SLAMMED V5 – Important Installation Considerations

The SLAMMO V5 in IP67 enclosures should be separated by an air gap of not less than 50mm for air movement around the case. Power supplies should also be separated from each other (refer to the power supply manufacturer’s recommendations) and from the SLAMMOs, typically above the SLAMMOs and in any case separated by at least 50mm from the SLAMMOs. Care should be taken not to create significant EMI (electromagnetic interference) near SLAMMOs, and in particular, do not coil any spare wiring from the power supplies – always trim to length. Local interference may limit the number of SLAMMOs on one power supply and in any case a limit of six SLAMMOs powered by the same power supply is recommended. 24VDC LED loads on SLAMMO OEM PCBs (no enclosure) can be up to 25A total load per SLAMMO and 15A per output of LEDs but these maximums must be de-rated to allow for the LED’s inrush current at start up. These values must also be de-rated dependant on air movement/cooling (in air-conditioned environments kept at <40°C for example, the full rating is possible after allowance for any inrush current). The SLAMMO V5 (PCA and IP54 versions) located in an ambient of 40°C or less is suitable for loads up to 600W @24VDC less the power supply inrush headroom (a suitable PSU such as the Meanwell HLG-600H-24 should only be loaded to <490W @ 24VDC. The SLAMMO V5 (IP67 version) located in an ambient of <40°C is suitable for loads up to 450W @ 24 VDC.
SLAMMED V5 – Important Connection Polarity and Voltage
The SLAMMO is designed to operate at 7-48VDC (voltages above 60VDC will result in damage). The voltage supplied to the SLAMMO should match the VDC of the LEDs to be controlled, and not exceed 48VDC. The SLAMMO V5 has reverse polarity protection, but damage may still occur to the connected load.
SLAMMO V5 – Matched power supplies
DO NOT use any power supply that is not compliant with CISPR15 (EN55015). We recommend approved CISPR 15 compliant power supplies by Meanwell (EG HLG and CLG series). Only one power supply per SLAMMO (or SLAMMOs) can be used – do NOT combine the outputs of more than one power supply. Note that the HLG-600 series have two paralleled output leads, each of which is rated at 20A. If only one output cable of an HLG-600 is used, the other must be properly terminated. If both outputs are used, they must be marshalled properly into a j box or similar.
IP67 Enclosure – Important: Temperature/Load
The SLAMMO V5 in IP67 enclosure should not be overloaded – the maximum recommended load is 450W at 24VDC and 300W at 12VDC in environments with ambient temperatures <40°C. For SLAMMO in IP67 enclosures, no channel should be loaded with more 10A to allow for inrush from the LEDs at start up. The total of all four outputs must not exceed 450W (18.75A at 24VDC or 15A 300W at 12VDC). It is recommended that channels be evenly loaded where possible. Optional vents are also available. Maximum design temperature of the SLAMMO V5 PCA is 70°C.
IP54 Enclosure – Important: Temperature/Load
The SLAMMO V5 in IP54 enclosure should not be overloaded – the maximum recommended load is 480W at 24VDC and 360W at 12VDC in environments with ambient temperatures <40°C. For SLAMMO in IP54 enclosures, no channel should be loaded with more 12A to allow for inrush from the LEDs at start up. The total of all four outputs must not exceed 480W (25A at 24VDC or 30A at 12VDC). It is recommended that channels be evenly loaded where possible. Maximum design temperature of the SLAMMO V5 PCA is 70°C.
Output Protection
Each of the 4 SLAMMO outputs are protected against short circuit by a 15A fuse. In the event that the output voltage is not as expected (and indicated by the mimic LED for that output), check for fuse failure caused by a short in your LED wiring or LEDs. Remedy any short first before replacing the fuse. The fuses on the 4 outputs are Littlefuse brand model 0451015.MRL available from Element14 and other major electronics components wholesalers.
Mimic LEDs

• Each output has a mimic LED on the SLAMMO V5 PCA
• Output 1 RED
• Output 2 GREEN
• Output 3 BLUE
• Output 4 WHITE

SLAMMED V5 – Description
The SLAMMO V5 can be controlled by DALI OR DSI OR DMX512 and RDM, though only by one of these protocols at a time. The currently active protocol can be selected using the 10-way dipswitch, which is accessible from the top of the case, or by using the RDM (Remote Device Management) interface (using a suitable RDM tool such as the Control Freak ADDICT). Note that the SLAMMO V5 will only listen to the currently active protocol and ignore the other protocols (although it will always listen and respond to RDM commands). The SLAMMO V5 suits the driving of constant voltage common anode LEDs.
Selecting protocol using Dipswitches
The currently active protocol for the SLAMMO can always be selected using the 10-way dipswitch:

Selecting DALI with the dipswitches
To operate the SLAMMO V5 as a DALI device, turn switch 10 ON and leave all other switches OFF. The SLAMMO V5 will then immediately be able to respond to DALI levels and commands (and will use any persistent settings that have been previously programmed via DALI).
Selecting DSI with the dipswitches
To operate the SLAMMO V5 as a DSI device, turn switch 9 and 10 ON and leave all other switches OFF. The SLAMMO V5 will then immediately be able to respond to DSI levels. All outputs will be slaved in DSI mode.
Selecting Test mode with the dipswitches
To operate the SLAMMO V5 in test mode, turn switch 8, 9 and 10 ON. The SLAMMO V5 will then start sequencing Red, Green, Blue, White, Full Output and back to Red with a 4 second fade time.
Selecting DMX512 with the dipswitches
To operate the SLAMMO V5 as a DMX512 device, turn switch 10 OFF and use the other 9 switches to select the starting DMX512 address. The SLAMMO V5 will then immediately be able to respond to DMX512 levels. The valid range for the address is 1 to 508 and is selected as a binary number with switches 1 to 9:

The starting DMX512 address is the sum of the values for the switches that are currently ON. Any changes to the state of the switches will immediately update the address, and the SLAMMO V5 will start responding to the new address straight away.
E.g. For an address of 267, break the value down into its components by removing the largest value.
267 – 256 = 11 – Turn Bitswitch 9 on
The next smallest is 4 (Value 8), so Bitswitch 5,6,7, and 8 should be left off.
11 – 8 = 3 – Turn Bitswitch 4 on
Leave Bitswitch 3 on
3 – 2 = 1 – Turn Bitswitch 2 on
1 – 1 = 0 – Turn Bitswitch 1 on.
Therefore, 267 = 0b110100001. You can also use Microsoft Calculator on ‘Programming Mode’ to easily get this value. Make sure to reverse the value on the calculator as the SLAMMO is LSB first.

Selecting the active protocol with RDM
To select the active protocol using the RDM interface, turn all switches OFF. The protocol that was already programmed using RDM will then immediately be active and the SLAMMO V5 will start responding to levels and/or commands for that protocol. For details on programming the active protocol using RDM, see the RDM interface at the end of this Manual. Note that the default factory setting for RDM protocol is DALI.
2-Way Bitswitches – DMX512
The 2-way bitswitches are designed for use in applications that use DMX512 (& RDM) and are not used with DALI or DSI.

2-way bitswitch #1 is located furthest from the 3 large aluminium heatsinks. 2-way bitswitch #2 is located nearest the 3 large aluminium heatsinks.

In DMX512 applications:

• 2-way bitswitch #1 – For use with unshielded Cat 5 or higher network cables connected to the SLAMMO’s RJ45 sockets
  • Bitswitch 1 – turn this bitswitch on to connect the DMX ground to the SLAMMO ground (via the integral 100Ω resistor) IF there is unavoidable excessive EMI noise interfering with operation
  • Bitswitch 2 – turn this bitswitch on to connect the DMX Data + and Data – to the SLAMMO’s integral 120Ω resistor IF this SLAMMO is the last DMX512 device on a given DMX512 line
• • 2-way bitswitch #2 – For use with shielded Cat 5 or higher network cables connected to the SLAMMO’s RJ45 sockets
  • Bitswitch 1 – turn this bitswitch on to connect the network cable’s shield to the SLAMMO’s DMX ground (Pins 7 & 8) IF there is unavoidable excessive EMI noise interfering with operation
  • Bitswitch 2 – turn this bitswitch on to connect the shielded Cat 5 (or higher) network cable’s shield to the SLAMMO’s ground (Pins 7 & 8) through the SLAMMO’s integral 100 Ω resistor IF there is unavoidable excessive EMI noise interfering with operation

DALI Operation

The SLAMMO V5 complies with DALI version 2 and implements four standard DALI devices (In standard configuration), with one DALI address per output as standard. The amount of DALI devices is selectable via RDM from 1, 2, 3, or 4 (default). The SLAMMO reacts to all DALI Type 6 Commands including fast fade time facilities and dimming curve selection. To receive DALI levels and commands, the DALI terminals of the SLAMMO V5 should be connected to a DALI line that also connects to a DALI power supply unit and one or more DALI controllers. For more information on the DALI protocol, refer to the DALI Standard documentation. The SLAMMO will react to correct DALI voltage between 9.5V and 22.5V with a threshold of 8.0V. The DALI Receiver will receive messages with a slightly wider timing range than required to prevent missing messages.
DALI Fade Time
The DALI fade time allows for the device to set (per channel) a fade time based on Table 1. DALI Fade Times. Note: A DALI fade time will only be used with Direct Arc Level Commands; as per the DALI standard, a MAX, MIN or OFF command will use the device’s fast fade time value (Default – Instant).
Table 1. DALI Fade Times

Fadetime Setting| Min fade time (s)| Nominal fade time (s)| Max fade time (s)
---|---|---|---
0| Uses Extended Fade Time – see Extended Fade Times
1| 0.6| 0.7| 0.8
2| 0.9| 1.0| 1.1
3| 1.3| 1.4| 1.6
4| 1.8| 2.0| 2.2
5| 2.5| 2.8| 3.1
6| 3.6| 4.0| 4.4
7| 5.1| 5.7| 6.2
8| 7.2| 8.0| 8.8
9| 10.2| 11.3| 12.4
10| 14.4| 16.0| 17.6
11| 20.4| 22.6| 24.9
12| 28.8| 32.0| 35.2
13| 40.7| 45.3| 49.8
14| 57.6| 64.0| 70.4
15| 81.5| 90.5| 99.6

Extended Fade Times

Version 2 of the DALI standard allows for a much greater variety of fadetimes than those shown above for older versions. If the fade time of 0 is selected, then the device will use the extended fade rate to calculate the desired fade. The value that is sent to the device is calculated using the equation (1), where AAAA is the base value, (between 1 and 16) and YYY is the fade time multiplier. The multipliers are shown in Table 2. DALI Extended Fade Multipliers. 0

Table 2. DALI Extended Fade Multipliers

Example: If you want to set a fade rate of 6 minutes then you would calculate it as shown below;

AAAA = 6 = 0101 (binary)
YYY = 100 (binary)
Byte to send = 0YYYAAAA = 01000101 = 69 (Dec) = 0x45 (Hex)
This fade rate allows for fades between 100ms to 16 minutes.
Fast Fade Time
If both the fade time and the extended fade time are set to 0, then the device will use its fast fade time. The fast fade times are shown in Table 3. Fast Fade Times.
Table 3. Fast Fade Times

No#| Time (ms)| No#| Time (ms)| No#| Time (ms)| No#| Time (ms)
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
0| < 25 (5ms)| 7| 175| 14| 350| 21| 525
1| 25| 8| 200| 15| 375| 22| 550
2| 50| 9| 225| 16| 400| 23| 575
3| 75| 10| 250| 17| 425| 24| 600
4| 100| 11| 275| 18| 450| 25| 625
5| 125| 12| 300| 19| 475| 26| 650
6| 150| 13| 325| 20| 500| 27| 675

The default fast fade time is 0, where the change in light level will be performed at the SLAMMOs highest rate (approx. < 5ms).

