PXM PX214 User manual

  • Hello! I've analyzed the user manual for the PXM AC Dimmer PX214. This device controls 12 independent channels with various configurable features. I'm familiar with the parameters, safety conditions and connection diagrams, and can assist you with any questions you have about its usage or setup.
  • How many channels does the dimmer control?
    What is the power capacity of each channel?
    Can I set different output characteristics for each channel?
    What happens when there is no DMX signal?
    Can the dimmer be powered by one or two phases?
    What kind of loads can dimmer control?
