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.
The control is possible by means of: DMX-512 digital signal, analog signals 0 – 10V or using external keys. Safety conditions PX155 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.

Each subsequent short press of a key, when the function performs the LAS parameter, causes the parameter time to be counted from 0 (reset the elapsed time). The value of this parameter is taken into account only in the fourth function. The other three are ignored. 6.3.5 Function five (ACL) Button A...

10 Assembly of the device View of the back of the device Movable catch Handle On the back of the device there is a handle with a movable catch, which enables quick and convenient placement of the device on the T35 mounting rail.
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.
