WET PAR 50: How To Set Up Wireless DMX

Introduction

This guide will walk you through the process of connecting a wireless DMX controller to your Rockville WET PAR 50 PAR lights. By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to control the lights wirelessly using DMX codes and faders.

Step 1: Understanding Wireless DMX Codes

• The wireless DMX controller links to the WET PAR 50 lights using a wireless DMX code.
• On the controller, you can select a color-coded wireless DMX signal:
  Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Light Blue, Pink, or White.
• On the WET PAR 50 lights, this is done through the U512 menu, where you can set the code to U1 – U7, which correspond to the controller’s colors.
  • Example: Setting U1 on the lights will sync with the Red code on the controller.

Step 2: Setting Up the Wireless DMX Controller

1. Turn on the wireless DMX controller.
2. Select the DMX Code on the controller.
   • Example: If you want Red, set it to Red.

Step 3: Configuring the WET PAR 50 Lights

1. Set the DMX Address:
   • Navigate to the Address menu on each light.
   • Set all lights to the same DMX address (e.g., A001).
2. Choose the DMX Channel Mode:
   • Navigate to the DMX Channel menu on the lights.
   • Choose between 3, 4, 6, or 10-channel modes (For full control, select 10-channel mode).
3. Enable Master/Slave Mode:
   • Enter the Master/Slave menu.
   • Switch from Master Mode to D512 Mode.
   • Set the lights to U1 to match the Red code on the controller.
   • The LEDs under the display will flash green when successfully paired.

Step 4: Activating the Controller and Controlling the Lights

1. Activate Scanner 1 on the controller.
2. Use the faders on the DMX controller to control the lights:
   • Fader 1: Master Dimmer (controls brightness).
   • Fader 2: Strobe effect (only visible once a color is set).
   • Fader 3: Red LEDs.
   • Fader 4: Green LEDs.
   • Fader 5: Blue LEDs.
   • Fader 6: White LEDs.
   • Fader 7: Amber LEDs.
   • Fader 8: Ultraviolet (UV) LEDs.
   • Fader 9: Activates different lighting modes.
   • Fader 10: Adjusts the speed of color cycles.

Step 5: Customizing Colors and Effects

• You can mix colors by adjusting faders 3–8 to create custom lighting.
• Use Fader 9 to switch lighting modes.
  • Example: If Fader 9 is set between 81–150, it activates the Color Cycle Mode.
• Fader 10 controls the speed of the color cycle.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily connect your wireless DMX controller to your Rockville WET PAR 50 lights and control them remotely. If you need a reference, consult the DMX channel guide for details on each fader’s function.
