PXM PX173 User manual

  • Hello! I'm a chat assistant and I have reviewed the user manual for the PXM DMX Merger PX173. This document provides information on how to use the device to combine two DMX signal inputs into a single output. It covers the device's connection, basic control elements, safety guidelines, and programming options. I'm ready to answer your questions about it.
  • What is the power supply requirement for the device?
    What type of cable should be used for connecting the DMX signal?
    What is the maximum operating temperature?
