2. Safety Information

To ensure safe operation and prolong the lifespan of your device, please observe the following safety precautions:

• Power Supply: Use only the provided power adapters. Ensure the input voltage matches the device's requirements (DC 5V 500mA min).
• Environment: Do not expose the devices to rain, moisture, extreme temperatures, or corrosive liquids. Operate in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• Handling: Avoid dropping or subjecting the devices to severe impact. Do not attempt to open or modify the units, as this will void the warranty and may cause damage or injury.
• Interference: While designed for interference-free communication, keep the devices away from strong electromagnetic fields or other 2.4G wireless devices that may cause signal disruption.
• Placement: Ensure the antenna on the transmitter is positioned for optimal signal transmission, ideally with a clear line of sight to receivers.

4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your Lixada DMX512 Wireless Kit:

1. Connect the Transmitter:
   • Connect one of the provided power adapters to the power input interface of the DMX Transmitter.
   • Plug the 3-pin XLR male port of the transmitter into the DMX output of your DMX controller or console.
   • Ensure the antenna is securely attached and positioned vertically or adjusted for optimal line of sight.
2. Connect the Receivers:
   • For each DMX-compatible lighting fixture you wish to control wirelessly, connect one DMX Receiver.
   • Plug the 3-pin XLR female port of the receiver directly into the DMX input of your lighting fixture.
   • Connect a power adapter to the power input interface of each receiver.
3. Power On:
   • Plug all power adapters into appropriate power outlets.
   • The indicator lamps on both the transmitter and receivers should illuminate, indicating power.

5. Operating Instructions

The Lixada DMX512 Wireless Kit operates on a plug-and-play principle, automatically establishing a wireless DMX connection.

1. Automatic Pairing:
   • Once the transmitter and receivers are powered on and the transmitter is receiving a DMX signal, they will automatically search for and pair with each other.
   • The indicator lamps on both units will typically show a specific pattern (e.g., solid light or slow blink) to confirm a successful connection and DMX signal transmission/reception. Refer to the indicator lamp section for specific status meanings (if available, otherwise general).
2. DMX Signal Transmission:
   • The transmitter converts the wired DMX512 signal into a 2.4G wireless signal.
   • Receivers pick up this wireless signal and convert it back into a wired DMX512 signal for your lighting fixtures.
   • The system utilizes a 2.4G ISM 126-channel frequency section to minimize interference and ensure stable communication.
3. Controlling Lights:
   • Once connected, operate your DMX controller as usual. The wireless system acts as a transparent bridge for the DMX signal.
   • Ensure your lighting fixtures are set to the correct DMX addresses as configured on your DMX controller.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Lixada DMX512 Wireless Kit, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No DMX Signal / Lights Not Responding:
  • Check Power: Ensure both the transmitter and all receivers are properly powered on and their indicator lamps are lit.
  • Check DMX Connections: Verify that the transmitter is correctly connected to the DMX output of your controller and receivers are correctly connected to the DMX input of your fixtures.
  • Signal Indicator: Observe the indicator lamps. If they are not showing a stable connection (e.g., rapidly blinking or off), there might be a pairing issue or signal loss.
  • DMX Address: Confirm that your lighting fixtures are set to the correct DMX addresses as configured on your DMX controller.
  • Wired Test: Temporarily connect a lighting fixture directly to your DMX controller with a wired DMX cable to confirm the controller and fixture are functioning correctly.
• Intermittent Signal / Lag:
  • Line of Sight: Ensure there is a clear line of sight between the transmitter and receivers. Obstructions (walls, large metal objects, crowds) can degrade signal quality.
  • Distance: While rated for 400m, actual range can vary. Reduce the distance between units if experiencing issues.
  • Interference: The 2.4G band is shared with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other wireless devices. Try to relocate the units away from other strong 2.4G transmitters. The 126-channel frequency hopping helps mitigate this, but extreme interference can still occur.
  • Antenna Position: Adjust the transmitter's rotatable antenna for optimal reception.
• Device Not Powering On:
  • Power Adapter: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the device and a working power outlet. Test the outlet with another device.
  • Adapter Functionality: If possible, test the power adapter with another compatible device or try a different adapter (ensuring correct voltage and current).

8. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your Lixada DMX512 Wireless Kit:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the devices. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture.
• Storage: When not in use, store the devices in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep them in their original packaging or a protective case to prevent physical damage.
• Cable Care: Regularly inspect power adapters and DMX cables for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Replace damaged cables immediately.
• Antenna: Handle the transmitter's antenna carefully to avoid bending or breaking it.
