Page 4: Description
Description PX254 driver is designed to control the LEDs. Built-in DMX receiver allows to control 3 DMX channels. (R, G, B) directly with the DMX protocol. Wide range of power supply voltage and high current carrying capacity outputs (6A) permit a control of large quantities of LEDs. -

6. PX254 should be strictly protected against contact with water and other liquids. 7. All sudden shocks, particularly dropping, should be avoided. 8. The device cannot be turned on in places with humidity exceeding 90%. 9. The device cannot be used in places with temperature lower than 2°C or higher than 40°C. -

Page 10: Individual Dmx Address Settings
Individual DMX address settings The PX254 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. In such case, the same address must be assigned to all channels so that all outputs are controlled by one slider on the control panel. -

9.1 Description of programs The following tables show the values for each output channel (R, G, B) in programs from 1 up 18 (P01 – P18). The value 255 corresponds to the maximum lightness level on a given channel, 127 – 50% of power level, 0 –... -
Page 16: Master / Slave Function
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 10 Master / Slave function The PX254 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). With 18 built-in default programs, it is possible to obtain interesting effects without an external controller. - Page 17 function is active, this is indicated by a fast flashing of the DMX signaling diode. With this solution, it is possible to make a precise synchronization even in very large installations without using an external controller. ENTER ENTER 3 x NEXT ENTER ENTER NEXT...

Page 18: White Balance
11 White balance 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 PX254 module is equipped with a white balance function. -
Page 19: Limiting The Output Power
12 Limiting the output power The white balance parameter, apart from its original functionality, can also be used to limiting the output power of the driver. It works linearly and in a percentage way limits the output power of a given channel. For example, if the bLr parameter is set on 50, it means that by the DMX control and no signal mode this value can not be exceeded. -
Page 20: Smooth
13 Smooth The driver is equipped with a smooth option. Smooth feature allows for smooth changes in lightness and color. When it is set to On the transition between successive DMX values sent to the lamp (e.g. corresponding to changes in lightness) are smooth with no visible twitches, which prevents the common light “vibrations”... - Page 21 NOTE! In the L0 version, the smoothing settings are presented below. Information whether the device is the L0 version is displayed during device start-up. By default, the Sth option is enabled at level 003. The options are: • Off – smoothing disabled, 001 –...

Page 23: Light Control Frequency
15 Light control frequency The Frq function allows for setting the basic control frequency for the LEDs. 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. -
Page 24: Screen Saving (Screen Blanking)
16 Screen saving (screen blanking) The device is equipped with a feature that allows for turning off the backlight. This option is marked with the SCr sign. With this feature, the display is turned off after about 60s (if the keys of the device are not pressed). Of course, the device continues its operation without interfering with other parameters. -

Page 27: Display Function
18 Display function As the driver should be installed (As far as possible) in a small distance from the controlled LEDs, the lack of space may force the necessity of mounting the device upside-down. In such case the displayed messages become illegible, that does not have the influence on device operation, but makes the programming much more difficult. -
Page 28: Dmx Signal Connecting
19 DMX signal connecting PX254 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 PX254 and later, directly from DMX OUT pins to the next device in DMX chain. - Page 29 List of RDM parameters supported by the PX254: Parameter name Description SUPPORTED_PARAMETERS 0x0050 all supported parameters description of additional PARAMETER_DESCRIPTION 0x0051 parameters DEVICE_INFO 0x0060 information concerning the device SOFTWARE_VERSION_LABEL 0x00C0 firmware version of the device DMX_START_ADDRESS * / DMX starting address of the device; 0x00F0 DMX_ADDRESS * Range 1 –...
