DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ Description The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ is especially designed for controlling RGB LED- Stripes. The dimmer has 9 High-Resolution PWM-Outputs (3xRGB) independently controllable via DMX. 9 Outputs The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ has 9 outputs to which LEDs can be connected. All outputs are designed in the same way so single color, RGB or RGBW LEDs can be connected.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ Data sheet Power supply: 7-24V DC 100mA@12V / 150mA@24V (without connected LED load) LED voltage: 7-24V DC (no AC voltage !) Protocol: DMX512 DMX channels: 9 channels with 8Bit-controlling and LookUp-Table 18 channels with 16Bit-controlling + optional Master-Dimmer-Channels DMX-FAIL: Hold / 0%-100% Output:...

DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ CTRL-Output (Energy-Save) The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ has a CTRL control output (Energy-Save), which can shut down the load power supplies for the LEDs. If no output is controlled for 5 minutes or all DMX values are set for 5 minutes to 0, the control output will be shut down.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ Cable Lengths The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR should be run with short 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. The cable cross section should be all the larger as the distance increases and the load increases.

DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ Menu Guide Various menu items are shown via the display, which can then be set using the buttons The menu item is displayed with a letter abbreviation followed by the set value. The letter abbreviations are assigned as follows: DMX-Startadresse Personality Fail-Mode...
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ DMX-Address Via the RDM parameter DMX_START_ADDRESS or directly at the device under menu A the start address can be set. By pressing the buttons the start address can be set in a arrange of 1 and 512. is pressed held, the start address increases or decreases until the button is pressed.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ DMX-Fail Behavior The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ has a DMX-FAIL function keeping the last switching state (HOLD) or set the predefined switching state to the set value. In case of DMX fail the behavior can be set via the RDM parameter DMX_FAIL_MODE or directly at the device in the menu F.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ Personality 1: 9Ch. Dimmer In this operation mode each output is controlled with one DMX channel (8Bit). For each output there’s a free programmable dim curve (LookUp table / Curve definition) available, which displays the 8Bit-DMX value to the 16Bit solution of the output.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ Personality 5: 9Ch. Dimmer 2kHz In this operation mode a 2kHz PWM output frequency and a linear control for the outputs is used. Start address Personality 6: 9Ch. Dimmer 2kHz + Master Additionally, to Personality 5, the first DMX channel is used as master dimmer for all 9 outputs.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ Personality 9: 9Ch. Dimmer 16Bit In this operation mode each output is controlled with two DMX channel (16Bit). For each output there’s a 16Bit resolution available, directly displayed via the DMX values. Every output uses 2 DMCX channels. The 2. DMX channel is the fine adjustment.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ Personality 13: 9Ch. Dimmer 4kHz In this operation mode a 4kHz PWM output frequency and linear control is used for the outputs. Start address Personality 14: 9Ch. Dimmer 4kHz + Master Additionally, to Personality 13, the first DMX channel is used as master dimmer for all 9 outputs.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ Personality 17: 4x CCT-Control The CCT mode is especially created for cold-white and warm-white mixed light percentage. Always, 2 outputs, one for cold-white and one for warm-white, are grouped. For these outputs the brightness is to set via the master channel and the mixing ratio via the CCT channel.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ SubDevice-Mode The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ has a start address within the standard mode, from which the channels are used in order. Each output is assigned with an own DMX address and a DMX-FAIL-Behavior within the SubDevice mode. The active RGB-Master-Dimmer is excepted. If it is active the start address as well as the DMX-FAIL-Behavior is set for each RGB group with master dimmer.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ Configuration of the dimming curve (Curve definition) The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR has a freely programmable dimming curve (look-up table / 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.

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. - Connect the DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR with a standard USB-Mini-B connection cable to PC.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ (from hardware V2.3) RDM is the short form for Remote Device Management. As soon as the device is within the system, device-dependent settings occur remotely via RDM command due to the uniquely assigned UID. A direct access to the device is not necessary.
