4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Pairing with a DMX Transmitter

For wireless operation, the DMX receiver must be paired with a compatible DMX transmitter (sold separately). The pairing process is typically automatic:

1. Ensure both the DMX transmitter and receiver are powered on.
2. The devices will automatically search for and establish a connection on an available channel within the 2.4G ISM frequency band.
3. A stable connection is usually indicated by a specific LED status on both the transmitter and receiver. Refer to the device's LED indicator section (if present) for specific patterns and their meanings.

4.2 Signal Transmission

Once successfully paired, the receiver will wirelessly receive standard DMX512 protocol data from the transmitter. This data is then passed directly to the connected DMX lighting fixture, enabling remote control of its functions without physical DMX cabling.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

Wipe the exterior of the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, abrasive materials, or solvents, as these can damage the finish or internal components.

5.2 Storage

Store the receiver in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperatures when not in use.

5.3 Handling

Avoid dropping the device or subjecting it to strong impacts. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the receiver, as this will void any applicable warranty and may cause permanent damage.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 No Signal / Intermittent Signal

• Check Power: Ensure both the receiver and the DMX transmitter are properly powered on and their power adapters are securely connected.
• Distance: Verify that the receiver is within the effective operational range (up to 1000m line-of-sight) of the transmitter. Walls, large metal objects, and other obstacles can significantly reduce range.
• Interference: Other 2.4G wireless devices (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, cordless phones) can cause interference. Try repositioning the receiver or transmitter, or temporarily disabling other 2.4G devices to identify the source of interference.
• Pairing: Confirm that the receiver is correctly paired with the transmitter. If unsure, power cycle both devices and allow them to re-establish a connection.

6.2 Device Not Responding

• Power Cycle: Disconnect and reconnect the power to both the receiver and the DMX lighting fixture.
• DMX Connection Check: If using a DMX cable between the receiver and the fixture, ensure it is securely connected and not damaged.
• Fixture Compatibility: Ensure your lighting fixture is DMX512 compatible and configured correctly to receive DMX signals.
