Beacons systems
Carmanah uses the same system controller for all of its beacon products, including RRFBs, circular beacons, and LED-enhanced signs. This controller features a high-efficiency, constant-current, LED circuit, and as such, only constant-current fixtures consisting of raw LED strings (no other circuitry) are compatible.
Only use constant-current type LED fixtures when replacing damaged fixtures or performing system troubleshooting. Connecting non-compatible fixture types to the system may result in damage to the controller or fixtures.
Radar Speed Signs
Carmanah radar speed signs have a configurable 12-volt, constant voltage output built into the product controller. This output can be used to power circular beacons, strobes, and other 12-volt devices. This output can provide up to 24 Watts.
Do not connect constant-current LED or other devices to the 12-volt output on the control board.
