12 – 48V DC power supply allows to control large amounts of LEDs supplied with 350mA current. PX745 can be controlled by the DMX signal or it can work independently. In this operation mode, the user has access to a fully programmable scene and 18 default sequences for which can also change the reproduction speed and the smoothness of transition of particular steps.
PX745 has also been equipped with a function of temperature power output limit and connectors for connecting a temperature sensor. Safety conditions PX745 is a device powered with safe voltage 12 – 48V DC; however, during its installation and use the following rules must be strictly observed: 1.

NEXT 5.3 Individual DMX address settings The PX745 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.

5.5 No DMX signal response This function is used both to protect the installation against the DMX signal loss and to obtain control over LEDs without connecting an external controller. Once it is activated, if there is no DMX signal the module will realize a desired function independently.

Step 4 5.7 Master / Slave function The PX745 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 color on the RGB series LEDs. This may be a result of using diodes with different technical parameters. For this reason, the PX745 module is equipped with a white balance function. This option allows for choosing a correct color temperature...

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.
NEXT 5.12 Temperatures limits and sensor failure PX745 has been equipped with a function that limits the output power depending on the temperature value read using the external sensor mounted in the lamp. This allows for programming a temperature value which, if reached, limits the power or disables the lamp supplied by the driver.

PX745 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 PX745 and later, directly from DMX OUT pins to the next device in DMX chain.
RDM – available parameters The PX745 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.
