This adaptable EL Driver only works for CHASING EL Wire
With this Driver you can adjust the speed of the chasing wire
It is a powerful Driver and is suitable for up to 15 metres of Chasing EL Wire or 5m ULTRA Chasing EL Wire
It is always best practice to connect the EL Wire to to the Driver before activating the Driver. This will avoid damaging if it is inadvertently switched on without the wire connected to it.
As explained in detail below, these Adaptable Drivers are very versatile with a whole selection of Power inputs (Mains, Batteries, Direct 12v etc)
Its dimensions are: 5cm x 4cm x 4cm (L x W x H) and weighs 80g.
Instructions:
1. Switch On, (to first position), ensuring that you have the EL Wire attached, as not having it attached when switching the Driver on can burn the Driver out.
2. The first position is ON and normal chasing speed.
3. Slide the switch to the last position and the Chasing EL Wire will move between speeding up and slowing down.
4. Watch the speed and when you see the speed that you want the EL Wire to chase at, move the switch back to the first position and it will lock the speed you want to use.
This Driver does have an On/Off Switch
EL Driver Options:
We have found it is impossible to guess how you will be using the EL Wire, EL Tape and Drivers, so you will see on this website we have tried to give you as many choices as possible.
This Driver is no exception as it also has a range of power inputs that hopefully cover most uses:
1) ONLY THE DRIVER
Maybe you have your own 12v 5.5mm/2.1mm input you want to use, perhaps you will be using one of the 2 Way power Splitters?
Whatever your reason, this option gives you just the driver (as in the pic above) - without any external power connectors like the rest of these listed below...
2) Crocodile Clips
Perfect if you already have your own 12V battery to run this driver
3) 8xAA Battery Box
This 8xAA Battery Box will plug straight into the driver. It is fairly large (127mm x 72mm x 19mm) but will make this EL Driver portable
4) 3 x 18650 Rechargeable Battery Box
This 3x18650 Rechargeable Battery Box will plug straight into the driver. It is fairly large (76mm x 60mm x 19mm) and the leads for the output are 15cm long but will make this EL Driver portable.
5) Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
Much smaller and lighter than the Battery Box, these powerful Li-ion batteries come in a range of sizes
1000mAh: 81g (6.5cm x 3.7cm x 1.8cm)
1800mAh (square): 145g (5.6cm x 3.8cm x 3.1cm)
3000mAh: 172g (7.3cm x 5.6cm x 2.2cm)
5000mAh: 265g (6.0cm x 5.8cm x 3.9cm)
All of these Li-ion Batteries come with an intelligent recharger
6) Mains Powered
This handy PSU can be used to make this EL Driver powered off of Mains Electricity (UK, US or Euro plugs are available)
7) Car Lighter Adaptor
This adaptor plugs into the car lighter socket. It is fused and ends with a 5.5mm/2.1mm jack plug so it can be used with any of our 12v Drivers or accessories
8) 2 way Splitter for 12V Power Input (5.5mm)
If you're thinking of running two of these units off of one power source, then get yourself one of these splitters.
Please note this is a Splitter from the Battery to the Driver, so you would only need one Battery pack for 2 x Drivers.
Most people also use Splitters that come from the Driver to the EL Wire (so you only need 1 x Driver for many EL Wires) - you can get those types of EL WIRE SPLITTERS HERE
