6. Operating Instructions

Operating the wireless DMX system involves setting the correct ID codes for pairing.

1. Power On: Ensure both the transmitter and all receivers are powered on.
2. Set ID Codes: Each unit has a "Color selector" button. Press this button to cycle through the 7 available ID codes. The LED indicator will change color to represent the selected ID.
3. Quick Matching: For successful pairing, the transmitter and all desired receivers must be set to the same ID code (same LED color). Once the ID codes match, the units will automatically establish a wireless connection. The LED indicator will stop flashing and remain solid when a connection is established.
4. Multiple Networks: You can create up to 7 independent wireless DMX networks by assigning different ID codes to different groups of transmitters and receivers.
