Gilderfluke&Co Br-miniBrick4 - Manual (Page 5)

When you have all of your shows completed, you can download them to a Br-
miniBrick4 through a USB-RS232/422 serial port adapter and Br-miniBrick4/Cable.
You can then make additional changes and download again and again until your show
is perfect. The PC can then go away. The Br-miniBrick4 will run by itself.
Features of the Br-miniBrick4 include:
• Each Br-miniBrick4 has a show capacity of over four minutes at thirty updates
per second! Once programmed, shows are retained for approximately forty
years, with or without power applied.
• You can rewrite the memory approximately fifty thousand times.
• ʻRecordʼ, ʻgoʼ and ʻdataʼ buttons for programming in RealTime without any com-
puter at all.
• One non-polarized isolated input is used to trigger from push buttons, motion
sensors, or any other kind of switch. LED shows all input activity.
• Each of the four outputs is rated for a continuous load of 300 ma., or 500 ma.
peak at 24 vdc. This is enough to drive small solenoid valves, relays, lights, and
similar loads. The LEDs show all output activity.
• Multiple Br-miniBrick4s can be triggered simultaneously or sequentially.
• High quality cage clamp-style screw terminals for all power, trigger, and output
connections.
• Optional serial port adapter allows RealTime programming and ʻdownloading in
placeʼ through our easy-to-use PC•MACs software. This lets you program with
greater accuracy, or program lots of Br-miniBrick4s identically! When down-
loaded, a Br-miniBrick4 can hold up to 255 shows at one time and supports
update rates from one frame per second to a maximum of one hundred frames
per second. This allows you to program ʻdelayʼ shows that tick along at low
frame rates between your main shows. The ʻNextʼ show can be set for the end
of any show, allowing you to build ʻchainsʼ of shows. Shows can be accessed
sequentially or directly using the single input. The input can also be set to start,
stop, pause, continue, or directly select a specific show.
• The Br-miniBrick4 runs on anything from 9-24 VDC . Br-miniBrick4s can
even be run from batteries or solar cells where AC power is unavailable.
• Sturdy 2.75” x 1.1” x .75” aluminum case.
• Br-miniBrick4s mount in standard Augat 2.75” ʻSnap Trackʼ, velcro, or using a
pair of screws.
