INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Connectors 4, 5, 6 and 9, 10, 11 indicated in the diagram on the facing page make up two
sets of low-voltage cage clamp connectors (one set for each zone). These connectors can be wired
to the optional Autopilot External Equipment Relay (EER1). The EER1 can power external devices,
such as heaters, air conditioners, etc. The On connectors turn on external equipment (e.g. an air
conditioning unit) during “lights on” settings. The Off connectors turn on external equipment (e.g.
a dehumidifier) during “lights off” settings. The Hot connectors can turn on external equipment
during overtemperature events.
MULTIPLE BALLAST SETUP
To set up the PX1 for multiple ballast use, plug one end of an RJ12 to RJ12 data cable (included with
compatible ballasts) into the jack marked Lamp (connector 3 in the diagram on the facing page) for
Zone A. Insert the other end into the single-jack side of the included RJ12 splitter. Then insert the RJ12
plug of the included RJ12 to USB adapter cable into one of the two jacks in the double-jack side of
the splitter, and insert the USB plug of that adapter cable into the USB jack of the first ballast in your
ballast group.
Each additional compatible ballast you purchase will also include another splitter, RJ12 to RJ12
cable, and RJ12 to USB adapter cable. The second ballast and every subsequent ballast in this zone
will be connected in exactly the same way as described above, except that each new RJ12 plug will
be inserted into an open jack on each new splitter to expand the trunk line up to 256 ballasts (see
diagram below).
Physical setup of ballasts in Zone B is exactly as described above for Zone A. As the first step, plug one
end of a RJ12 to RJ12 data cable into the jack marked Lamp (connector 8 in the diagram on the facing
page) for Zone B.
NOTE: We recommend that you keep all ballast power cords unplugged while connecting the
ballast group together with the USB/RJ12 cables. Once the connections have been made and
double-checked, connect the ballast power cords to the power source.
