IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
In order to optimize the recovery and recycling of the materials that old appliances contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment, ensure that this product is recycled at the end of its life.
Unlink All : press and hold the LINK on the Transmitter for 5 seconds and all paied and powered receivers will be unlinked.
Repeater
To operate the unit as a Repeater, you need to send one universe as Receiver
and one as Transmitter, and then use DMX cable to connect the Receiver to
Transmitter on back of unit.
TX mode selection
To use this Transmitter together with Wireless Solution’s Received of G3 or G4S, you need to select TX mode on a Transmitter unit.
- Press FUNCTION button shortly 3 times, then press and hold the button for
at least
3 seconds to enter TX mode selection. LED will blink in different patterns to indicate currently selected protocol.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The TX mode of Transmitter can’t be higher than the
Receiver’s.
Otherwise, there would be malfunction between Transmitter and Receiver.
RDM function
As default, all products come with RDM disable. To active RDM, use Lumen Radio
Dongle and Configurator software.
This change must be done on the transmitter and all receivers that need to
downstream RDM.

SETUP
Placing Transmitter and Receiver
For successful linking and better performances, the following conditions should be fulfilled:
a. Distance between Transmitter and Receiver should not exceed 500m.
b. Position of Transmitter and Receiver should be 1m at least above
crowds and trees .
Placing Transmitter and Receiver
The Wireless unit can be rack or truss mounted. A safety cable is required to secure the unit when it is mounted onto the truss.
System connection
Use DMX cables to connect DMX IN of the TRANSCEIVER to DMX source and DMX OUT of RECEIVER to lighting equipments.
Power Adapter
The wireless system is designed to work on AC 100-240V 50/60Hz. Before applying power to a unit, make sure that the unit’s input voltage matches the power source voltage.
Connections
The wireless units can be operated in point-to-point, point-to-multipoint or
multipoint-to-multipoint.
Note: Maximum universes in coexistence: 16
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The WDMX T500 DUO MK2 can be used as Transmitter, Receiver or Repeater.
Transmitter/Receiver flex mode
Power on A and B universes, the TX/RX indicator shows its mode and it is easy to switch between TX and RX by pressing the TX/RX switch button.
Linking the devices
Press and quickly release LINK button on the Transmitter. The Transmitter will scan for all unlinked receivers. The LINK indicators on both the Transmitter and Receiver(s) will flash rapidly for 10 seconds and then stay steady on.
NOTE: There is no limited number of receivers that can link up with a
transmitter – there can be an infinite number of receivers all paired with a
single transmitter.
You can add receivers at any time, even during operation. In an operational
system, adding on an additional receiver will make the logged-in units revert
to idle mode for 10 seconds; once the new units are linked up they will all
start again together with the new unit.
Unlinking the devices
There are two ways to unlink the devices – Unlink One or Unlink All.
Unlink One: press and hold the LINK on a Receiver for 5 seconds and its LINK indicator will turn off.
