7. Operating Manual
7.1 ID Code and LED Color Relationship
The module uses a tricolor LED to indicate its ID setting. Press the 'KEY' button to cycle through the ID settings. The LED color corresponds to the ID as follows:
- 1: RED
- 2: GREEN
- 3: RED + GREEN
- 4: BLUE
- 5: RED + BLUE
- 6: GREEN + BLUE
- 7: RED + GREEN + BLUE
Press the key once to indicate the current ID setting. Press it again to set the IC (ID Code).
7.2 Working Conditions (LED Indicators)
- LED constant lit up: Indicates no DMX signal or wireless signal is detected.
- Red LED flash: The module is currently transmitting DMX data wirelessly.
- Green LED flash: The module is currently receiving DMX data wirelessly. It is actively searching across 126 channels automatically.
7.3 Establishing Communication
- Power On: Ensure both the transmitting and receiving modules are powered on (5V DC).
- Set ID Codes: For a successful connection, the transmitting module and all receiving modules must be set to the same ID code (1-7). Use the 'KEY' button to select the desired ID.
- Automatic Pairing: Once powered on and with matching ID codes, the modules will automatically establish communication. The LED indicators will show their respective transmitting/receiving status.
8. Troubleshooting
- No Signal (LED constant lit): Check power supply to both modules. Ensure DMX input is present at the transmitter. Verify that the transmitter and receiver are within the communication range (400M visible distance).
- Intermittent Signal: Ensure there are no major obstructions between the transmitter and receiver. Check for other 2.4G ISM band devices that might cause interference. Try changing the ID code to a different group.
- Modules Not Pairing: Confirm that both the transmitter and receiver modules are set to the exact same ID code. Power cycle both modules.
- Incorrect DMX Output: Verify DMX wiring connections are correct (XLR2, XLR3, GND). Ensure the DMX source is functioning properly.
9. Maintenance
- Keep the module clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid physical shock or excessive vibration.
- Regularly inspect wiring for any signs of wear or damage.
10. User Tips
While no specific user tips were available from reviews or Q&A, here are some general recommendations:
- For optimal performance, ensure the antenna is positioned clearly and not obstructed by metal objects.
- When setting up multiple wireless DMX systems in close proximity, utilize different ID codes for each system to prevent cross-talk and interference.
- Consider using a dedicated 5V DC power supply for each module to ensure stable operation, especially in demanding environments.
