4.2 Conexión

1. Connect the DMX512 Wireless Transmitter to the DMX output of your DMX controller.
2. Connect each DMX512 Wireless Receiver to the DMX input of your DMX-compatible lighting fixtures.
3. Plug the provided power adapters into each transmitter and receiver unit, then connect them to a power source.

4.3 Pairing (ID Code Matching)

The transmitter and receivers must be set to the same ID code to communicate. The units use tricolor LED indicators to display the selected ID code.

1. Press the button on the transmitter to cycle through the 7 available ID codes. Observe the color of the LED indicator.
2. For each receiver, press its button until the LED indicator matches the color of the transmitter's LED.
3. Once the colors match, the transmitter and receiver are paired. Repeat for all receivers.

4.4 Encendido

After connecting and pairing, ensure all units are powered on. The LED indicators will show a solid color (matching the selected ID) when a stable connection is established.

5. Operación

5.1 Selección de canales DMX

The system supports 7 groups of ID codes, each represented by a different LED color. This allows for multiple independent DMX universes to operate in the same area without interference. Ensure your DMX controller and all associated lighting fixtures are configured to the correct DMX channels within the selected wireless ID group.

5.2 Transmisión de señales

The transmitter continuously broadcasts DMX signals to all paired receivers. The 2.4G frequency hopping technology automatically selects the clearest channel, minimizing interference and ensuring a stable connection. There is no noticeable time delay during data transmission, providing real-time control of your lighting.

5.3 Multiple Receiver Setup

One DMX512 wireless transmitter can control multiple DMX512 wireless receivers simultaneously, as long as they are all set to the same ID code. This allows for flexible and scalable lighting setups.

6. Mantenimiento

• Limpieza: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the units. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Almacenamiento: Guarde las unidades en un lugar fresco y seco, alejado de la luz solar directa y de temperaturas extremas cuando no estén en uso.
• Manejo: Evite dejar caer o someter las unidades a impactos fuertes, ya que esto puede dañar los componentes internos.

7. Solución de problemas

• No Signal/Lights Not Responding:
  • Ensure the transmitter and all receivers are powered on.
  • Verify that the transmitter and all receivers are set to the same ID code (matching LED color).
  • Check all DMX and power cable connections.
  • Confirm that your lighting fixtures are DMX512 compatible and correctly addressed.
  • Reduce the distance between the transmitter and receivers, or clear any obstructions.
• Intermittent Signal/Lag:
  • This can sometimes be resolved by power cycling the transmitter and receivers.
  • Ensure no other 2.4G wireless devices are causing significant interference nearby.
  • Check for any physical obstructions that might be blocking the signal path.
• El indicador LED no se enciende:
  • Verify the power adapter is securely connected and receiving power.
  • Try a different power outlet or adapter if available.
