Introduction
Spectra LED Driver is an Intelligent LED Driver Designed for Color Mixing Applications. This Application Note (AN3 Spectra Display & Keypad) provides technical information for the Display & Keypad Interface use. Spectra LED Driver can work with a Display user interface that can be used for the products set up and programming. The LED Driver adopts the standard DMX512A/RDM (see the AN4 Spectra DMX Communication). This document describes how to manage the Spectra LED Driver functions, by using the Display User Interface.
The Display Board & keypad (RHPS218) and the Display cable RHSM000229 are available as optional with the Spectra Models RSPT190-OPEN or RSPT190-BWOD and can be ordered apart, as explained in the Spectra Datasheet, Option Section. The RSPT190-BWD Spectra Model is equipped with the Display Board & keypad (RHPS218), see Fig.1.
The user interface showed in Fig. 1 gives a fast and friendly setting approach to all the SPECTRA functions. All the menu settings are manageable by the following three push buttons:
A 2x16 characters LCD display shows the day time and menu items, see Fig.2.

DMX delay is the period where SPECTRA maintains the last operating status when the DMX signal is absent.
Delay time can be set between 0 and 998 seconds. If set at UNL, SPECTRA will hold its status for an unlimited time. This function is indispensable in the event of the DMX signal being accidentally interrupted.
