DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR Cable lengths The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR should be run with shortest possible cable lengths. Because of the low operation voltage in LED installation the cable cross section is to choose as large as possible to keep the voltage drop as low as possible on the cable.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR DMX-Addressing The starting address is adjustable with the switches 1 to up 9. Switch 1 has the valency 2 (=1), switch 2 the valency 2 (=2) etc. until switch 9 has the valency 2 (=256). In total the switches showing ON correlate with the starting address.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR DMX FAIL action (from 06/2013 / Version 2) The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR can hold the last value, switch on or switch off the LED outputs on DMX fail. This DMX-Fail option is selectable with the Jumper. HOLD: Hold last value...
CTRL-Output (Energy-Save) (from 06/2014 / Version 2.1) The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR has an Energy-Save control output (CTRL) which is able to run off the Load Power Supply of the LEDs. If none of the outputs is activated for a period of 5 minutes or all DMX values are set to 0 for 5 minutes, the control output is switched off.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR Operation modes The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR has several operating modes that can be set using configuration switches 3 and 4: 9Ch. Dimmer 8Bit with dimming curve 9Ch. Dimmer 16Bit 9Ch. Dimmer 8Bit 2kHz (linear) 9Ch. Dimmer 8Bit 4kHz (linear) The operating mode (configuration switches 3 and 4) can be combined with the DMX master dimmer (configuration switches 1 and 2).
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR 9Ch. Dimmer 8Bit 2kHz (linear) (from FW V1.1) In this operating mode, each output is controlled with a DMX channel (8Bit). The output is controlled with 2kHz and a linear dimming curve. 9Ch. Dimmer 8Bit 4kHz (linear) (from FW V1.1) In this operating mode, each output is controlled with a DMX channel (8Bit).
/ curve definition) for each output. The received DMX-Channel has values from 0 up to 255 (8 bit). The DMX-LED- Dimmer X9HR output driver provides 65536 steps (16 Bit) which are assigned to the DMX values. So, it is possible to effect with small steps little brightness changings in the lower brightness range.

DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR Set dimming curve via USB To transfer the Look-Up Table to the DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR a PC-Connection cable and a USB-Connection at the PC is necessary. Via the software DMX-Configurator the LookUp-Tables can be defined. The DMX- Configurator is available for free as download.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR DMX-Master-Dimmer The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR has several Master Dimmer. These will be activated as follows: No Master Dimmer Master Dimmer for all channels Master Dimmer per RGB-group System Master Dimmer for all channels Master Dimmer for all channels The DMX channel which is adjusted as starting address will be used as master dimmer for all 9 outputs.
If the DMX start address is set via RDM, all address switches at the DMX- LED-Dimmer X9HR must be set to OFF ! A DMX start address set by the address switches is always prior ! This device supports the following RDM commands:...

DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR SubDevice-Mode In standard mode, the DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR has a DMX start address from which the DMX channels are used one after the other. In SubDevice mode, each output is assigned its own DMX address and DMX FAIL behavior.
No program is allowed to access the USB-Connection. Close the DMX-Configurator and USB-Updater before USB-Cable is connected to the DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR. Do not start the USB-Updater if the DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR is in its update-mode. If an error occurs during the update, you can start from beginning every time.
Factory Reset Before running the Factory Reset, read all steps carefully. To reset the DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR to delivery state, proceed as follows: Turn off device (disconnect power supply and USB connection !) Set DIP switch 1 up to 10 to ON Turn on device (connect power supply) The LED lights up 20x during ca.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR CE-Conformity This assembly (board) is controlled by a microprocessor and uses high frequency. In order to maintain the properties of the module with regard to CE conformity, installation into a closed metal housing in accordance with the EMC directive 2014/30/EU is necessary.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR Risk-Notes You purchased a technical product. Conformable to the best available technology the following risks should not excluded: Failure risk: The device can drop out partially or completely at any time without warning. To reduce the probability of a failure a redundant system structure is necessary.
