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 12 – 24V DC; however, please observe the following safety rules during its installation and use: 1. The device mat be connected to 12 – 24V DC with current-carrying capacity compatible with technical data.

To set characteristics for all channels: 1. From the boot menu, enter the ALL group setting menu. 2. Press enter again to be able to change settings for all channels. 3. Select Cur with the next button, this will allow to change the dimming characteristics of the channels.
To set characteristics for all channels: 1. From the start menu, enter the group settings menu Ind. 2. Use the next or prev buttons to select the output channel and click enter. 3. Select Cur with the next button, this will allow to change the dimming characteristics of the channels.
Available parameters: Lin – linear characteristic 4 – 20mA, • S_P – switching characteristic (on / off), • uSr – user-defined characteristic, linear, ranging from Min to Max. The • minimum and maximum values can be set in the range from 4 to 20mA.

4.6 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 current. In order to start the smoothing function, enter the Sth option: 1.

In such a case, try to restore the device to its default settings before sending the PX292 / PX292-L0 to the service center. If, after restoring to its default settings, the device still does not operate...
4.9.1 Restore default settings To restore the device to its default settings, press and hold the previous key while switching on the device. One of the messages that will be displayed will say dFl, which means successful restoring to default settings (the previous key has to be held down while powering on the device, until the dFl message is displayed).
4.9.2 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.

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.
