(12 – 48V DC) and high current-carrying capacity (max. 700mA) enable controlling high numbers of LEDs. The PX783 can be controlled the DMX signal and it can work on its own. In this case, the user has a fully programmable scene and 18 pre-programmed sequences for which the playback speed and smoothness of step changing can be freely set.
Safety conditions PX783 is a device powered with safe voltage 12 – 48V; 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.
9. The device cannot be used in places with temperature lower than 2°C or higher than 40°C. 10. Clean with damp duster only. Connector and control elements display programming keys PX783 4x700mA OUT W control outputs DMX input power supply...

NEXT 5.3 Individual DMX address settings The PX783 module has an option that allows for changing individual settings. It enables assigning any DMX address to every output channel. The simplest example of implementation of this function is to control the lightness of one-color LEDs connected to all outputs.

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 PX783 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 RGBW series LEDs. This may be a result of using diodes with different technical parameters. For this reason, the PX783 module is equipped with a white balance function. This option allows for choosing a correct color temperature...

NEXT 5.12 Temperatures limits and sensor failure PX783 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 PX783 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 PX783 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.
PX783 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 PX783 and later, directly from DMX OUT pins to the next device in DMX chain.
