[SETUP FOR WIRELESS OPERATION]

Each unit has a wireless DMX transceiver on board. This means that every unit can be transmitter or receiver. To set up the system, you first need to assign each receiver to the universe (transmitter) it should work with.

VERY IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE USE

Before you start using these wireless DMX units, you should know about the following some basic information. It will save you a lot of time and frustration:

• Check information on the [ID] button (19) and status led (11).
  o Status LED (11) WHITE : unit is in setup mode or disconnected from any transmitter.
  o Status LED (11) BLUE : unit is in TRANSMITTER mode and connected to one or more receivers.
  o Status LED (11) BLUE (blinking fast) : unit (transmitter) is connecting to receiver(s).
  o Status LED (11) BLUE (blinking slow) : no DMX-signal present on transmitter
  o Status LED (11) GREEN : unit is connected to a transmitter
  o Status LED (11) GREEN (blinking slow) : unit receives no DMX-signal from transmitter.

• A receiver can only connect to a transmitter while it is completely disconnected: status led (11) is WHITE.

SETTING UP IN TRANSMITTER MODE (LED = BLUE)

• Keep the [ID] button (19) pressed while powering up the WIRELESS part of the BT-AKKULITE IP by pressing the according button (14). The status LED will become WHITE shortly, than turns BLUE, RED or GREEN (the last selected mode).
• Choose BLUE by pressing the [ID] button (19) shortly.
• Once BLUE selected, press the [ID] button (19) for 3 seconds to confirm the transmitter mode.
• The status LED will turn white and after a few seconds turns BLUE (blinking if there is no DMX signal present)
• The unit is now in transmitter mode.

SETTING UP IN RECEIVER MODE (LED = GREEN)

• Keep the [ID] button (19) pressed while powering up the WIRELESS part of the BT-AKKULITE IP by pressing the according button (14). The status LED will become WHITE shortly, than turns BLUE, RED or GREEN (the last selected mode).
• Choose GREEN by pressing the [ID] button (19) shortly.
• Once GREEN selected, press the [ID] button (19) for 3 seconds to confirm the receiver mode. The status LED will turn white and after a few seconds turns RED (fast blinking if there is no signal present) or GREEN (when the receiver is paired with a transmitter).
• The unit is now in receiver mode.
• Release the receiver from any universe (transmitter) by pressing the [ID] button (19) for 5 seconds. The status led now turns WHITE. The unit is now ready to be paired with a transmitter.

PAIRING TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER(S)

•  First of all : prepare transmitter and receiver(s) as described above.
• Press the [ID] button (19) on the transmitter. The BLUE led starts blinking and the led on the receiver(s) starts blinking GREEN at the same time. After a few seconds the leds stop blinking. The transmitter and receiver(s) are now paired.

DISCONNECTING RECEIVERS FROM A DMX UNIVERSE (TRANSMITTER)

To disconnect all the receivers from a DMX universe / transmitter:

• Press the [ID] button (19) from the transmitter for about 5 seconds until the status LED (11) turns RED, the status LED on the receiver(s) turn WHITE (disconnected).
• After a few moments the status LED (11) on the transmitter turns BLUE again.
• You can also re-connect the receiver(s) again simply by pressing shortly on the [ID] button (19) on the transmitter. (The status LED (11) on the receiver(s) turns GREEN again.

To disconnect an individual receiver from a DMX universe / transmitter:

• Press the [ID] button (19) of the receiver until the status LED (11) becomes WHITE (RGB lit).
• This receiver is now disconnected from the transmitter (DMX universe)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

A. Standalone 1unit:
• Select one of the automatic modes or select a fixed color
• Select the static or sound control mode
• Refer to chapter [SETUP MENU] to learn how to make the previous settings.

B. Two or more units in master/slave setup:

• Connect 2 to maximum 16 units together. Refer to the chapter “electrical installation” to learn how to do this.
• Set the slave mode for each projector: the first one must be set on in DMX mode or in a show mode (for example : [FAdE])
• Connect all units to the mains. The units will start working automatically and show the internal chase programs. Remark: You can connect a JB Systems LEDCON-02 Mk2 or LEDCON XL remote controller to the master unit if you want to have more control over the master/slave operation. All projectors must be in LEDc mode!

C. Connect an optional JB Systems LEDCON-02 Mk2 or LEDCON-XL controller for more control:
The JB Systems LEDCON-02 Mk2 or LEDCON-XL controller can only be used in standalone or master/slave mode. Connect the controller to the DMX-input of the first unit (master). Make sure that the BT-AKKULITE IP projectors are all set to channel mode [LEDc]. Now you can control all the connected units in 4 or 8channel mode. Refer to the user manual of the JB Systems LEDCON-02 Mk2 or LEDCON XL controller for more information.
D. Controlled by IR remote-controller:
Switch on the projector (5). Push button [ON] on the IR remote controller. [Jr–] will appear on the display. You are now ready to use the IR remote controller. When you turn the projector off with the IR remote controller, [Jr0F] will be shown on the display. Before you can start using the projector with another controller you have to push one of the buttons under the display ([MENU]-[▲]-[▼]-[ENTER]). The projector will now be disconnected from the IR remote controller. You can also use the IR remote controller with several projectors in Masterslave mode. Select the desired color, fade on the Master. The slaves will follow the instructions from the Master projector.
E. Controlled by universal DMX-controller:

• Connect all units together. Refer to the chapter “Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-mode” to learn how to do this (don’t forget to address all units properly!)
• Turn on the DMX controller. Since each unit has its own DMX-address, you can control them individually. Remember that each unit uses 4 to 10 DMX-channels as shown in the DMX charts below:
