uniLIGHT Economy.8 PLUS Module

The E8 control module is the successor to the well-known 8-channel PRO controller from uniLIGHT.at. The hardware and software have undergone a complete overhaul and been enhanced with several new features, most notably support for uniLIGHT PLUS functionality in conjunction with the uniLIGHT DESK.

The 8-channel module continues to offer universal application possibilities for all lighting tasks in functional model building. Up to eight power or lighting circuits can be implemented, utilizing two different operating voltages. Up to 6 lighting sequences can be dynamically selected, 5 of which are fully programmable. These can then be selected via the servo range from -100% to +100%. Additionally, the speed of the lighting effect can be freely adjusted on the module according to personal preference and the scale of the model.

The software interface has been converted to the 3-pin data interface for the uniLIGHT MODUL-PLUS programming cable. In addition to more stable communication, the status of the data connection can also be displayed directly on the cable. Other familiar and new features of the E8 include

• dynamic programming with 2 to 6 lighting schemes
• automatic adjustment of the servo travel
• connector strips compatible with unLIGHT standard lights
• electrical isolation between RC and lights
• Galvanically isolated 2-circuit operation of lights with different batteries/voltages possible
• Robust, screw-mounted housing and mounting base included
• Performance up to 2x7 amps continuous current, up to 30V (depending on the lights used)
• Any light patterns with 16-bit depth programmable via Slid'n Click
• Two servo outputs for folding headlights, flaps, landing gear, spoilers,...
• Servo outputs programmable directly or with adjustable soft start
• Rotation speed freely adjustable for each lighting scheme
• Custom ramp functions individually adjustable for each channel in every lighting scheme
• Individual idle pauses for each lighting channel and in each scheme allow for custom pauses and highly asynchronous behavior
