LEDs. PX780 can be controlled by the DMX signal or it can work independently. In this operation mode, the user has access to a fully programmable stage and 18 default sequences for which can be also change the reproduction speed and the smoothness of transition of particular steps.
Safety conditions PX780 is a device powered with safe voltage 12 – 48V DC; however, during its installation and use the following rules must be strictly observed: 1. The device may only be connected to 12 – 48V DC with current- carrying capacity compatible with technical data.

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 PX780 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 PX780 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 PX780 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.

In such a case, try to restore the device to its default settings before sending the PX780 to the service center. If, after restoring to its default settings, the device still does not operate correctly, please send it to our service center.
Error message The device is equipped with a built-in memory work control function. If there are problems with the memory operation on the PX780 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.
PX780 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 PX780 and later, directly from DMX OUT pins to the next device in DMX chain.
