DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX CTRL-Output (Energy-Save) The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX has an Energy-Save control output (CTRL) which is able to run off the Load Power Supply of the LEDs. If none of the outputs is activated for a period of 5 minutes or all DMX values are set to 0 for 5 minutes, the control output is switched off.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX Cable Lengths The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX 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.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX DMX-Addressing The starting address is adjustable with the switches 1 to up 9. Switch 1 has the valency 2 (=1), switch 2 the valency 2 (=2) etc. until switch 9 has the valency 2 (=256). In total the switches showing ON correlate with the starting address.

DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX RGB-LED-Display The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX is designed with a RGB-LED display showing the device status. Power supply not connected RED lights No DMX-Signal GREEN lights The device works normally A DMX-Signal is detected BLUE flashes The device works normally...
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX DMX FAIL Action IN case of DMX failure (DMX FAIL), the DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX can hold the LED outputs at the last value, switch off all LED outputs or switch them all on. The action in the event of DMX failure is set via the RDM parameter DMX_FAIL_MODE.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX 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 X9HRX Personality 5: 9Ch. Dimmer 16Bit In this operating mode, each output is controlled with two DMX channels (16Bit). Each output has a 16-bit resolution, which is shown directly via the DMX values. Two DMX channels are used for each output. The second DMX channel is fine adjustment.
OUT4 CCT group 3 OUT5 OUT6 CCT group 4 OUT7 OUT8 In sum the DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX has 4 independent CCT groups taking the outputs 1 up to 8. Output 9 can be controlled via a single DMX channel. Start address...
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX Configure the Dimming-Curve (Curve Definition) The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX has a free programmable dimming curve (Curve Definition) for each output. The received DMX-Channel has values from 0 up to 255 (8Bit). The DMX-LED- Dimmer X9HR output driver provides 65536 steps (16Bit) which are assigned to the DMX values.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX 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.
