Operation

  1. Power up the DMX-CT and/or DMX-QR by connecting the power supply.

  2. Connect the DMX-CT to the DMX source.

  3. Connect the DMX-QR(s) to the desired fixture(s).

  4.  Press the ID key on the DMX-CT to indicate the ID setting. Press again to set the ID. To change the ID value, press the key button until the desired value is found. To set the ID for the DMX-QR, follow the procedure above. Please note that the ID needs to match on both the DMX-CT and DMX-QR. If your fixture has a built-in transmitter and you are only using a DMX-QR unit, its ID should
    match the fixture’s ID. When the units are used in the future, they will remember the previously used ID.

  5. The DMX-CT will automatically look for and choose an interference-free channel which it will also assign to the DMX-QR. If there is over 10%interference, the DMX-CT will switch to another channel and set the DMX-QR to that same channel. If the whole frequency is occupied, the DMX-CT will switch to frequency hopping mode.

  6.  Once communication is established, the DMX-CT ID value light will be on and the number on the ID display will flash. The DMX-QR ID value light will be off and the number on the ID display will also flash.

Pairing the DMX-QR Transmitter to a DMX-WTR Receiver
The DMX-WTR uses a color-coded system for syncing and the DMX-QR uses a number ID system. Follow the steps below to sync the transmitter to the receiver.

  1. Power up the DMX-WRT unit by connecting the power supply and pressing the Power button once.

  2. Now power up the DMX-QR unit by connecting the power supply.
    Operation (continued)

  3. Connect the DMX-WTR to the DMX source.

  4. Connect the DMX-QR unit to the desired fixture.

  5. Press the ID key on the DMX-WTR to indicate the ID setting. Press again to set the ID color. To change the ID color, press the key
    button until the desired color is found.

  6. Press the ID key on the DMX-QR to indicate the ID setting. Press again to set the ID value. To change the ID value, press the key
    button until the desired value is found.

DMX-WTR ID Color and Corresponding DMX-QR ID Value:

  1. RED = ID 1
  2. GREEN = ID 2
  3. YELLOW = ID 3
  4. BLUE = ID 4
  5. PURPLE = ID 5
  6. TURQUOISE = ID 6
  7.  WHITE = ID 7

Please note: The DMX-WTR has 7 ID channels and the DMX-QR has 16 ID channels. Only the first 7 channels on the DMX-QR are used. If you go past the 7th channel, your DMX-QR will cease communicating with the DMX-WTR. In order to reestablish communication, you must cycle through the additional 9 channels until you reach channel 1.
