Description The PX370 driver is designed to control LEDs. Built-in DMX receiver allows for controlling 4 channels (R, G, B, W) directly with the DMX protocol. Wide range of power supply voltage and high current carrying capacity outputs permit a control of large quantities of LEDs.
Safety conditions PX370 LED Driver 4 x 5A OC is a device powered with safe voltage 7 – 24V; however, during its installation and use the following rules must be strictly observed: 1. The device may only be connected to 7 – 24V DC with current-carrying capacity compatible with technical data.

ENTER NEXT Individual DMX address settings The PX370 module has an option that allows for changing individual settings. It enables assigning any DMX address to every output channel. The simplest example of implementation of this function is to control the lightness of one-color LEDs connected to all outputs.

Step 10 Master / Slave function The PX370 module has a built-in DMX-512 receiver and can be controlled from any desktop or controller running in this standard. Moreover, it is equipped with a programmable function of response to no DMX signal (noS).
Sometimes, there can be problems with getting white colour on the RGBW series LEDs. This may be a result of using diodes with different technical parameters. For this reason, the PX370 module is equipped with a white balance function. This option allows for choosing a correct colour...

In such a case, try to restore the device to its default settings before sending the PX370 to the service center. If, after restoring to its default settings, the device still does not operate correctly, please send it to our service center.
15.2 Error message The device is equipped with a built-in memory work control function. If there are problems with the memory operation on the PX370 display, the Err message appears – memory error. In this situation, select the “enter” key. The device will reload the default configuration and upload it to the memory.
PX370 have to be connected to DMX line in serial mode, with no branches on DMX control cable. That means that DMX line, from the signal source, must be connected to DMX IN pins of PX370 and later, directly from DMX OUT pins to the next device in DMX chain.
