1.0 Introduction

Once a PXL primary controller has been added to the system you will then be able to add the PXL secondary controllers. The secondary controllers are connected to the PXL controller via an RS-485 network. You will not be able to add any secondary controllers until you have a primary controller online. Scanning for the secondary controllers is the quickest and easiest method and the controller models are detected automatically. A secondary controller is any PXL that is not addressed as #1.
