The Autopilot PX2 Advanced Lighng Controller provides precision photoperiod control of
up to 512 xtures in two independently controlled zones, all from one centralized locaon.
Designed to work with any controllable Phantom or Core HID xtures, as well as PHOTOBIO LED
xtures, the PX2 can control 512 digital HID xtures (256 per zone), or 100 analog LED xtures
(50 per zone). The PX2 oers the exibility to operate both zones analog or digital, or one zone
analog and the other digital. With this versale, dual-zone conguraon, growers can ...
• Optimize spectral treatments by checkerboarding lighting technologies within the same
environment (e.g., HPS with CMH, LED with CMH)
• Save power by checker boarding identical fixtures while reducing output to one of the zones
during the light cycle within the same environment
• Alternate rows and zones within the same environment
• Enhance uniformity by independent control over perimeter versus interior of the
environment
Powerful features, precise and independent controls
The PX2 provides independent control of the following features in each of its dual zones:
• Photoperiod timing to control light and dark cycles
• Photosynthetic photon flux control to precisely schedule the PPF being emitted from fixtures
during the light cycle (wattage or percentage)
• Auto-dimming when temperature exceeds set points
• Emergency auto-shutdown of lights upon user-defined over-temperature events
• Configurable restrike delay times to eliminate lamp-damaging hot starts
• Sunrise/sunset simulation settings to provide a gradual ramp-up and down at both ends of
your photoperiod
• Built-in battery backup
Two dedicated temperature sensors, one for each zone
These sensors provide real-me data for automated temperature-based dimming, as well as
a high temperature shutdown feature that protects your garden. The PX2 eliminates inrush
current and replaces tradional lighng contactors, reducing infrastructure investment.
Updated locking signal and data cables
All cables are shielded from electromagnec interference to ensure uncompromising signal
reliability and communicaon.

INSTALLING THE PX2
1. Securely wall mount the PX2 at eye level outside
the growing environment, using the provided
screws and mounng holes.
2. Plug the power adapter into an outlet and connect
the other end to the PX2 power supply port (A –
see image above). Ensure threaded connecon is
ght.
3. Plug the temperature probes into the
corresponding ports (B, D) and run your probe
cables their full length up to and across the ceiling,
toward the center of the grow space. Suspend the
probes above the plant canopy. Take care not to
stress or damage the probe cables when securing
them to walls and ceilings.
4. Connect the zone signal cables (C, E).
IMPORTANT: A bare probe receiving direct light from a xture can cause premature dimming
and/or inaccurate temperature readings. When seng up the temperature probes, shield them
from exposure to direct light.

ZONE A SETUP
Presssto cycle through the following
opons: Zone A Setup; Zone A Output

NOTE: All sengs must be saved by
pressing for the controller to operate.
Pressing twice will take you back to
the ENVIRONMENT CONDITIONS home
screen. 45 seconds of inacvity will
automacally revert to home screen.
1. Press and enter the ZONE A menu.
2. Press to cursor through the values and highlight the value you want to change.
Press or to select the correct seng, then press to conrm.
Ensure zone Status is set to “OFF” prior to the inial me OUTPUT SCHEDULE programming

needed and the W or % will be followed by “OVRD”. Fixtures will revert to mer
schedule once next output me/seng is reached. Example: If manual override
is adjusted from 100% down to 60% at 7:45 PM, the display will be “Status: 60%
OVRD” and will remain unl the next “OUTPUT” signal is sent by the controller. If
“OUTPUT” at 8:00 PM is scheduled to send 100% signal, the xture will revert to
mer schedule.
Dim The temperature limit at which the lights will auto-dim.
Stop The temperature limit at which the lights will auto-shutdown.
Delay (0–30 min) Hot start prevenon to allow HID lamps adequate me to cool to
prevent lamp damage. For HID, minimum seng should be 15 min. For LED,
seng can be 0 min.
R/S (0–30 min) The me lights will take to gradually reach full power (R=sunrise) or

6. Repeat steps for ZONE B.
IMPORTANT ZONE OUTPUT SCHEDULE NOTES
• Output adjustments ONLY take eect according to OUTPUT SCHEDULE and clock seng.
• Enabling more OUTPUT SCHEDULE sengs is advisable for greater exibility.
• Sunrise and sunset (R/S) me seng can impact OUTPUT SCHEDULE. Ensure these two
sengs do not conict. Example: If R/S is set to 10 minutes, the ming between OUTPUT
SCHEDULE signals should be set no less than 10 minutes.
