LINKING CRMX Nova units can link with any other CRMX units as well as legacy W-DMXTM (G2/G3/G4) transmitters (2.4 GHz only). TO LINK 1. Ensure the antenna is connected. 2. Power on the transmitter and receiver(s). 3. Ensure that the RF Link indicators on all receivers are off to indicate that the receiver(s) are ready to be linked. (If necessary, follow the unlink procedure.) 4. On the transmitter, press and release the button. 5. The transmitter will search for any unlinked receivers. Its RF Link indicator will flash for 10 seconds and normal operation will resume. 6. The RF Link indicator will change to a steady on-state on successfully linked receivers. TO UNLINK · Unlink one: On the receiver, press and hold its button for more than 3 seconds to unlink it from a transmitter. The RF Link indicator will extinguish. · Unlink all: On the transmitter, press and hold its button for more than 3 seconds to unlink all of its receivers. FLEX MODE CHANGING (CRMX NOVA FX ONLY) The CRMX Nova Flex unit offers the ultimate flexibility to operate as either a transmitter or a receiver. The CRMX Nova Flex unit is pre-configured as a receiver. The mode can be changed in either of two ways: 1. Using the SuperNova software. Please refer to the SuperNova website at www.lumenradio.com/supernova for more information. 2. Using a special button press sequence on the CRMX Nova Flex unit. 1. Press and release the button five times in succession. Then immediately press and hold the button for three seconds until the Lock and Power indicators begin alternately flashing. One of the signal quality indicators will be on: Amber indicator on: Receiver mode selected Red indicator on: Transmitter mode selected 2. You can now change the Flex mode as required. Note that the unit will automatically revert to normal operation fifteen seconds after you last pressed the button. · To step between Flex modes: Press and release the button to move to the next mode. · To save changes: Press and hold the button for three seconds. The unit will revert to normal operation using the newly selected mode. · To exit without saving changes: The unit will revert to normal operation if you do not press the button within fifteen seconds. SUPERNOVA For configuration, management and monitoring of all CRMX units as well as RDM compatible devices, LumenRadio provides the software SuperNova free of charge. SuperNova is needed in order to configure network and port settings, manage frequency usage, etc. SuperNova connects to any number of CRMX transmitters through Ethernet. For best performance, LumenRadio recommends using a network switch and straight through Ethernet cables. All CRMX units equipped with Ethernet are delivered with the following default network settings: Network switch FRDM RF Link DMX RDM Ethernet Power Lock CRMX Nova unit UNIT FACTORY DEFAULTS IP Address: 192.168.0.162 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 SuperNova SuperNova runs on any Windows or Mac OS X computer with a Java runtime environment of at least version 1.6.

TO USE A T-SCREW 1. Lower the T-screw into the slot on the side of the unit and then twist it clockwise to lock. 2. Place the nut onto the screw. 3. Turn the nut clockwise until it tightens across the slot, thus locking the T-screw securely within the slot. 4. You can now attach the unit to a secure mounting point. 3 2 1 SECURITY WIRE: All CRMX Nova units have slots where a security wire can be attached. See illustration.
