Description
PX178 is designed to control lamps or voltage LED strips. This is the most
advanced driver of its kind offered by the PXM company. The driver has been
placed in a housing with a width of 9 standard rail modules and equipped with
a color display. This allows the user to program and control the device
intuitively. The built-in DMX receiver allows for control of 6 channels (e.g. 2 x
RGB) by directly using the DMX protocol. The wide supply voltage range and
high output current-carrying capacity (7.5A) enable the user to control large
numbers of LED diodes. In addition, the driver incorporates an over-current
protection device, a temperature protection device preventing driver
overheating as well as a DMX line surge protection device.
You can control the PX178 using DMX signals or it can operate
independently. In such a case, you can choose from 8 fully programmable
scenes and 8 programs, and, in relation to these scenes and programs you
can vary playback speed and step transition smoothness. Thanks to the use
of 16-bit resolution, parameter adjustment in individual channels is fully
variable. The driver has a real time clock that allows to set power on and off
times for the LEDs controlled, which is particularly suitable for advertising
sign light systems. Besides, the built-in astronomical clock feature, using the
current date, the co-ordinates of the driver installation location and its
position relative to universal time (Greenwich UT), automatically sets driver
output turn on and off times, on a 24-hours basis, in accordance with
astronomical sunrise and sunset times.
