External Antenna

For optimum range and reliability, the Zylight Remote requires the use of the
included external antenna. The antenna can be attached and removed from the
Remote by turning the knurled locking ring at the base of the antenna. The
antenna can be swiveled and tilted during use to a convenient position. The
Remote has an approximate transmit range of 66-feet [20-meters].

Belt Clip

A removable belt clip is included for convenience in securing the Remote during
use. To attach the belt clip, simply slide the slotted tabs of the belt clip into the
receptacle on the back of the Remote. To remove the belt clip, depress the
metal tab between the belt clip and the Remote body, and slide the belt clip out
of the receptacle.

Non-slip Feet

Four non-slip rubber feet are included to provide a sturdy base for desk-top use
of the Remote. To use them, simply peel the feet from their backing and place
them into the four round recesses on the bottom of the Remote.

DMX Operation

The Zylight Remote includes the capability to control up to ten banks of Zylights
wirelessly via DMX. Simply plug the Zylight Remote into a DMX controller and
set up the DMX channels as indicated on the facing page.

The Zylight Remote uses a total of 110 DMX slots. Each ZyLink channel uses
11 DMX slots, and all 10 ZyLink channels can be controlled by the Remote
simultaneously. Within the 110 DMX slots the first 11 slots correspond to ZyLink
channel 1, the second 11 to ZyLink channel 2, etc.

To change the DMX start address of the Remote, press and hold the DMX
Channel button while adjusting the start address with the top thumbwheel. The
start address can be set from 1 to 411. The DMX start address cannot be
changed while the Remote is in standalone mode (DMX not connected).

The Zylight Remote is a terminated device, and must be placed at the end of a
DMX chain. It is internally terminated with a 120-ohm resistor and does not
include a DMX output port for daisy-chaining. The Remote conforms to the
DMX512-A and DMX512 (1990) protocol standards.

The Zylight Remote automatically switches into DMX Slave mode when a DMX
plug is connected to the Remote. In this mode, the Remote will not function as a
handheld controller; it only accepts commands via DMX.
