Packing list

Product Brief

Wireless DMX converter box is divided into transmitter and receiver, support full-channel DMX512 protocol wireless transmission, support automatic frequency switching, DC XLR DC power supply interface power supply. The wireless transmission distance reaches 500 metres under the condition of visibility, compact size, powerful function, easy to carry, stable signal quality.

Product Feature

DMX wireless transmission
Supports full-channel DMX512 protocol for wireless transmission.
500 metres transmission distance
The effective wireless transmission distance can reach 500 metres under outdoor visibility conditions.
Wireless Frequency
This system supports wireless frequency range of 863MHz-928Mhz, the product will set the corresponding frequency band according to different regions, and supports automatic jumping to the optimal frequency point when power on.
Connection Mode
Supports manual pairing and unbundling of transmitters and multiple sets of receivers at the same time, as well as pairing and unbundling of individual receivers and transmitters.

Caveat:

1. The effective transmission distance is related to the site conditions, wireless environment, and obstructions. This system does not guarantee that the nominal transmission distance can be achieved in any environment.
2. This system operates in the 863Mhz-928Mhz wireless band. If there are other 863Mhz-928Mhz wireless devices operating at the same time at the work site, it may interfere with the transmission quality of this system.
3. The quality of wireless transmission may be affected by the placement of the transmitter and receiver, height, angle, etc. If the wireless signal is unstable, please try to adjust the position to get a stable transmission signal.
4. During the use of this product, please adjust the antenna into a vertical state, and elevate the receiver, more conducive to the transmission distance and quality of wireless communication.

    Extinguish| Power disconnection
    Blue Breathing Light| Successful connection between receiver and transmitter with DMX data transmission
    Flashing| matched pair
    Slow flash| Successful connection between receiver and transmitter but no DMX signal transmission
    Cycle| paired but not connected state

Pairing method

1. Turn on the power of Radio lux transmitter/receiver, the “channel” light on the transmitter side is always on, and the “channel” light on the receiver side is a blue breathing light.
2. Short press the transmitter pairing button to enter the pairing mode, the receiver will be in automatic pairing mode in the case of unpaired, during the pairing process the channel lights of the transmitter and receiver will flash fast for 10 s. After pairing is successful, the channel lights will stop flashing fast.
3. Long press the transmitter pairing button to unbundle all the connected receivers, in the process of unbundling, the transmitter channel light first flashes for 5S and then lights up, and the channel light of the unbundled receivers is in the state of blue breathing light.
4. Long press the pairing button of the receiving end to unbind the current receiving end from the transmitting end, whether the channel light of the transmitting end is in the state of blinking and then always on during the unbinding process, and the channel light of the receiving end is in the state of blue breathing light.

Note:

1. To pair, simply press the pairing button on the transmitter side and the receiver side will automatically pair.
2. Ensure that the wireless device you are using has been paired and paired successfully during normal use.
3. If the channel light on the receiving end is not in the blue breathing light unpaired state you need to unpair before pairing.
4. The paired receiver and transmitter will be connected automatically after switching on the power, no need to pair again.

Mounting

1. Connect the DMX IN connector of the Radio lux transmitter to the DMX OUT of the light console.
2. Connect the DMX OUT connector of the Radio lux transmitter to the DMX IN of the fixture under test.
3. Connect the DMX OUT connector of the Radio Lux receiver to the DMX IN of the fixture under test.
4. Turn on the Radio Lux transmitter/receiver, the “Channel” light is always on. After the transmitter is connected to the DMX signal, the DMX IN signal lamp is always on in green and the SSI signal strength indicator lamp is always on in green.

Note:

1. After connecting the Radio Lux transmitter to the power supply, you need to turn the power switch on the product to “ON” in order to supply power.
2. If the Radio Lux transmitter is switched on and the RSSI signal strength indicator green light shows only one frame, it means that there is interference on the current channel and it is necessary to switch on and off the transmitter again for an automatic frequency sweep.

How to get the best wireless transmission

1. Keep the antenna angles of the transmitter and receiver in a vertical upward state (Figure 1) to extend the transmission distance and stabilize the transmission quality.
   

2. Try to elevate the receiver as high as possible in relation to the fixture under test to minimise interference on the transmission route.

Fault Resolution

In the process of using the product, if the signal output from the receiver cannot be displayed normally, the general possible causes and solutions are shown in the following table

and receiver to the power supply
Transmitter not connected to light console DMX cable| Reliably reconnect
The DMX address output from the light console is not compatible with this product.| Change the DMX address of the light console, this product only supports 1-512 channels.
Signal connection interruption| The transmitter is not connected to the DMX cable of the light console.| Reliably reconnect
Interference from equipment in the same operating frequency band during product operation| Wait 1 minute or re-power on the trans­ matter for re- sweeping
Transmitter or receiver antenna not mounted, tightened| Assemble and tighten the antenna
Transmitter and receiver are too far apart| Closer distance between transmitter and receiver
