Description PX292 is used for processing DMX-512 signal to analog 4 – 20mA. In addition to DMX signal decoding, PX292 allows to program unit reaction to loss of DMX signal. Individually programmable parameters allow for independent definition of a DMX address from the range 1 – 512 for each channel.
Safety conditions PX292 is a device powered by low voltage equal to 24V DC; however, please observe the following safety rules during its installation and use: 1. The device mat be connected to 24V DC with current-carrying capacity compatible with technical data.

Programming After switching on, the display shows the version of the program. During the normal operation of demultiplexer, the display shows DMX address. Press enter to go the main menu, the display shows ALL. Press prev or next to select the programming menu (ALL, Ind, noS) and press enter to confirm.
4.1.1 Setting of DMX address PX292 menu allows to set DMX address of the device in the range from 1 to 505. In order to set DMX address: 1. Set the Adr function 2. By using next or prev set the selected DMX address. In order to accept the setting, press enter.
NEXT 4.1.3 Programming of individual parameters PX292 device has the option of individual settings. It allows to assign each of the eight output channel with any DMX address. It is possible after selecting Adr. DMX address can be selected within a range from 1 to 512.
4.2 Response to the loss of DMX signal This function is used both to protect the system against the disappearance of DMX signal and to gain a specific state on outputs. After it has been activated, in case of a lack of DMX signal, the module will perform the selected function by itself.

(completely fluid transition). It is possible to reduce the number of program steps, for this purpose, for this purpose, in step which should be last and after this step followed first step, select the on option in the End menu. In each of the four scenes, you can program the values of each of the eight output channels separately in the range from 0 to 255.
4.3 Smoothing function The device also has the smoothing option. Smoothing allows for smooth color changes. When this option is enabled, switching between successive DMX values sent to channels is smooth, which prevents abrupt changes in voltage. In order to start the smoothing function, enter the Sth option : 1.
4.4 Screen blanking The device has been equipped with the option of switching off backlight of the screen. This is provided by the SCr option. By using it, the display is switched off approx 60 seconds of inactivity (button unused). The device still operates without interfering with other parameters.
In such a case, try to restore the device to its default settings before sending the PX292 to the service center. If, after restoring to its default settings, the device still does not operate correctly, please send it to our service center.
4.5.2 Error message The device is equipped with a built-in memory work control function. If there are problems with the memory operation on the PX292 display, the Err message appears – memory error. In this situation, select the enter key. The device will reload the default configuration and upload it to the memory.
Installation on the mounting rail: 1. Set PX292 diagonally to the rail by hooking the two supports on the rear panel of the unit on the upper part of the assembly strip. 2. Pull the latch down using a screwdriver.

RDM – available parameters The PX292 supports the DMX – RDM protocol. DMX protocol allows only of a one-way data transmission, while its extension the RDM protocol can transmit information in two directions. This makes possible to simultaneously send and receive information, and hence the possibility of monitoring activities of the compatible devices.

PX292 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 PX292 and later, directly from DMX OUT pins to the next device in DMX chain.
