The PX184 driver is intended for LEDs control. The built-in DMX signal receiver allows to control 3 

channels  (R,  G,  B)  through  DMX  protocol. The  wide  range  of  feeding  voltage  and  high  load 

capacity allow to control great number of LEDs.

The PX184 can be controlled with DMX signal or operate independently. In such case the user 

has at disposal a fully programmable scene and 18 factory-defined sequences, for these the user 

can adjust the playing speed and step-to-step fading smoothness.

The  driver  makes  it  possible  to  set  the  frequency  of  the  PWM  control  signal  ("flicker  free" 

technology). Thanks to this, it is particularly useful in applications for the television industry.

Because LEDs from the RGB series often differ in parameters, it may cause problems getting a 

white colour from the RGB channels. That is why PX184 is equipped with a feature known as 

"white balance".

 Thanks to it you can adjust the color control of each module, with full power to 

achieve the color white. What's more, this feature allows to some extent also adjust the color 

temperature of white color.

In addition, the driver is equipped with a temperature sensor output and support of RDM protocol 

(starting from serial number 14290020). The temperature sensor support enables the reduction 

of power diodes according to the temperature measured in the lamp.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

2. SAFETY CONDITIONS

The  PX184  LED  Driver  3  x  700  mA  /  48V  is  a  device  powered  with  safe  voltage  up  to  48V; 
however, during its installation and use the following rules must be strictly observed:

1. The device may only be connected to 12 - 48V DC (stabilized voltage) 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 DMX signal can only be made with shielded conductor.
5. All repairs and connections of outputs or DMX signal can only be made with cut off power 

supply.

6. The PX184 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.
