5. DEVICE PROGRAMMING After you switch on the module, its display shows the program version for a brief moment. To access the main menu, press „enter”, and the display will show Adr. Press „previous” or „next” to select the appropriate menu and press „enter” to confirm your selection. 5.1.
5.3. Colour mode enter enter next This driver can operate under various control modes. Depending enter on the mode selected, the device will occupy different numbers next of DMX channels. The following modes are available: next Ÿ HSL mode (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is available on 3 DMX channels, responsible for hue, saturation and lightness of output channels, respectively;...
5.4. Reaction of the device to DMX signal interruption This function is used both to protect the system against disappearance of DMX signal and to gain control of LEDs without connecting an external driver. After it has been activated, in case of the lack of DMX signal, the module will perform the selected function by itself.

DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAMS The following tables show the values for each output channel - R, G, B in programs from 1 up to 18 (P01 - P18). The value of 255 corresponds to the maximum lightness level on a given channel, 127 - 50% of power level, 0 - full channel blanking.
5.5. MASTER / SLAVE function The PX254 module has a built-in DMX512 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.

5.8. Light control frequency The Frq function allows for setting the basic control frequency. This feature is extremely useful for controlling lamps 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.

Default settings and memory error If you have any difficulty accessing the device menu, e.g. it is not possible to enter a particular menu level or it is necessary to restore the device to its default settings, follow the instructions below.
5.12. RDM description of available parameters The PX254 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.

6. CONNECTION SCHEME PX254 features passive DMX and thus a maximum of 32 PX254 devices can be connected to one DMX line without using a DMX repeater. At the end of the line, a DMX line terminator (120 Ohm resistor) must be connected (to the last device). Connections must be made using cables of suitable thickness.
