  • Page 4: Description

    Description Professional digital dimmer designed for fixed installations. The device depending on the model allow to control four or two independent circuits of 600W or 1200W loads each. It has built-in interference suppression system, signal lights, fuses, DMX-512 control and 0 – 10V input. There are also external control keys available that work in accordance with one of four built-in functions.

  • Page 5: Safety Conditions

    The control is possible by means of: DMX-512 digital signal, analog signals 0 – 10V or using external keys. Safety conditions PX156 dimmer is powered directly from standard 230V grid, what can cause electric shock when safety rules are not observed. Therefore it is necessary to observe the following: 1.
  • Page 6 8. After the installation is completed, check the neutralization efficacy of all powered devices. 9. All repairs demanding casing opening should be made with cut off power supply. 10. The device should be strictly protected against water and other liquids. 11.

    2. Individual parameters – Ind – each channel may be set with individual parameters, including individual DMX addressing. The same address may be set to more. Group parameters have a higher priority than individual parameters. This means that programming in the ALL mode, for example, the DMX address, cancels the previous settings for all channels.

  • Page 26: Connection Scheme

    To remove the device, press it from the top, and then tilt the bottom of the device towards you. Finally, moving the whole device up slightly can be removed. 11 Connection scheme MultiSystem Dimmer must be connected to the DMX line in series. That means, the control cable must be driven to the DMX coupling of the dimmer, and then driven out from the same coupling (refer to the scheme below) to the next DMX-512 signal receivers.