Dimming Curve

The SLAMMO V5 Type 6 allows for the selection of an appropriate dimming curve; logarithmic or linear. The default mode is logarithmic. The dimming curve can be selected through the device type 6 extended command 227, where a value of 0 represents logarithmic, and a value of 1 represents linear. The difference between the curves is shown in Figure 1. Log and Linear Dimming Curves .

Type 6 DALI

The SLAMMO is designed for DALI Type 6 and follows as per the standard commands in Table 4. Type 6 Commands. The expected responses are outlined, as well as the supported features of type 6.

Table 4. Type 6 Commands
In order to send a Type 6 command, the Enable Device Type 6 command must be sent first, and then the desired command. The Type 6 command must also be repeated within 100ms in order for it to be successfully read. The ‘Enable Device Type 6’ command must be sent before every type 6 command; it does not enable it indefinitely and is disabled on any other command received.
Miscellaneous
The SLAMMO V5 contains a memory bank that has information such as UID (Unique Identifier), DALI version, Hardware version and software version. This information is all available through reading the memory bank through DALI. Note; The UID number presented in the memory bank is the same as the RDM UID.

DSI Operation
The SLAMMO V5 implements a single DSI device – i.e. 4 channels act as 1. To receive DSI levels, the DALI terminals of the SLAMMO V5 should be connected to a DSI bus/line that also connects to a DSI controller. For more information on the DSI protocol, refer to DSI Protocol documentation.

DMX512 Operation
The SLAMMO V5 implements four DMX512 devices in the one SLAMMO to allow individual control over all four outputs. Depending on its current personality the SLAMMO V5 will have a DMX512 footprint (i.e. how many channels it listens to) of 4, 8, 12, 16, or 5 channels as set out below.
DMX512 Personalities
This section outlines the five personalities that are available for DMX512 in the SLAMMO V5, programmable by means of RDM-compliant devices such as the Control Freak ADDICT®.
Personality 1 – Basic
This personality provides the simplest DMX512 functionality for the SLAMMO V5. This is the default personality, which provides simple single channel per output DMX512 dimming. The following table lists the DMX512 channels that the SLAMMO V5 listens to for the basic personality:

| Personality 1
---|---
DMX channel if Start

Address is DMX Channel 1

| Offset from Start Address| Channel name| Output
1| + 0| Coarse| Ch 1
2| +1| Coarse| Ch 2
3| +2| Coarse| Ch 3
4| +3| Coarse| Ch 4

Personality 2 – Intermediate (vector)
This personality adds to the functionality of the basic personality, providing a means of achieving smoother dimming. DMX512 is limited to a refresh rate of 44HZ as it services all 512 channels 44 times per second. Vector mode removes this limitation by handing over fading to the SLAMMO V5 which increase the refresh rate (fade updates) to 200Hz. (This should not be confused with the on/off frequency of the LEDs which is 400Hz standard and 800Hz optional). The following table describes the function for each DMX512 channel that the SLAMMO V5 listens to for the intermediate personality:

| Personality 2
---|---
DMX channel if Start

Address is DMX Channel 1

| Offset from Start Address| Channel name| Output
1| + 0| Coarse| Ch 1
2| + 1| Vector| Ch 1
3| + 2| Coarse| Ch 2
4| + 3| Vector| Ch 2
5| + 4| Coarse| Ch 3
6| + 5| Vector| Ch 3
7| +6| Coarse| Ch 4
8| +7| Vector| Ch 4

This personality allows for an individual DMX512 channel for the vector control of each output. For a global vector mode that allows a single DMX512 channel for the vector control of all four outputs, refer to Personality 5 overleaf.

