WSRXF
WIRELESS DMX RECEIVER
OWNER’S MANUAL

DESCRIPTION

The WSRXF is a compact RF receiver unit which can receive a DMX-512 lighting control signal from a compatible wireless DMX transmitter or wireless equipped DMX controller. The received DMX signal is available on a 5-pin Female XLR connector for a connection to a normal wired DMX system. The WSRXF is supplied with an external power supply and an antenna.
The WSRXF operates with a single specific compatible wireless DMX transmitter or controller at a time. Receiver units get the same information they would get using a cable connected to a DMX lighting console.
Multiple WSRXF receivers may be operated with a single transmitter or controller.
The wireless system uses the 2.45 GHz band and operates at low power (< 100mW). The operating range is approximately 1400 ft. indoors and about 4000 ft. for outdoor operation. This range could vary significantly depending on the surrounding conditions.
A link between one or more WSRXF receivers and one compatible transmitter unit is invoked to enable wireless operation. The linking operation is performed at the transmitter. Once linked, the receiver(s) can operate ONLY with that specific transmitter. The link is retained even when the receiver(s) and/or transmitter are powered off. Receivers may be released from the link either at the transmitter or at the receiver(s). If released at the transmitter then ALL linked receivers will be released. If unlinked at the receiver then ONLY that receiver will be released.

INSTALLATION

POWER CONNECTION
The WSRXF is powered by an external 120VAC power supply which provides 12VDC at 1Amp to the unit. The power connector on the unit is a 2.1mm male socket.
When using a DC power supply, the center pin must be POSITIVE. It can be powered by another source if it meets the requirements marked on the WSRXF.
Connect the power supply to any convenient 120VAC outlet. Then connect the 2.1mm plug to the WSRXF.
ANTENNA CONNECTION
Carefully thread the antenna on the gold antenna connector on one end of the unit. It should be finger tight only. The connectors can be damaged or jammed if too tight. The antenna will swivel to a convenient orientation while connected.
DMX OUTPUT CONNECTION
Connect the DMX signal cable to the 5 Pin Female XLR connector, on the end of the WSRXF.
Connect the other end of the cable to a normal DMX Dimmer or dimmer chain.

OPERATION

LINK CONTROL BUTTON
This pushbutton switch is used to release the link with its current transmitter.
STATUS INDICATOR LED
The indicator shows the status of the unit as follows:
OFF………………NO POWER OR NOT LINKED
SLOW FLASH…..LINKED – NO DMX
FAST FLASH……LINKING IN PROGRESS
ON………………..LINKED and RECEIVING DMX
LINKING RECEIVERS
Links are always performed at the transmitter. Links will not be established with receivers already linked to another transmitter device.
You should begin by unlinking the receiver at the receiver itself since it could be linked to a transmitter other than the one you have.
At the transmitter – Push the link control button once (do not hold down). The indicator LED will go to fast flash for about 10 seconds. It will then go to an ON state.
The link indicator on the WSRXF receiver will also go to fast flash and may continue this for several more seconds after the transmitters indicator goes to ON.
The link indicator on the receiver will go to an ON state when the link is stable with DMX present
UNLINKING A SINGLE RECEIVER
At the receiver – Hold the link control button down for about 5 seconds.
The receiver indicator LED will go OFF showing that no link is active.
UNLINKING ALL RECEIVERS AT THE TRANSMITTER
At the transmitter – Hold down the link control button down for about 5 seconds.
The transmitter indicator LED will go to slow flash showing that no links are active.
The receiver unit(s) status indicator will go OFF.
Note: Receivers linked to a different transmitter will not be released.
