1. General desription

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.

2. Safety conditions

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.
