[SETUP FOR WIRELESS OPERATION]

Each unit has a wireless DMX transceiver on board. This means that every unit can be transmitter or receiver.
To set up the system, you first need to assign each receiver to the universe (transmitter) it should work with.
VERY IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE USE
Before you start using these wireless DMX units, you should know about the following some basic information. It will save you a lot of time and frustration:

• Connect a DMX-controller (switched on) to the transmitter before synchronizing receivers.

• Check information on the [ID-SET] button (11) and status led (14).
  o Status LED (14) WHITE : (RGB LEDs lit) unit is in setup mode or disconnected from any transmitter.
  o Status LED (14) BLUE : unit is in TRANSMITTER mode and connected to one or more receivers.
  o Status LED (14) BLUE (blinking fast) : unit (transmitter) is connecting to receiver(s).
  o Status LED (14) BLUE (blinking slow) : no DMX-signal present on transmitter
  o Status LED (14) GREEN : unit is connected to a transmitter
  o Status LED (14) GREEN (blinking slow) : unit receives no DMX-signal from transmitter.

• A receiver can only connect to a transmitter while it is completely disconnected (unpaired) : status led (14) is WHITE (RGB LEDs lit).

SETTING UP IN TRANSMITTER MODE (LED = BLUE)

• Keep the [ID] button (11) pressed while powering up the WIRELESS part of the ACCU-COMPACT projector by pressing the according button (12). The status LED (14) wille become WHITE (RGB LEDs lit) shortly, than turns BLUE, RED or GREEN (the last selected mode).
• Choose BLUE by pressing the [ID] button (11) shortly.
• Once BLUE selected, press the [ID] button (11) for 3 seconds to confirm the transmitter mode.
• The status LED will turn white (RGB LEDs lit) and after a few seconds turns BLUE (blinking if there is no DMX signal present).
• The unit is now in transmitter mode.

SETTING UP IN RECEIVER MODE (LED = GREEN)

• Keep the [ID] button (11) pressed while powering up the WIRELESS part of the ACCU-COMPACT projector by pressing the according button (12). The status LED (14) wille become WHITE (RGB LEDs lit) shortly, than turns BLUE, RED or GREEN (the last selected mode).
• Choose GREEN by pressing the [ID] button (11) shortly.
• Once GREEN selected, press the [ID] button (11) for 3 seconds to confirm the receiver mode.
• The status LED will turn white (RGB LEDs lit) and after a few seconds turns RED (fast blinking if there is no DMX signal present) or GREEN (when the receiver is paired with a transmitter).
• The unit is now in receiver mode.
• Release the receiver from any universe (transmitter) by pressing the [ID] button (11) for 5 seconds. The status led now turns WHITE. The unit is now ready to be paired with a transmitter.

PAIRING TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER(S)
First of all : prepare transmitter and receiver(s) as described above.
To connect your receiver(s) to a specific transmitter:
a) Make sure that the receivers to be connected are not linked to another transmitter: the status led (14) on these receivers should be WHITE (RGB LEDs lit).
b) Press the [ID] button (11) of the transmitter shortly; the status led (14) on both the transmitter (BLUE) and receivers (GREEN) starts blinking.
c) Wait until blinking stops: the receivers are now linked to the transmitter.
d) Check if the connection was made properly: press the [ID] button (13) on the transmitter again, the status led (14) on all linked receivers start blinking. Receivers linked to another transmitter will not blink.
DISCONNECTING RECEIVERS FROM A DMX UNIVERSE (TRANSMITTER)
To disconnect all the receivers from a DMX universe / transmitter:

• Press the [ID] button (11) of the transmitter for about 5 seconds until the status LED (14) turns RED, the status LED on the receiver(s) turn WHITE (disconnected).

• After a few moments the status LED (14) on the transmitter turns BLUE again.

• You can also re-connect the receiver(s) again simply by pushing shortly on the [ID] button (11) on the transmitter. (The status LED (14) on the receiver(s) turns GREEN again).
  To disconnect an individual receiver from a DMX universe / transmitter:

• Press the [ID] button (11) of the receiver until the status LED (14) is WHITE (RGB LEDs lit).

• This receiver is now disconnected from the transmitter (DMX universe).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

A. Standalone 1unit:

• Select one of the automatic modes or select a fixed color
• Select the static or sound control mode
• Refer to chapter [SETUP MENU] to learn how to make the previous settings.

B. Two or more units in master/slave setup:

• Connect 2 or more units together. Refer to the chapter “electrical installation” to learn how to do this.
• Set the slave mode for each projector except the first one. The first one must be set in DMX mode or in a show mode (for example : [FAdE])
• Turn on all units. The units will start working automatically and show the internal chase programs.

C. Controlled by IR remote-controller:
Switch on the projector (13). Push button [ON] on the IR remote controller. [Jr00] will appear on the display. You are now ready to use the IR remote controller.
When you turn the projector off with the IR remote controller, [Jr0F] will be shown on the display.
Before you can start using the projector with another controller you have to push one of the buttons under the display ([MENU]-[▲]-[▼]-[ENTER]). The projector will now be disconnected from the IR remote controller.
You can also use the IR remote controller with several projectors in Master- slave mode. Select the desired color, fade on the Master. The slaves will follow the instructions from the Master projector.

D. Controlled by universal DMX-controller with wireless DMX transmitter:

• Turn on all the projectors and put them in the desired channel mode. Refer to the chapter “Electrical installation for two or more units in wireless DMX-mode” to learn how to do this (don’t forget to address all units properly!)
• Turn on the DMX controller and its wireless DMX transmitter. Since each unit has its own DMX-address, you can control them individually. Remember that each unit uses 4 to 10 DMX-channels as shown in the DMX charts below:

DMX CHARTS

Mode 4CH:

Mode 5CH:

Mode 9CH:

Mode 10CH:

Mode LEdc: all pixels working together in RGB + MASTER DIM/SOUND/STROBE

MAINTENANCE

• Switch off the unit and unplug the mains cable.
  During inspection the following points should be checked:

• When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced.

• The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a small problem is detected.

• In order to protect the device from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be cleaned monthly.

• BATTERY maintenance: We strongly advice to follow the maintenance requirements imposed by the battery reseller. On top of that you should at least every 6 months:

• Do a visual check of the battery: cleanness, terminal damage, any damage of the housing, …

• Check the if the poles of the battery are still well tightened to the wires.
  Attention: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified personnel!

RECYCLING OF USED BATTERIES: used Li-Ion batteries should be considered and handled as dangerous waste. Each country has its own regulations for the recycling of used rechargeable batteries: check the local regulations in your country or ask your battery vendor for more information on recycling of the used rechargeable batteries!
