OmniSistem WiDMX Transceiver - Manual (Page 22)

7.1 TX BACKUP MODE
TX BACKUP mode is intended for use as an immediate backup unit in case of failure
during an event.
This mode works exactly the same as TRANSMITTER mode, but data encoding is
made using the key of another transmitter.
In the event of faiure of the original transmitter, the unit set as TX BACKUP can
generate the same signal as the original and then receiver will work without having to
be paired again.
DO NOT operate the original transmitter and a backup unit togeter as they will inter-
fere each other!
- How to set TX BACKUP mode:
Remove power from Wi-DMX unit
Press and hold SET key (fig.55)
Power up Wi-DMX, then release SET
On display appears as in (fig 57):
Use UP or DOWN key, find TX BACKUP
Press SET key to confirm
- How to 'clone' a transmitter:
When in TX BACKUP mode, Wi-DMX can store
up to 10 different configurations, so it will be
ready to backup one of 10 original transmit-
ters.
Before 'cloning' a transmitter, select where you
want to save its data:
Using MODE key (fig.56), find SELECT CLONE: Ta on display (fig.58)
Press SET for more than 2 seconds, Ta starts blinking
Using UP or DOWN key, select one of Ta to Tj available settings
Press SET key to confirm
Now you can 'clone' your Wi-DMX transmitter unit. You can do that using the origi-
nal transmitter or using a Wi-DPen receiver that has previously been paired with it.
With the original Wi-DMX transmitter unit:
Remove any DMX cable from both Wi-DMX (the original TX and the BACKUP)
Connect a DMX cable between the two units
On Wi-DMX TRANSMITTER, using MODE key, find PAIR RECEIVER on display
(fig.60)
(don't press SET yet)
On Wi-DMX TX BACKUP, using MODE key, find CLONE PAIRING on display, then
press SET for more than 2 seconds, PAIRING:READING...appears
(fig.61)
On Wi-DMX TRANSMITTER, press SET for more than 2 seconds, 'P PA AIIR RIIN NG G:: W WA AIIT T...'
appears (fig.62)
After a few seconds a result of the operation is given; if like in (Fig.63) on both units, pairing suc-
ceeded; else the message of (Fig.64) appears.
