PXM PX155 User manual

  • Hello! I'm a chat assistant, and I've analyzed the user manual for the PXM Dimmer PX155. I'm ready to answer your questions about this device. This dimmer is designed for professional use and provides control over four 600W circuits, offering features like DMX-512, 0-10V, and external key controls. I can also help with understanding its programmable control characteristics, voltage limiting, preheating, and more.
  • What type of control signals does the dimmer support?
    What kind of loads can the dimmer control?
    What is the purpose of the ACL parameter?
    What happens if the DMX signal is lost?
    Can I control the dimmer using external buttons?
    Is there a temperature protection for the dimmer?

Group parameters have a higher priority than individual parameters.
This means that programming in the ALL mode, for example, the DMX
address, cancels the previous settings for all channels.