Personality 3 – Advanced

This personality adds to the functionality of the intermediate personality, providing another means of achieving smoother dimming, allowing either vector mode or coarse (8 bit) and fine (16 bit) dimming. The following table describes the function for each DMX512 channel that the SLAMMO V5 listens to for the advanced personality:

| Personality 3
---|---
DMX channel if Start

Address is DMX Channel 1

| Offset from Start Address| Channel name| Output
1| + 0| Coarse| Ch 1
2| + 1| Fine| Ch 1
3| + 2| Vector| Ch 1
4| + 3| Coarse| Ch 2
5| + 4| Fine| Ch 2
6| + 5| Vector| Ch 2
7| + 6| Coarse| Ch 3
8| + 7| Fine| Ch 3
9| + 8| Vector| Ch 3
10| + 9| Coarse| Ch 4
11| + 10| Fine| Ch 4
12| + 11| Vector| Ch 4

Personality 4 – Advanced with Strobe
This personality adds another channel to the advanced personality, providing an automatic strobe function. The following table describes the function for each DMX512 channel for advanced with strobe personality:

| Personality 4
---|---
DMX channel if Start

Address is DMX Channel 1

| Offset from Start Address| Channel name| Output
1| + 0| Coarse| Ch 1
2| + 1| Fine| Ch 1
3| + 2| Vector| Ch 1
4| + 3| Strobe| Ch 1
5| + 4| Coarse| Ch 2
6| + 5| Fine| Ch 2
7| + 6| Vector| Ch 2
8| + 7| Strobe| Ch 2
9| + 8| Coarse| Ch 3
10| + 9| Fine| Ch 3
11| + 10| Vector| Ch 3
12| + 11| Strobe| Ch 3
13| + 12| Coarse| Ch 4
14| + 13| Fine| Ch 4
15| + 14| Vector| Ch 4
16| + 15| Strobe| Ch 4

Personality 5 – Basic with Global Vector
This personality adds to the functionality of the basic personality, providing a means of achieving smoother dimming similar to Personality 2 but with less control channels required (5 instead of 8). DMX512 is limited to a refresh rate of 44HZ as it services all 512 channels 44 times per second. Vector mode removes this limitation by handing over fading to the SLAMMO V5 which increase the refresh rate (fade updates) to 200Hz. (This should not be confused with the on/off frequency of the LEDs which is 400Hz standard and 800Hz optional). The following table describes the function for each DMX512 channel that the SLAMMO V5 listens to for the intermediate personality:

| Personality 1
---|---
DMX channel if Start

Address is DMX Channel 1

| Offset from Start Address| Channel name| Output
1| + 0| Coarse| Ch 1
2| + 1| Coarse| Ch 2
3| +2| Coarse| Ch 3
4| + 3| Coarse| Ch 4
5| + 4| Vector| Ch ALL

DMX512 Control Channel Functions
This section outlines the functionality for each of the DMX512 channels that are available in the SLAMMO V5. Note that the number of channels that is available depends upon the current personality (see previous section).
Coarse Channel
This channel sets the current output intensity. It provides a 0-255 range of levels between 0% and 100% intensity. It is effectively ‘8-bit’, and recommended only when the DMX512 controller has limited functionality.
Fine Channel
This channel allows for greater control over the current output intensity. It provides up to a further 0-255 range of intensity levels between the current coarse output level and the next highest coarse output level. When dimming using the fine channel, the coarse and the fine levels should be treated as one value (ranging from 0-65535) and then split into two bytes when sending the DMX512 levels. Not all controllers have this functionality (sometimes called 16-bit dimming).
Vector Channel
This channel allows the user to use a DMX512 channel to determine the fadetime for the output intensity when the coarse and/or fine channels are changed. The following table outlines the functionality for different vector channel levels:

rates

of change are given in the next table.

The following table gives precise rates for each of the vector channel levels. Instead of specifying the rates in terms of something like output levels per second, the table shows how long it would take for the output intensity to change from 0% to 100% (or vice-versa), since this is typically a more useful way of describing the rates of change.

