Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preparing Your Lights for Wireless DMX

1. Power On Your Lights:
   • Double-press the power button on each Mini RF1 V2 until the LED indicator blinks rapidly twice.
     (This indicates the lights are now in Wireless DMX or Slave mode.)
2. Set Your Lights to a Color Group:

• Single-press the power button repeatedly to select a color group:
  • Red, Green, Yellow, or Blue
• Ensure all lights are set to the same color group for wireless linking.

Step 3: Setting Up Your Wireless DMX Controller

• Set your Wireless DMX controller to match the color group you selected on your lights.
  • For instance, if you set your lights to the Red group, select the Red color group on your DMX controller.

Step 4: Controlling Your Lights with the DMX Controller

Once linked, your lights will respond wirelessly to your DMX controller. Here’s how each fader on your controller affects your Mini RF1 V2 lights:

Creating Custom Colors:

• Mix faders 2 through 7 to create custom colors.
  Example: For a unique color:
  • Slightly raise Fader 2 (Red).

  • Add a small amount of Fader 5 (White) and Fader 7 (UV).

Activating Modes:

• Color Pulse Mode: Set Fader 9 between values 120-159.
• Use Fader 10 to adjust the speed (higher position = faster pulse).
