Introduction:

This guide will walk you through the simple steps to set up your Rockville MINI RF1 V2 4-Pack with a wireless DMX controller. No technical experience is necessary — just follow along and you’ll be up and running in no time.
Requirements:

• Rockville MINI RF1 V2 4-Pack
• Wireless DMX controller
• Matching color group settings for lights and controller

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Set Lights to Wireless DMX Mode

• Double-press the power button on each light until the LED indicator blinks twice rapidly.
• This indicates that the light is now in Wireless DMX (slave) mode.

2. Assign Lights to the Same Color Group

• Press the power button once on each light to cycle through the available color groups:
  • Red
  • Green
  • Yellow
  • Blue
• Make sure all lights are set to the same color group (e.g., Red).

3. Match the DMX Controller Color Group

• On your DMX controller, set it to the same color group as your lights (e.g., Red).
• This will wirelessly link the controller to the lights automatically.

4. Activate the Lights from the DMX Controller

• Activate Scanner 1 (or the appropriate scanner group).
• Begin controlling the lights using the faders on your DMX controller.

5. Use Faders to Control Light Functions

Here’s what each fader controls:

• Fader 1: Overall brightness
• Fader 2: Red LEDs
• Fader 3: Green LEDs
• Fader 4: Blue LEDs
• Fader 5: White LEDs
• Fader 6: Amber LEDs
• Fader 7: Ultraviolet (UV) LEDs

You can:

• Use a single fader for a solid color
• Mix multiple faders for custom color combinations

6. Use Special Lighting Effects

• Fader 8: Controls strobe effect. The higher the fader, the faster the strobe.
• Fader 9: Selects the lighting mode. For example:
  • Set between values 120 to 159 to activate Color Pulse Mode.
• Fader 10: Adjusts speed for the effect selected on Fader 9.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Q: The lights are not linking to the controller. What should I check?

Q: How can I tell which value I’ve set on a fader?

• Check the display screen on your DMX controller for exact values.
