- The wireless DMX network is now set up and the units are paired. The assignment of the receiver to the transmitter is kept memorized even after switching off.
As soon as the transmitter receives a DMX signal, the status indicator switches to red. Shortly afterwards, the status indicator of the receiver starts flashing green to indicate that the DMX signal is being received.

INSTALLATION

Placing transmitter and receiver

INSTALLATION

For successful linking, the following requirements should be met:

Keep the transmitter and receiver as close as possible during pairing.
The maximum distance between the transmitter and receiver is dependent on the ambient conditions. To optimize range and performance maintain a line-of-sight between the transmitter and receiver and position the devices at least 1 m above the audience, trees and other obstacles.

Mounting
Find a suitable location for the receiver and if necessary, fasten it using the mounting brackets. Make sure that the pressure compensation element does not face up.

Notes

This device is dust-tight and protected against splash water from any angle, making it suitable for outdoor use. It designed for temporary use, however, in the context of events and not for permanent outdoor use.
The seals and screw connections of the equipment must be checked regularly to ensure a fault-free operation. In cases of doubt, consult a specialist workshop in due time.

Suspended installation

WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Devices in overhead installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down. Make sure that the device is installed securely and cannot fall down. The installation must be carried out by a specialist who is familiar with the hazards and the relevant regulations.

The device may be fastened to a truss or similar rigging structure via the Omega holder. The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.

The rigging structure must support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures to be installed on it.
Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform when installing the device.
Use rigging hardware that is compatible with the structure and capable of bearing the weight of the device. Please refer to the “Accessories” section for a list of suitable rigging hardware.
Screw a coupler onto the Omega holder. Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the Omega holder into the respective holes on the underside. Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise.
Secure the device with a safety bond or other secondary attachment. This secondary safety attachment must be sufficiently dimensioned in accordance with the latest industrial safety regulations and constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails. Use the holes in one of the brackets for fixation of the safety bond. Fasten the safety bond in such a way that, in the event of a fall, the maximum drop distance of the device will not exceed 20 cm
After installation, the device requires inspections periodically to prevent the possibility of rot, deformation and looseness.
