The RT range is our next generation of LED lighting controller solutions for machine vision applications. Implementing our new patented SafePower® technology, installation is much simpler, removing the needs of perhaps having to use a bespoke DC power supply or heat sinking the controller. All RT models also include our SafeSense® technology. To get the very best out of your LED lighting solution, in terms of brightness stability and control, the lights should be driven from a current source, not a nominal voltage supply. The Gardasoft controllers are current sources. The RT800 controller range offers eight output channels which are all independently controlled.

Each channel can be individually configured to output continuously; or pulsed based on an external trigger signal or internal timer. These controllers allow pulse width control down to 1µS resolution. Selected mode allows switching of the light based upon the state of an external trigger.

The RT820 / RT860 models can be quickly configured using our free software which can be downloaded from this page, or for the Ethernet enabled RT820 range, simply by accessing the controller via your internet browser; type in the IP address for the controller into your browser and you have full access to all of the parameters. Using a third party software package? Not a problem.The RT800 range has a simple command set that is detailed in the manual allowing easy

  communication. As with all Gardasoft products, all the settings are stored in non volatile memory, and it will retain these settings even when the Ethernet connection is disconnected.

Using our patented SafeSense® technology, the RT800 range allows you to overdrive your LED lights safe in the knowledge that the lights will be protected from damage. The RT800 series will protect the lights ensuring that the high current pulses are regulated in terms of pulse width timing and frequency. The end result is you get the maximum light possible for your application. SafePower® now allows you to overdrive the lights without having to increase the input power supply voltage (which you need to do with the PP range), making implementation and system integration much simpler.
