The additional advantage is implementation of modern technology “flicker free” i.e. a possibility to select frequency of 1.3kHz. Applying it, the PX863 driver can be successfully used in installations created for the needs of the television industry. Moreover, the RDM protocol was implemented in the PX863.
Safety conditions The PX863 is a device powered with safe voltage up to 12V DC; however, during its installation and use the following rules must be strictly observed: 1. The device may only be connected to 12V DC (stabilized voltage) with current-carrying capacity compatible with technical data.
DMX signal connection PX863 must be connected to DMX line in series. This means that DMX IN terminals in the device must be provided with a driving cable, and then from DMX OUT connector the driving cable must be provided to other DMX receivers.

6.3 Operation mode The PX863 driver can work in the effect mode (EFF), the 36-channel one (36) or the 36-channel plus dimmer one (36d). In order to select the mode, enter Cbn function and then select 36 for the 36-channel mode or EFF for the 4-channel mode (effect) and confirm with the key "enter".

6.6 Frequency of PWM signals The Frq function allows you to set the base frequency to drive LEDs. This function is extremely useful for applications in the television industry. By using the "flicker free" technology, you can avoid an unpleasant image flicker effect caused by a lack of appropriate synchronization of LED driving signal.
6.7 Minimum level of brightness The function of setting the minimum level of brightness (OFS) has been implemented in the PX863 device, which can be set in the range 0 – 100. The way it functions is presented in the diagram below:...
Sometimes, there may be problems achieving white color on the LEDs of RGB series. This may be due to the use of diodes with different technical parameters. For this reason, the PX863 module is equipped with a white balance function (bAL). This option allows you to select the proper color temperature for the full control of all outputs (white color) in the range of 0 –...
NEXT 6.10 Temperature The PX863 was equipped with the possibility to check the temperature inside the device. If the temperature exceeds 70°C, there is a linear limitation of the device power until the outputs will be switched off completely when the temperature reaches 90°C.
• ENTER In order to make use of this option, disconnect the PX863 from the mains supply. Before reconnecting it to the mains supply, the key "prev" should be pressed and held. Then, after switching on the message dFI will appear on the screen of the device (while turning the power supply on to the moment of displaying the message dFI the key "prev"...
Err message – memory error The device is equipped with a built-in memory work control function. If there are problems with the memory operation on the PX863 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.

RDM description of available parameters The PX863 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.
