  • Page 4: Description

    Windows ® or Linux operating systems. PX333 sends 64 DMX-512 channels and has 3 OC outputs with a load capacity of 1500mA each, allowing for direct control of LEDs. DMX output channels can be divided into 16 zones controlled independently.

  • Page 5: Safety Conditions

    Safety conditions PX333 is a device powered with safe voltage 12 – 24V DC, however, during its installation and use the following rules must be strictly observed: 1. The device can be connected to 12 – 24V DC (stabilized voltage) with current-carrying capacity compatible with technical data.

  • Page 7: Operation Of The Controller

    Operation of the controller PX333 allows to save 32 scenes and 8 programs with 64 steps each. Scene – a static set of values at the output channels for which rise time, duration and fall time are given Program – a set of consecutive scenes. For the program, it is possible to set the speed, the master program and smoothness of transitions between steps.

  • Page 8: Network Settings Of The Controller

    The controller has the ability to save a list of scenes and programs. They are used to start the selected scenes and programs in a given order using a single control button. Scenes and programs can be listed in any order; what is more, the list elements can be repeated.
  • Page 9 In automatic mode (DHCP), after connecting to the network the controller attempts to get the network configuration from a DHCP server (e.g router). Thanks to this, manual configuration of networks parameters is not needed. In the absence of a DHCP server on the network the controller will operate according to the static configuration (manual setup).
