1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2. SAFETY CONDITIONS
PX282 LED Driver 3 x 6A OC is a device powered with safe voltage 12-24 V; however, during its
installation and use the following rules must be strictly observed:
1. The device may only be connected to 12 - 24 V DC with current-carrying capacity compatible
with technical data.
2. All the conductors should be protected against mechanical and thermal damage.
3. In the event of damaging any conductor, it should be replaced with a conductor of the same
technical data.
4. Connection of power supply can only be made with a conductor of minimum cross-section area
2
of 2,5mm and DMX signal with shielded conductor.
5. All repairs and connections of outputs or DMX signal can only be made with cut off power
supply.
6. PX282 should be strictly protected against contact with water and other liquids.
7. All sudden shocks, particularly dropping, should be avoided.
8. The device cannot be turned on in places with humidity exceeding 90%.
9. The device cannot be used in places with temperature lower than 2°C or higher than 40°C.
10. Clean with damp duster only.
The PX282 driver is designed to control LEDs. The device has been placed inside DIN rail
housing. The built-in DMX receiver allows for activating 3 channels (R, G, B) by using directly the
DMX protocol. A wide range of supply voltage and a high level of current-carrying capacity (6A)
enable activating large quantities of LEDs.
PX282 can be controlled by the DMX signal or it can work independently.
In such operation mode, the user has access to a fully programmable scene and 18 default
sequences for which he can also change the playback speed and the smoothness of transition of
particular steps. With the use of 16-bit resolution, controlling the parameters of channels is
completely smooth. Moreover, the driver offers an effect control mode which allows for controlling
the programs that are built into the device and, at the same time, changing such parameters as
speed, brightness and fade settings using the DMX-512 signal sent from an external controller.
The driver offers a built-in control signal frequency tuning system ("flicker free" technology),
which makes it useful in applications for the television industry. As LEDs from the RGB series
often differ in parameters, problems in receiving white colour may occur (triggering 100% at all
channels). This is why the PX282 has been equipped with a very useful feature called 'white
balance.' With this feature, each set of LEDs can be adjusted so that the control of individual
colours by the module enables achieving white colour at full activation.
What is more, this feature allows for adjusting colour temperature of white output colour.
The PX282 version equipped in 6A outputs and supporting RDM protocol
has been introduced to the production starting from 14260014 serial number.

6. MASTER / SLAVE FUNCTION
The PX282 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. However, in larger installations, several PX282
drivers implementing the same program cannot provide a full playback synchronisation.
Therefore, PX282 has a MASTER feature. When it is activated, the module changes from a DMX
receiver into a transmitter of this signal and sends programs to the other modules (which are set
as SLAVE). With this solution, it is possible to make a precise synchronization even in very large
installations.

In case when MASTER feature is active dot in the lower right corner starts to blink with 0,25 Hz
frequency. When the PX282 is receiving DMX-512 signal it starts to blink with 2-times bigger
frequency (0,5 Hz).
NOTE:
PX282 sends basically 3 channels - R, G , B, respectively, but because the DMX standard
specifies the number of channels being sent to a minimum of 24, these 3 basic channels are
replicated eight times; if need arises, it is possible to replicate them on 512 channels (not
recommended due to lower transmission rate).
5. DMX ADDRESS SETTING
The menu of the PX282 driver allows for setting the DMX address within a range between 1 and
506-511 depending on work mode of device. For example in RGB mode it occupies three
consecutive DMX addresses. If start address is set to 510, the last channel is occupied by
address 512.
To set the DMX address:
1. Set the Adr. function.
2. Use the "next" or "previous" buttons to set the selected DMX address.

8. COLOUR SETTINGS MODE
Sometimes, there can be problems with getting white colour on the RGB series LEDs. This may
be a result of using diodes with different technical parameters. For this reason, the PX282 module
is equipped with a white balance function. This option allows for choosing a correct colour
temperature for full activation of all 3 outputs (white colour).

