Description The PX809 lamp has been designed to illuminate stages and for use in TV studios. Uni-Flood has a built-in system for tuning the frequency of the control signal ("flicker free" technology), which prevents the flickering effect in TV cameras. It is controlled by the DMX signal.
Safety conditions The PX809 is a device powered directly from power grid 100 – 240V AC, what may result in electric shock in case of not following safety rules. During its installation and use the following rules must be strictly observed: 1.

Programming the device The device has two modes for changing parameters. Basic (in the absence of DMX signal – the so-called No Signal), allowing to change the brightness and color temperature of the light using the buttons (parameter selection) and knob (value change), and the advanced one, used to change other operating parameters such as: DMX address, smoothing, etc.
5.1 Basic device control mode Basic mode that is responsible for the scene in the absence of DMX signal (so-called No Signal). First, the device is controlled by the DMX signal. In case of its disappearance or absence, the device is controlled by buttons and knob –...
5.2 Advanced parameter change mode 5.2.1 Description of information parameters Information parameters displayed on the device screen may be: current brightness, color temperature and DMX address, model, device operation time (PWR – total operation time, ACT – active operation time), version of the software installed in PX809 and serial number.
5.2.2 DMX address In PX809 it is possible to change the address of both channels at the same time (2ch DW Basic operating mode) or separately for the channel controlling the brightness and color temperature of light (2ch DW Adv. operating mode).

5.2.5 Temperature limit The module is factory fitted with a temperature sensor, in addition it is possible to connect an external NTC 4K7 thermistor. After exceeding +80°C the module will start to limit the output power. After exceeding +90°C it will start operating with a maximum power of 10%. The external sensor works very similarly to the sensor in the driver, but the power reduction is already at +75°C and is also linear to 10% at +90°C.

In the device menu, it is possible to read the temperature in the PX809 and on the external sensor. Additionally, if the external sensor is not connected, the temperature has been exceeded or is short-circuited, an error is displayed – the temperature symbol °C flashes on the main 10.2% °C 2700K...
5.2.6 Screen saving The device has been equipped with the ability to turn off the screen backlight and diode. This is possible with the Screensaver option. Thanks to its use, the display and DMX diode are turned off after ~20 seconds (from the moment of not pressing the buttons / using the knob).
PX809 default settings: No Signal: 25% / 2700K (basic control mode) • DMX Addr.: 001 • Smooth: Level 4 • Control Mode: 2ch DW Basic • • Screensaver: Enabled 5.2.8 Setting the display contrast If the device has a problem with the readability of messages displayed on the screen, it is possible to change its settings.
DMX signal connection 1. The recommended cable for the connection is RS485 (two wires in a shield). 2. Devices must always be connected in series. 3. To split the DMX line, use the Splitter DMX (e.g. PX716). 4. For more devices (over 32) or long distances (more than 300 meters) use DMX Repeater (e.g.
