1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PX387 SwitchDimm DMX Controller is a device powered with safe voltage 12-24 V; however,
during its installation and use
the following rules must be strictly observed:
1. The device can be connected to 12-24 V DC (stabilised voltage) with current-carrying capacity
compatible with technical data.
2. All the conductors should be protected against mechanical and thermal damage.
3. In case of damage to a conductor, it should be replaced with a conductor of the same technical
parameters.
4. Connection of DMX signal can be made with a shielded conductor only.
5. All repairs, connecting and disconnecting of cables can only be made with cut off power supply.
6. The device should be strictly protected against contact with water and other liquids.
7. All sudden shocks, particularly dropping, should be avoided.
8. The device cannot be turned on in places with humidity exceeding 90%.
9. The device cannot be used in places with temperature lower than +2°C or higher than +40°C.
10. Clean with damp cloth only.
The PX387 driver was designed to cooperate with the PX314 dimmer as an extension module,
but it can be used independently as a DMX signal controller.
The device sends 512 channels which are controlled on the ON/OFF basis or continuously with
the use of the slider. It is possible to check which channels are currently enabled and disabled.
PX387 allows you to create 16 zones to which you can assign any channel, determine their order
and define the size of the displayed buttons. It is possible to define the following two accounts in
the driver (administrator and user), which differ in the level of access to different functions.
The LAN connection is used to communicate with the environment. In this way, the PX387 can be
connected to the Accesspoint and thus controlled using the Android™ smartphone.

4. NETWORK SETTINGS OF THE CONTROLLER
The controller stores the static network configuration. It is always used when static addressing
mode was selected or in automatic addressing mode, when it was not possible to get the
configuration settings from the DHCP server.
The controller can run in one of the two modes:
ź Automatic addressing: DHCP ţ
• Static addressing: DHCP ¨
In automatic mode (DHCP), after connecting to the network, the controller attempts to get the
network configuration from a DHCP server (e.g. router). Thanks to this, manual configuration of
network parameters is not needed. In the absence of a DHCP server on the network, the
controller will operate according to the static configuration (manual setup).
When choosing static addressing, you should configure network parameters in such a way that
the controller is able to operate on the subnet and there is no conflict of IP addresses (devices in
the network must have unique IP addresses).
The default network settings of the controller:
DHCP: Włączone ţ
IP: 192.168.0.50
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gate: 192.168.0.1
Should the controller operate in automatic mode in the network and receive IP address from the
DHCP server, the detaching of the network cable will result in the loss of IP address and another
attempt to get the new IP address from the DHCP server. If that fails, the controller switches to
operate with a static configuration.
It is recommended to use automatic addressing and connect the controller to the network with a
running DHCP server.
Should the controller be connected directly to the computer (no DHCP server), you must
manually set the network parameters of both the computer and the controller to operate in one
network.

The application can be installed on Android 4.0 or later.
To install software:
1. Upload *.apk installation file available on the CD supplied with the device or downloaded from
the PXM website to your phone.
You can also download the app from the Google Play store using a QR code:
5. SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

2. Go to your phone settings and then check “Allow installation of apps from sources other than
the Play Store ” in the [Security] tab.
3. Open the application through the system [File Manager].
The new software installation screen appears. The screen displays information on the
entitlements required for the application to operate.
4. To install the application, press the "Install” button.
After a successful installation process, the application will be available in the application menu of
the phone.

After running the application, the following options are available on the screen:
6. START OF OPERATION
„offline” mode
Wi-Fi network selection
list of the selected network drivers with
which the user can connect, driver IP
address
NOTE: The application has access to smartphone network settings and enables the Wi-Fi
function when running the application.
For more information about the device, press and hold the tile with its name. Information will be
displayed in a new window:
change of settings of DHCP protocol, IP
address, MASK and gateway address

6.1. Information about the device and change of network settings
refreshing the list of available drivers
[Mac] - MAC address (unique for each
network device)
[Mask], [Gateway] - current network
parameters of the driver
[Serial] - device serial number
[Firmware], [Bootl.] - firmware version and
driver bootloader
It is possible to edit network settings. For this
purpose press . The program displays the editing
window in which it will be possible to change:
[Controller name] - the maximum length of a new
name is 16 characters
[Auto-use DHCP] - if the function is selected,
address will be automatically assigned from a DHCP
server, if not – a static address will be used
[IP address], [Network mask], [Gateway address]
- static network parameters of the driver

Click in the edit box to display the keyboard cache. The settings will be saved after you select
and provide the administrator password.
It is also possible to exit the tab without changing the settings after selecting the [Back]
pushbutton on the phone .
After selecting the device with which the application is to be connected, the phone displays a
request for password. The default administrator password is blank.
The procedure for setting the administrator and user passwords is described in chapter 9, page
14.
The application can also be used offline (without having to log in to the driver). The offline mode is
in the menu available under the smartphone menu pushbutton. Should the device not be
equipped with the pushbutton, the application displays an additional button on the main
toolbar. In offline mode, the user can create a configuration and save it in phone memory.
NOTE: Only one user can be connected to the driver at a time. If another user is logged into the
driver, the attempt to log in as an administrator will log off the previous user. The attempt to log in
as a user will fail. If logged in user is inactive for 5 minutes, it will again be possible to log in as a
user.
