PERSNAL – Stat Set – Addr DMX
When ON, define the desired DMX address via an external controller.
NOTE: This process assumes the fixture DMX address is set to 001. If fixture DMX address is not at 001, you must adjust the channel numbers accordingly in order for this feature to work. For example: if your fixture address is 010, then Channel 1 becomes Channel 10, Channel 2 becomes Channel 11, and Channel 3 becomes Channel 12.
- Connect the fixture to the external controller and power ON.
- Set the DMX value of Channel 1 on the controller to (7).
- Set the DMX value of Channel 2 on the controller to (7) or (8). When set to (7), the DMX address can be set between (1) and (255). When set to (8), the DMX address can be set between (256) and (511).
- Using Channel 3 on the controller set the desired DMX address of the fixture.
Example 1: If the desired DMX address is 57, set Channel 1 to a value of (7), set Channel 2 to a value of (7), and then set Channel 3 to a value of (57).
Example 2: If the desired DMX address is 420, set Channel 1 to a value of (7), set Channel 2 to a value of (8), and then set Channel 3 to a value of (164). (256+164=420)
After setting Channel 3 to the desired DMX address value, wait for approximately 20 seconds (some fixtures may require a longer time) for the fixture to complete the address reset function.

INTERNAL WIRELESS DMX RECEIVER (EWDMX)
The VOLT Q5E™ is equipped with an internal Elation Wireless DMX Receiver, which is fully compatible with an Elation Wireless DMX System.
WORKING WITH THE INTERNAL WIRELESS DMX (EWDMX) System
Access the “ WDMX ” sub menu from the “ PERSNAL ” menu. The “ WDMX ” sub menu allows you to “ ActWDMX ” turn the system ON, “ AcDaOut ” turn the system ON and send DMX data out through DMX OUT port, “ WDMXOff ” turn the system OFF, or “ ClrWDMX ” clear the EWDMX system.
When the EWDMX system is in the “ ActWDMX ” mode, the internal DMX “ IN ” XLR jacks are turned OFF. However the internal DMX “ OUT ” XLR jacks will function normally. If the fixture is powered ON with the internal EWDMX system “ ActWDMX ”, it will automatically scan for a wireless DMX signal from an Elation Wireless DMX Transmitter. If NO wireless signal is received, it will switch to the wired DMX mode.
WARNING!
NEVER connect a fixture to a controller via a DMX cable when the EWDMX
system is in use. This could cause serious damage to the controller!
SETTING UP THE EWDMX SYSTEM
Follow the instructions included with the Elation EWDMX Transmitter and connect it to the output of your DMX controller.
To sync your fixture with the Elation EWDMX Transmitter follow the steps below: Initially, the EWDMX indicator on the fixture should be solid RED.
Press and hold the configuration button on your EWDMX Transmitter for about 3 seconds. The RED / GREEN LED indicators on the EWDMX Transmitter and the fixture should then begin to flash rapidly for 5~ 10 seconds while the two systems pair.
Once the fixture is paired with the EWDMX Transmitter (T1) , the EWDMX status indicators on the both the fixture and the EWDMX Transmitter will stop flashing and glow solid GREEN. If paring is unsuccessful repeat the process until paring is secured.
The fixture will store the pairing information inside a nondestructive memory bank once a link is created between the fixture and an EWDMX Transmitter. The fixture will remember the paired EWDMX Transmitter even if the fixture is turned OFF for extended periods of time.
CLEARING EWDMX TRANSMITTER LINK
Access the fixture’s main menu and toggle to the “PERSNAL” menu, then access the “WDMX” sub menu and select “ClrWDMX” to clear any existing link between the fixture and a EWDMX Transmitter. The EWDMX indictor on the fixture will turn solid RED when the link is severed.
You may also clear the link directly from the EWDMX Transmitter. First, be sure the fixture(s) is powered ON, and then hold down the configuration button on the WDMX Transmitter for as least 5 seconds. This will automatically clear the link between the EWDMX Transmitter and any fixture that is powered ON. All EWDMX indictors will glow solid RED if the procedure was successful.
EWDMX INDICATORS
RED / GREEN (Rapid Flashing) = Syncing to a EWDMX Transmitter
RED / GREEN (Slow Flashing) = Paired with a EWDMX Transmitter but not receiving a DMX signal from a controller.
GREEN (Solid) = Paired with a EWDMX Transmitter and receiving DMX data
RED (Solid) = Not paired with a EWDMX Transmitter (FREE)
WIRELESS EWDMX INSTALLATION LOCATION GUIDELINES
Wireless DMX signal can penetrate walls, glass, metal, and most objects. However, there are many factors that can affect and/or interrupt the wireless DMX signal, one of which is people. Therefore, it is highly recommended to position the wireless transmission antenna a minimum of 9.8 ft. (3m) above audiences and/or above ground level. Careful planning and testing of the selected installation location is critical to ensure optimum and reliable wireless DMX operation.
