DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ 4
Description
The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ is especially designed for controlling RGB LED-
Stripes. The dimmer has 9 High-Resolution PWM-Outputs (3xRGB) independently
controllable via DMX.
9 Outputs
The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ has 9 outputs to which LEDs can be connected. All
outputs are designed in the same way so single color, RGB or RGBW LEDs can be
connected.
High Power Outputs
The outputs can drive a current up to 10A.
So it is possible to connect a maximum load of 120W (12V) / 240W (24V).
0% to 100% dimmable
The connected LEDs are dimmed by PWM from 0% to 100%.
For voltages from 12V up to 24V
The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ operates with supply voltages from 12V up to 24V.
The LED voltage can be different per output so that one DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR
can control different LED systems.
DMX-FAIL Function
An adjustable DMX FAIL function offers the option to get in case of lost DMX signal
the current state (HOLD) or to adopt a predefined value if the DMX signal fails.
DMX-Master Dimmer
Optionally, another DMX channel can be activated as Master Dimmer (all outputs) or
one master dimmer per RGB group. The global master dimmer is fixed at DMX
address 1 and can be used as system master dimmer.
Adjustable dimming curve
The dimming curves can be configured individually for each output.
RDM support
The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ allows configuration by RDM via DMX.
SubDevice-Mode
Within the SubDevice Mode, each output is assigned its own DMX address and DMX
FAIL behavior via RDM.
Touch-Control
The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ is designed with 3 touch fields for operation and a
7-segment display.
RGB-Status display
Via a RGB status display the DMX reception is shown.
Firmware-Update-Function
To use future functions, the DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ offers a firmware update
function.

CTRL-Output (Energy-Save)
The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR+ has a CTRL control output (Energy-Save), which
can shut down the load power supplies for the LEDs.
If no output is controlled for 5 minutes or all DMX values are set for 5 minutes to 0,
the control output will be shut down.
So, the power dissipation for power supplies that are not needed for a longer period
can be avoided.

Cable Lengths
The DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR should be run with short 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.
The following cable lengths should not be exceeded:
From power supply to DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR 1m
From DMX-LED-Dimmer X9HR to LEDs 10m
