7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DMX512 Wireless Transmitter, consider the following:

• No Signal / Lights Not Responding:
  • Verify power connections for both the transmitter and all receivers.
  • Confirm that the transmitter and all receivers are set to the identical channel ID.
  • Ensure the DMX cable connecting the console to the transmitter is secure and functional.
  • Check for potential strong interference sources (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, other 2.4G devices) and try changing the channel ID.
  • Confirm that your DMX console is actively outputting a valid DMX signal.
• Intermittent Signal:
  • Reduce the physical distance between the transmitter and receivers.
  • Ensure there are no significant physical obstructions (e.g., thick walls, large metal structures) blocking the wireless signal path.
  • Attempt to use a different channel ID to mitigate interference from other wireless devices.
• Power Supply Issues:
  • Always use the power adapter provided with the unit or a compatible replacement with the correct voltage and current ratings.
  • Avoid leaving the unit plugged in for extended periods when not in use, as this may contribute to power supply wear or overheating.
