DMX-LED-Dimmer XS3 For your own safety, please read this user manual and warnings carefully before installation. Soldering work may only be carried out by a certified specialist in order to prevent damage to the product and injury to people. If acidic or leaded solder, soldering grease or acidic flux etc. has been used for soldering and/or if the board has been improperly soldered, all warranty claims will be voided and no repair will be carried out.
DMX-LED-Dimmer XS3 Description The DMX-LED-Dimmer XS3 is designed to control RGB or single-colour LED-Stripes with 12V or 24V. 3 Outputs The DMX-LED-Dimmer XS3 has three outputs to connect LEDs. All outputs are designed at the same, so single-colour or RGB LEDs can be connected. High Power Outputs The outputs can drive a current up to 2A.
DMX-LED-Dimmer XS3 Data Sheet Power Supply: 12-24V DC 50mA without load LED Voltage: 12-24V DC corresponds to power supply (no AC voltage !) Protocol: DMX512 DMX Channels: 3 / 4 / 5 channels depend on Personality DMX-FAIL: Hold / 0%-100% / StandAlone Output: 3 PWM-Signals with 8 Bit resolution Common power supply...
DMX-LED-Dimmer XS3 Cable Length The DMX-LED-Dimmer XS3 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. The wire cross section should be all the larger as the distance increases and the load increases.
DMX-LED-Dimmer XS3 DMX-Addressing The DMX start address defines from which DMX channel the DMX-LED-Dimmer XS3 starts processing the DMX data. The DMX start address is to set via the RDM-Parameter DMX_START_ADDRESS. Color Sequence The colour assignment to the outputs can be set on the DMX LED Dimmer XS3. Thus, the DMX LED dimmer XS3 can be mounted directly in front of the LED stripe and the outputs can be configured to correspond with the used LED stripe.
DMX-LED-Dimmer XS3 DMX FAIL Action In case of DMX lost (DMX-Fail) the DMX-LED-Dimmer XS3 is able to hold the LED outputs on the last value, to use a predefined DMX value or to execute a user- defined program. The DMX Fail action is to set via the RDM-Parameter DMX_FAIL_MODE. After voltage drop the held values are not restored by the HOLD function.
DMX-LED-Dimmer XS3 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.

DMX-LED-Dimmer XS3 Create / Use user-defined light programs The DMX-LED-Dimmer XS3 has a user-programmable Stand-Alone-Function, to replay an internal program. The user-defined program can be executed after power-on of the device and in case of DMX signal lost (DMX Fail). The program can be created with the free DMX Configurator software and then transferred with the free software RDM-Configurator.

DMX-LED-Dimmer XS3 The program created in the DMX Configurator software must be saved in prg format (Project→Save as): Then the created program is ready to trans to the DMX LED Dimmer XS3 with the RDM Configurator via the UPLOAD_PROGRAM parameter.
DMX-LED-Dimmer XS3 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 XS3 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. Initiation risk: For the installation of the board, the board must be connected and adjusted to foreign components according to the device paperwork.