4. on means that white balance is turned on.
oFF means that white balance is turned off.
The PX282 driver can operate in the effect (EFF), HSL, 4-channel,
3-channel or 2-channel mode. Desription of EFF mode is shown on next
page. The HSL mode (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) operates on three
channels, responsible for hue, saturation and lightness, respectively.
Working in the 3bd mode (4-channel, 4-byte) allows for setting each
colour individually: R (red), G (green), B (blue) and, on the fourth
channel, the Dimmer function is implemented - dimming all outputs. In
the 3-channel mode (3 -byte), each colour (R, G, B) can be set
separately. Whereas working in the 2-channel mode (2-byte) consists in
selecting lightness and one of the 256 colours defined by the
manufacturer.

9. INDIVIDUAL SETTINGS
The PX282 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-colour 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.

9
10. 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. Reconnecting the DMX
signal will automatically break the realized function and the module will once again follow the
commands transmitted via the DMX line.
To program individual settings:
1. Enter the individual settings function marked as Ind.
2. Go to the first output settings marked as Ad1.
3. Using the "next" or "previous" buttons set an appropriate value.
You can choose from 1 up to 512.
4. Set the address for the remaining outputs (defaults values are
subsequent values from 1 for the first output up to 7 for the
seventh output).

If you select the operating mode in the Cbn menu, which limits the number of channels in relation
to the maximum value, an individual address out of the range cannot be programmed.
For example, after selecting the 2b mode, a chosen value can be assigned only to addresses
1 and 2. For the rest from Ad3 up to Ad7, the device will display the message --- ; this means the
address is out of the operating mode range.

a program you are interested in. Then, click the „next” or „previous” buttons to set the FAd
parameter. Then, press the enter button and enter a chosen value between 0 (abrupt transition)
up to 100 (completely smooth transition) using the „previous” or „next” buttons. Confirm these
settings by pressing the „enter” button.

12. LIGHT CONTROL FREQUENCY
1 2
ENTER
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. The user can choose from the available frequency
range from 366 Hz up to 25.0 kHz which can be smoothly changed using the previous or next
buttons and selecting a different value.
The frequency value in the upper range (e.g. 1.50 = 1.5 kHz) helps to avoid the flickering effects
that are visible in video cameras.
To set the selected range of basic frequencies:
1. Set the Frq function.
2. Set the selected value using the „next” or „previous” buttons.

The driver is equipped with a smooth option. Smooth feature allows for smooth changes in
lightness and colour. 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" effect. Two consecutive DMX values sent to the lamp are
smoothed linearly between the DMX signal packets for the selected option or the time
interval set in the menu.
NEXT

ENTER The smooth function may slightly slow down the
lamp's response rate to changes in the DMX
signal; therefore, it is possible to disable this
option. This can be done by checking the
parameter and confirming the selection by
pressing “enter”.

16. EXCEEDING THE MAXIMUM LOAD
Driver has built-in protection against exceeding the permissible load of 6 A per channel. In the
case of exceeding the permissible load on the display starts to display a flashing sign r when the
load is exceeded on the R(red), G for channel G(green) and b for channel B(blue).
Starting from firmware version 2.03 there has been introduced an update that any overload or
short circuit on the output channel causes channel shut down and than a slow and smooth
transition to a previously predetermined value. The result of this is achieving of maximum at this
output (the channel to which might be connected e.g. LEDs) in about 15-20 seconds.

17. CPU TEMPERATURE
The PX282 has a built in processor temperature measurement function. If the temperature
exceeds 70°C, the temperature limitation is activated linearly decreasing the current on the
outputs from the device. After reaching of the 82°C the total exclusion of all outputs is taking
place. To check the current CPU temperature You should go to the "CPu" menu.
18. RDM
The PX282 supports the DMX-RDM protocol. DMX protocol allows only of a one-way data
transmission, while its extension the RDM protocol can transmit information in two directions.
This makes possible to simultaneously send and receive information, and hence the possibility of
monitoring activities of the compatible devices. Thanks to RDM some available settings of
compatible devices may be programmed using this protocol.

20. CONNECTION SCHEME
Due to use of passive-type DMX in the PX282 driver, a terminator is needed at the end of DMX
line. Such a solution allows to connect up to 32 of the PX282 drivers to a DMX controller (serial
connection).
The connections have to be made with wires of appropriate gauge. The proper connection lowers
the risk of damaging the driver and improves its reliability. For DMX signal connection use the
shielded conductors only.
CAUTION: In case of voltage loss on one of the modules in a chain, this one and the subsequent
modules will not respond to a DMX signal.
