PropX-Outdoor Quick Start

Open the case, pair your PropX-Outdoor over USB-C, close it back up, and wire power, audio, outputs, and inputs — before it ever sees weather.

Nine steps — indoors, on a bench, before you install anything outside. Weatherproof installation lives in the setup guide.

Before you start, you’ll need

  • Your PropX-Outdoor controller
  • A 9–24 V DC power supply
  • A prop or light drawing under 1.5 amps
  • A small flat screwdriver or similar tool, to open the case
  • A USB-C cable
  • A computer with Bluetooth and the PropX Control Center app
  • Time: about 10 minutes

⚠️ Warning: Never use a power supply above 24 volts.

The nine steps

  1. You'll see: the app's main window.

  2. Open the case: push a screwdriver or a flat, narrow tool into the slot and pry outward to release the cover.

    HOW TO OPEN THE CASE: insert a tool into the slot, then pry outward from right to left to release the cover

    You'll see: the board exposed inside.

  3. Connect a USB-C cable to the board's USB connector to power it up.

    Insert a MicroSD card now too, if you want more storage than the 32 MB built in.

    You'll see: nothing — the Outdoor has no status lights.

  4. Wait at least 5 seconds, then hold the DEFAULT button for 5–10 seconds.

    You'll see: nothing on the board — but it's now in pairing mode, advertising over Bluetooth.

  5. In the app, click Scan.

    You'll see: your controller as PropX-Outdoor- plus your serial number.

  6. Click Add next to your controller.

    You'll see: it connects — no PIN needed.

  7. Disconnect the USB-C cable, then close the case: fit the board back into the enclosure.

    You'll see: the enclosure reassembled, ready for wiring.

  8. Wire up Connector B (black) — power and trigger inputs.

⚠️ Warning: Never connect or disconnect wires on Connector A or B while the power supply is plugged in.

Done. Test every output and trigger from the app, then close and latch the lid — the setup guide covers taking it outside.