Example 1: You want to dim up over 1 second from 0 to 100% (ie the coarse channel changes from 0 to 255 and you want it to take 1 second). The vector channel would be 15 (falls in the range 0.1s – 3.9s which starts at 6, and it’s 9 x 0.1s greater than 0.1s, which gives 6 + 9 = 15).
Example 2: The coarse channel changes from a DMX512 level of 201 to a level of 100 and you want it to take 30 seconds to dim down from 201 to 100. The table above provides times based on a change of 255 (0 to 100%), and you want to work out what vector level to use based on 201 – 100 = 101 out of 255. The closest equivalent in the table of full-range times would be 30 * (255/101) 76s, so the vector channel would be 153 (falls in the range 60s – 118s which starts at a level of 145, and it’s 8 x 2s greater than 60s, which gives 145 + 8 = 153).

Strobe Channel
This channel allows for the SLAMMO V5 to automatically strobe at a selectable frequency and intensity. The following table outlines the functionality for different strobe channel levels:

In the table, “current intensity” refers to the output level selected by the coarse, fine and vector channels. A “one-shot” is a single strobe that occurs when the channel level moves from the “waiting zone” to the one-shot “trigger zone”. This allows for a controller to cause a strobe to occur at irregular intervals (instead of manually changing the output level), as demonstrated in the following diagram:

The strobe functionality for levels 8 – 131 is the same as 132 – 255, but has different idle and strobe intensities. A curve of the variable strobe frequency for different strobe channel levels is shown below.

RDM Interface

Introduction

Remote Device Management protocol support has been implemented in the Control Freak SLAMMO V5. This document describes specific aspects of the RDM implementation. This document should be read in conjunction with the RDM specification.

Glands

The SLAMMO V5 – in IP54 and IP67 versions – is supplied with four off M20 glands that are suitable for cables with an OD of 6 to 12mm. If the cable diameter (eg for DMX) is smaller, insert the separate reducing seal which will change the gland to suiting 5 to 9mm OD cables. Also supplied with the IP54 version is an M20 blind screw for applications where only 3 of the 4 possible glands are needed. Always leave enough cable length to be able to easily connect to cables during servicing, testing and commissioning. When using Cat 6e and similar cables for DMX, insert the cable through the gland and use a crimp on RJ connector. Always use circular cables with the glands – figure 8 and other non-circular cables will not seal properly inside the glands. Position the glands to minimise cable bending radii – too tight a bend due the location of the gland can damage cables internally. Note that in the IP67 version, the lid (either end) can also be used for cable entry if required. In non-exposed locations, the installer may elect to reduce the IP rating and leave the glands out, however note that the glands also provided mechanical restraint to cables such that they do not pull free accidentally or allow excessive mechanical stress on the termination blocks and DMX sockets. In the IP54 version, care should be taken with cable management so that the cables exit straight so that they do not put undue mechanical strain on the end plugs. Always ensure that output cables are sized to minimise voltage drop. A VDC drop of <1VDC is recommended, 0.5VDC max preferred.

Cable Glands & mounting – IP67 enclosed models only
SLAMMED V5 – in IP54 and IP67 versions – is supplied with four off M20 glands that are suitable for cables with an OD of 6 to 12mm. If the cable diameter (eg for DMX) is smaller, insert the separate reducing seal which will change the gland to suiting 5 to 9mm OD cables. Also supplied with the IP54 version is an M20 blind screw for applications where only 3 of the 4 possible glands are needed.
Note that it is recommended that the SLAMMO is mounted horizontally. If the SLAMMO is mounted vertically (e.g. in a pole) then the model selected should be IP67 and all glands should be located on the bottom side as shown in the picture at left.
The DMX cables, if used, must be terminated with a crimp RJ45 once cable is routed into the IP67 enclosure.
Note that all cables used must be circular and only one cable may be used per cable entry gland.
