  • Page 4: Description

    Description The PX370 driver is designed to control LEDs. Built-in DMX receiver allows for controlling 4 channels (R, G, B, W) directly with the DMX protocol. Wide range of power supply voltage and high current carrying capacity outputs permit a control of large quantities of LEDs. PX370 can be either controlled by DMX, and act independently.

  • Page 5: Safety Conditions

    Safety conditions PX370 Driver LED C.V. 4 x 5A is a device powered with safe voltage 7 – 24V; however, during its installation and use the following rules must be strictly observed: 1. The device may only be connected to 7 – 24V DC with current-carrying capacity compatible with technical data.

  • Page 9: Group Dmx Address Settings

    Group DMX address settings The menu of the PX370 driver allows for setting the DMX address within a range between 1 and 505 – 511 depending on work mode of device. For example in RGBW mode it occupies four consecutive DMX addresses. If start address is set to 509, the last channel is occupied by address 512.

  • Page 10: Individual Dmx Address Settings

    Individual DMX address settings The PX370 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.

  • Page 14: No Dmx Signal Response

    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.

  • Page 18: Master / Slave Function

    10 Master / Slave function The PX370 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 19: White Balance

    11 White balance 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 PX370 module is equipped with a white balance function.

  • Page 20: 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 21: 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 24: 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 25: 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.

    17.1 Restore default settings To restore the device to its default settings, press and hold the previous key while switching on the device. One of the messages that will be displayed will say dFl, which means successful restoring to default settings (the previous key has to be held down while powering on the device, until the dFl message is displayed).

  • Page 28: Display Flip Function

    18 Display flip 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.
