Drivers Recom – Series RCD-24
We tested these drivers with Pwm8 and Pwm16 system Theremino with good results, their precise adjustment and gradual, efficient and warm very little.

Prices ---------------------------------------------------- From 10 Euro per 14 euros depending on the number of pieces, the output current and model "A" or "B"
Common features of all models ---------------------------------------------------- Costruttore Recom Contenitore SMT Dimensioni 6,6 x 11,4 x 31mm Efficienza 96% MTBF >600 mila ore Numero di uscite 1 Ripple and noise 300 mVp-p Potenza nominale 21W Temperatura d'esercizio da -40 a +75°C Tensione di ingresso da 4.5 to 36 Volt output voltage from 2 to 35 Volts
The signal coming from one of the standard connectors of InputOutput of one module in the system Theremino, connects directly to Signal (the yellow wire) and Gnd (the black or brown wire), While you will leave not connected the central Red wire that carries the 5 volts.
The Pin type to use is PWM_8 or PWM_16 in order to allow brightness adjustment, a slave of type “Servant” can feed up to ten of these modules independently.
Drivers XP POWER
We did not try these drivers, There remains some doubt about the possibility to adjust the light down to zero (datasheet speaks of a strange 25%)
Features of LDU0830S350 ------------------------------------------------------------- Farnell Code: 1738292 Cost: about 9 Euro power output: 8W (up to 8 LEDs in series from 1 W) Input voltage: from 7V up to 30V Dimensions: 6.88mm x 20.32 x 10.16 mm Efficiency: 95% Piloting: PWM - min. 0.3volts - Max 1.2 volts
The resistive divider reduces the voltage from 3.3 volts to 0.9 volts.
The signal coming from one of the standard connectors of InputOutput Slave system Theremino links to Signal points (the yellow wire) and Gnd (the black or brown wire), While you will leave not connected the central Red wire that carries the 5 volts.
The Pin type to use is PWM_8 or PWM_16 in order to allow brightness adjustment, a slave of type “Servant” can feed up to ten of these modules independently.
Power supplies for drivers
To power the power supplies require a voltage from 7 to 30 Volt that will be provided by a power supply like the image on the right.
Typically with a 7 volts you can feed a single led, with one from 12 volts you can feed three in series, with one from 24 they will feed you and finally with one from 30 You can feed up to 8 LEDs in series. (Verify controller specification used)
A power supply from 1 amp can power two ballasts one from 5 amps it could fuel more than ten.
And’ right click switching type power supplies and current protected. Models from 12 volts are cheap because used for halogen lamps, on eBay you can find from 5 to 10 Ampere in 15 euros or so. You can find them at a good price in the shops of electrical equipment.
