Description The PX282 driver is designed to control LEDs. The device has been placed inside DIN rail housing. The built-in DMX receiver allows for activating 3 channels (R, G, B) by using directly the DMX protocol. A wide range of supply voltage and a high level of current-carrying capacity (6A) enable activating large quantities of LEDs.
individual colors by the module enables achieving white colour at full activation. What is more, this feature allows for adjusting colour temperature of white output colour. Safety conditions PX282 LED Driver 3 x 6A OC is a device powered with safe voltage 12 –...

Individual DMX address settings The PX282 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. In such case, the same address must be assigned to all channels so that all outputs are controlled by one slider on the control panel.
Colour settings mode ENTER ENTER NEXT ENTER The PX282 driver can operate in different control NEXT modes. Depending on the selected mode, the device takes up a different numbers of channels, possible modes: NEXT The HSL mode (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) operates on three channels, responsible for hue, saturation and lightness NEXT The 3bd mode (4-channel, 4-byte) allows for setting each colour...

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 10 Master / Slave function The PX282 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). With 18 built-in default programs, it is possible to obtain interesting effects without an external controller.
With this solution, it is possible to make a precise synchronization even in very large installations without using an external controller. ENTER ENTER 3 x NEXT ENTER ENTER NEXT NEXT ENTER Con – turning on or turning oFF NEXT the Master feature Chn –...

ENTER ENTER 5 x NEXT ENTER NEXT NEXT PREV ENTER NEXT 13 Light control frequency The Frq function allows for setting the basic control frequency for the LEDs. This function is extremely useful in applications for the television industry. By applying the "flicker free" technology, it is possible to avoid the unpleasant flickering effect which is caused by improper signal synchronization that controls the LEDs.
ENTER 2 x NEXT ENTER NEXT 14 Screen saving (screen blanking) The device is equipped with a feature that allows for turning off the backlight. This option is marked with the SCr sign. With this feature, the display is turned off after about 60s (if the keys of the device are not pressed). Of course, the device continues its operation without interfering with other parameters.
15 CPU temperature The PX282 has a built in processor temperature measurement function. If the temperature exceeds 70°C, the temperature limitation is activated linearly decreasing the current on the outputs from the device. After reaching of the 82°C the total exclusion of all outputs is taking place. To check the current CPU temperature You should go to the "CPu"...
16.1 Restore default settings To restore the device to its default settings, press and hold the “prev” key while switching on the device. One of the messages that will be displayed will say dFl, which means successful restoring to default settings (the “prev” key has to be held down while powering on the device, until the dFl message is displayed).
16.2 Error message The device is equipped with a built-in memory work control function. If there are problems with the memory operation on the PX282 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.
17 DMX signal connecting PX282 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 PX282 and later, directly from DMX OUT pins to the next device in DMX chain.
18 RDM – available parameters The PX282 supports the DMX-RDM protocol. DMX protocol allows only of a one-way data transmission, while its extension the RDM protocol can transmit information in two directions. This makes possible to simultaneously send and receive information, and hence the possibility of monitoring activities of the compatible devices.
