  • Page 4: Description

    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.
