PXM company. The PX252 is placed in a housing equipped with a color screen LCD. This allows to program and control of the operation of the device to run intuitively. DMX receiver allow to control up to 6 channels (e.g.
PC with Windows®. Safety conditions PX252 is a device powered with safe voltage 12 – 48V DC; however, during its installation and use the following rules must be strictly observed: 1. The device may only be connected to 12 – 48V DC with current- carrying capacity compatible with technical data.
8. The device cannot be turned on in places with humidity exceeding 90%. 9. The device cannot be use in places with temperature lower than +2°C or higher than +40°C. 10. Clean with damp duster only. Connectors and control elements Display Control buttons USB input...
Menu navigation Menu navigation is facilitated by programming keys. Each one is described on the right side and their use is as follows: – exits the currently programmed parameter without saving changes or moves us to a higher page in the menu (if we exit the context menu, the pressing of the escape button takes us to the Summary screen) –...
Below, there is the starting DMX address of channels that is occupied by the signal sent by the PX252. Then, the driver operation mode is presented, e.g. RGB. The operating mode options can be changed in the Driver operation mode menu.
Master ON/OFF – information on the master mode status. If turned • on, Master ON is displayed; if turned off, Master OFF is displayed. T1: N/A (23,4°C), T2: N/A (25,2°C) – temperature value read from the • sensors connected to the NTC1 or NTC2 inputs. If no sensors are connected, the following message appears N/A.
6.1 DMX address The DMX Address sub-menu displays currently set values of the DMX address for six available channels. By default, the device is set to the values shown below (controlling two RGB lamps on subsequent channels). To change the chosen value, select and confirm a given parameter using the enter button.

6.3 Channel balance This option allows for setting the modulation value of each of the six channels operated by the driver. It enables changing the maximum brightness of LEDs obtained on a given channel and thus determining the range of colors lit by the operated lamps.
To set the channel balance value of a given channel confirm the selected channel by pressing enter (the screen shown below will appear), then press “+” or “-” on the screen to set a value. After selecting an appropriate button confirm the selection by pressing enter.

Below, there is an astronomical clock calculated according to the data input in the Local settings menu and the date and time stored by the PX252 driver. The last two lines on the screen are the manually set time at which the options described above can be enabled and disabled.
mode. The slave mode allows for operation only as a DMX signal transmitter. 6.5 Program editing Program editing is a menu where parameters of programs and scenes, which individual programs are composed of, are custom set by the user. This option allows for setting the course of a particular program which will be used later if the driver operates in the no DMX signal mode.

As for the Program editing sub-menu, after selecting the scene display option by a lamp or group of lamps, in the simultaneous absence of an input DMX signal to the PX252 driver, the programmed scene is played continuously. The meaning of particular messages is described in the item 6.5 Program editing.

Remember to save your settings by selecting and confirm by pressing enter To change the values of the limitation temperatures for a given sensor, select an appropriate button on the screen and confirm it by pressing enter. A new screen with the temperature limitation value field will appear. To change the temperature follow the steps of the method described in the previous items of the instructions, e.g.
6.8 Date and time This menu allows for changing the date and time stored by the device. To do this, select an appropriate button “+” or “-” on the device screen below a corresponding value of time or date, and change it by pressing the enter button.
Remember to save your settings by selecting and confirm by pressing enter 6.10 Local settings Local settings are used to set the position of the device according to geographical coordinates (longitude and latitude) and the time zone in which the device operates. To set appropriate parameters, use the “+”...
6.11 PWM frequency The PWM frequency is a menu that allows for changing the LED refresh frequency from 287Hz or 1082Hz. Changing to a higher frequency activates the “flicker free” mode, which makes it possible to avoid an unpleasant flicker effect caused by improper synchronization of the LEDs control signal.
6.12.1 Break Time Allows to change the length of the interval between successive DMX packets. At the top of the screen To save the value before next to the option name leaving level up in menu are visible important you need to select floppy information that simplify disc button setting an appropriate...
6.12.5 Channels number Using this feature, it is possible to limit the number of channels sent from the PX252. The minimum value is 24 channels and the maximum is 512 (default).
6.13 DMX Out This menu allows for a graphical view of the DMX-512 signal which is sent by the PX252. DMX signal presentation method: The DMX signal value on a given DMX channel is represented as a white bar the height of which varies proportionally, according to the following...
6.14 Smooth The smooth option makes transition between successive control signal smoother, i.e. color in connected lamps. The menu enables setting the smoothing option in two versions : Package to package smoothing – the smoothing function proceeds in • a linear manner between successive DMX signal packages received by the driver Time smoothing –...
6.16 Connection test The Connection test menu makes it possible to disable the correctness of connection of outputs of the device during start of PX252. This function has been designed to protect the device against damage as a result of miswiring.
PX252 have to be connected to DMX line in serial mode, with no branches on DMX control cable. That means that DMX line, from the signal source, must be connected to DMX IN pins of PX252 and later, directly from DMX OUT pins to the next device in DMX chain.
