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. The cable cross section should be all the larger as the distance increases and the load increases.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX+ Status Display The integrated RGB status display is a multifunction display showing the device status. Status Display A001 .

DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX+ Settings Either the settings can be made via RDM or directly at the DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX+ via the 3 buttons at the 7 segment display. 7-Segment-Display Status Display A001 . Key Lock Button Button Button MENU Key Lock After turning on the DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX+ or if no button is pressed for ca. 15 seconds the key lock starts automatically and the set DMX start address is shown.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX+ Menu Guide Various menu items are shown via the display, which can then be set using the buttons The menu item is displayed with a letter abbreviation followed by the set value. The letter abbreviations are assigned as follows: DMX-Startadresse Personality Fail-Mode...
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX+ DMX-Address Via the RDM parameter DMX_START_ADDRESS or directly at the device under menu A the start address can be set. By pressing the buttons the start address can be set in a arrange of 1 and 512. is pressed held, the start address increases or decreases until the button is pressed.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX+ DMX FAIL Action The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX+ has a DMX-FAIL function keeping the last switching state (HOLD) or set the predefined switching state to the set value. In case of DMX fail the behavior can be set via the RDM parameter DMX_FAIL_MODE or directly at the device in the menu F.
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.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX+ Personality 9: 4x CCT-Control The CCT mode is especially created for cold-white and warm-white mixed light percentage. Always, 2 outputs, one for cold-white and one for warm-white, are grouped. For these outputs the brightness is to set via the master channel and the mixing ratio via the CCT channel.
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.

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+ Setting the output frequency The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX+ is able to generate several output frequencies on the LED outputs. The output frequency is to set via the RDM-Parameter MODULATION_FREQUENCY. The following output frequencies are available: 500 Hz 1000 Hz 2000 Hz 4000 Hz 8000 Hz...
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX+ Lock device settings The RDM parameters Lock Pin and Lock State allow or prohibit changing saved RDM parameters. Lock Pin The four-digit pin code number for the lock function can be set using the Lock Pin parameter. After entering the correct currently used PIN (Old PIN) in the RDM software (e.g. RDM Configurator), the new, desired PIN can be entered in the New PIN field and saved by setting the parameter.
DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX+ SubDevice-Mode In the standard mode, the DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HRX+ has a DMX start address from which the DMX channels are used in sequence. Within the SubDevice mode, each output is assigned with its own DMX address and DMX-FAIL action. The active RGB-Master-Dimmer is an exception.
