The PX163 is a 48-channel driver for RGB matrix systems.
Matrix Driver 48 x 500mA is perfect device to control of illumination of big areas composed of 
many modular elements. The facades - LED screens or illuminated floors can be used as an 
example.

A built-in DMX signal receiver enables to control all 48 channels using the DMX-512 protocol.
A wide range of power supply voltage (7 - 24V DC) and a high outputs load capacity (up to 0.5A 
per channel) allow to connect great number of LEDs and - what follows - achieve the effect of a 
steady  illumination  of  the  whole  surface.  By  dint  of  8-bit  resolution  the  control  of  particular 
channels  is  completely  smooth.  The  additional  advantage  is  implementation  of  a  high-tech 
solution - "flicker-free" control frequency, it allows to use the PX163 driver in the installations 
created for TV industry applications.

The  driver  is  manufactured  in  a  "common  anode"  version,  what  allows  to  connect  LEDs  on 
a common "+" wire. Small and flat casing of dimensions 158 x 140 x 35 mm is adapted for on-wall 
mounting. The terminal block connectors guarantee a quick and easy installation.

MATRIX DRIVER 48 x 500mA  powered with safe voltage 7-24V; however, during its installation 
and use the following rules must be strictly observed:
1.  Installation  of  equipment,  in  particular,  power  connection  should  be  made  by  a  licensed 

person, in accordance with this manual.

2. The device may only be connected to DC current (stabilized voltage) with current-carrying 

capacity compatible with technical data.

3. Product is designated only to indoor usage. In case of any outdoor usage it should be protected 

agains any weather conditions.

4. All the conductors should be protected against mechanical and thermal damage.
5.  In  the  event  of  any  conductor  damaging,  it  should  be  replaced  with  the  one  of  the  same 

technical specification.

6. Connection of DMX signal should be made with shielded conductor.
7. All repairs and connections of outputs or DMX signal can only be made with power off.
8. PX163 should be strictly protected against contact with water and other liquids.
9. All sudden shocks - particularly dropping - should be avoided.
10. The device cannot be turned on in places with humidity exceeding 90%.
11. The device cannot be used in places with temperature lower than +2°C or higher than +40°C.
12. For cleaning use only a damp cloth.
