Advanced Illumination - ICS I3 & I3S Inline Controllers

  • The I3 and I3S Inline Controllers provide overdrive strobe and continuous operation to lights from a small package when larger, more versatile external controllers are not necessary. 
  • Switching between continuous-on, gating on/off and strobe overdrive is seamless. The I3 and I3S employ Ai’s exclusive Adaptive OverdriveTM that optimizes strobe power regardless of input Pulse Width. 
  • The I3 is a default-on device on power-up, whereas the I3S is a default-off device, requiring a trigger to illuminate. 
  • All ICS models employ reverse input polarity protection. 
  • Provides continuous-on and DC gating on/off control as well as 0-10 volt analog dimming. 30 uSec response time. 
  • A wash down version of all ICS drivers is provided automatically with any wash down light to which it is attached. 
  • 0 – 100% Intensity Control with optional DCS-MP, purchased separately, will provide manual intensity control via an external potentiometer.
