I am guessing here a bit as I don't have a PCY150S.  If you have a
multimeter I can tell you how to check if the pad is working. 
However, while all the inputs can accept dual zone pads, only inuts 2,
6 and 7 are compatible with 3 zone pads on the DTXpress II, so make
sure you are using one of those.  Also, you need to tell the module
you have a PCY150 in the trigger edit menu for the input you are using.
