General Information
The W-DMX system uses a 2.4 ghz radio signal to transmit DMX data. Spread-spectrum transmission
(AFHSS) technology prevents interference with the DMX signal from other
radio devices.
Range for the W-DMX is approximately 2300 feet using the standard antenna with a clear
line-of-sight. The signal will penetrate walls and other barriers, but the signal level will be reduced.
Human bodies tend to block the signal, so it is best to locate the transmitter and receiver above audience
areas.
W-DMX Link
Before use, receivers must be linked to a specific wireless transmitter. Once this link is established, the
receiver will respond to that particular transmitter until it is linked to a new transmitter. This
synchronization data is preserved when the power is turned off.
Setting up a RECEIVER:
The transmitter and receiver both use two simple controls, a momentary Status switch and an LED Link
indicator. The Receiver Link LED shows the following information:
•
OFF – Dimmer is not linked to any transmitter. DMX cable input can be used.
•
ON – Dimmer is linked to a transmitter, and receiving DMX data.
•
ON, short blink off – Dimmer is linked to a transmitter, but no data is being received.
•
On / Off flash – Dimmer was linked, but connection was lost.
