Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to correctly set up your CHINLY wireless DMX system:

1. Connect the Transmitter: Plug the DMX wireless transmitter into the DMX output port of your lighting console or DMX controller. Ensure a secure connection.
2. Connect the Receivers: Plug each DMX wireless receiver into the DMX input port of your DMX-compatible lighting fixtures (e.g., PAR lights, moving heads).
3. Power Connection: Connect the provided power adapters to each transmitter and receiver unit, then plug them into a suitable AC100-240V power outlet.

Operating Instructions: Establishing Communication

To establish wireless DMX communication between the transmitter and receivers, follow these steps:

1. Power On Receivers First: Ensure all DMX512 wireless receiver units are powered on before powering on the transmitter.
2. Power On Transmitter: After all receivers are powered, power on the DMX wireless transmitter unit.
3. Set ID Value: Press the "Key" button on both the transmitter and each receiver to set them to the same ID value. The units will display their current ID.
   • Important: If you need to use multiple independent wireless DMX networks in the same location, ensure each network uses a different ID value to prevent interference.
4. Observe LED Indicators:
   • The red LED on the transmitter will flash when it is transmitting DMX data on an available frequency section.
   • The receiver will automatically search for and change to the communicated frequency section.
   • The green LED on the receiver will flash once it receives data with the matching ID value. The faster the green LED flashes, the more DMX data is being received.
5. Communication Established: Once the green LED on the receiver is flashing, communication has been successfully established, and your lighting fixtures should respond to DMX signals from your console.

Troubleshooting

• No DMX Signal / Lights Not Responding:
  • Ensure all units (transmitter and receivers) are powered on.
  • Verify that the ID values on the transmitter and all receivers match. Press the "Key" button to cycle through IDs.
  • Check DMX cable connections between the console and transmitter, and between receivers and fixtures.
  • Confirm the DMX console is outputting a signal.
  • Ensure the green LED on the receivers is flashing, indicating DMX data reception. If not, try re-pairing.
  • Reduce the distance between the transmitter and receivers, or clear any obstructions.
• Intermittent Signal / Flickering Lights:
  • Check for strong 2.4Ghz interference from other wireless devices (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, other wireless DMX systems).
  • If using multiple wireless DMX systems, ensure each system uses a unique ID group.
  • Relocate units to minimize interference.
  • Ensure units are within the specified 400M visible communication distance.
• Unit Not Powering On:
  • Verify the power adapter is correctly connected and plugged into a live power outlet.
  • Check the power adapter for damage.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your CHINLY DMX Wireless System, consider the following maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the units. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the units in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
• Handling: Handle the units with care to avoid physical damage, especially to the DMX connectors and antennas.
• Power Adapters: Regularly inspect power adapters for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
