Powering the Remote
The Remote is turned on or off by using the power toggle switch on the right
side of the Remote. Move the switch up to turn on the Remote.
The Remote includes an internal rechargeable NiMH battery giving up to eight
hours of standalone (non-DMX) operation. To extend battery life, the Remote
should be turned off when not in use.
To charge the Remote’s battery, you may plug in a Zylight Z90 or Z50 AC
Adapter into the DC jack, or you may plug in a standard mini-USB cable into the
USB port. The other end of the USB cable must be connected to a compatible
USB port on a computer, and that computer must be turned on. The Remote
will accept any power supply from 6-20VDC and requires 500mA to charge
properly. The power toggle switch will light up red to indicate the Remote is
charging. When charging is complete, the red light will turn off.
Please note that battery operation in DMX mode is discouraged and will
significantly shorten the run time of the Remote. It is advised to power the
Remote via AC adapter or USB while operating in DMX mode.
Standalone Mode
To use the Remote in standalone mode, simply turn on the power toggle switch
on the right side of the Remote. The Remote will display an interface identical to
a Zylight Z90. Operate the Remote as you would another Z90 in ZyLink mode.
Be sure ZyLink is enabled on the lights you wish to control, and the Remote is
set to the same ZyLink channel as the lights: Z90s have ten ZyLink channels to
choose from, while Z50s always communicate on channel 1. [See the Zylight
Z90 or Z50 Instruction Manuals for specific information on ZyLink
operation.]
Please note: The Remote will not respond to ZyLink commands sent from
other lights. Also, due to the wireless functionality of the Remote, ZyLink mode
cannot be disabled on the Remote as it can on our lights.
Fader Operation
The Remote includes Faders to smoothly transition a Z90 from one setting to
another. The Faders are controlled using the left two Fader Preset buttons on
the top of the Remote. Note: Z50 lights are not compatible with Faders.
