that the input power of CON1 (1 Watt) is included in the calculation.

The three outputs of CON1 can be controlled individually and can be used with any products up to a total of max. 160 watts input power.

Examples:
CON1 output 1 – SunStrip FRESH 35 850 mm / 31 W
CON1 Output 2 – SunStrip FRESH 70 850 mm / 60 W
CON1 Output 3 – WaterTube ActinicMoon 500 mm / 7.5 W ;
CON1 Input – DRV2 120W
=> Input power = 31 W + 60 W + 7.5 W + 1 W = 99.5 W
=> Output power = 120 W

With a DRV Y-Cable (not included in the scope of delivery) it is also possible to control several products synchronously via one output.

Software Updates

Software updates can be uploaded via the Mini USB input. The updates for the CON1 can be found under: www.econlux.de/updates.
