WET PAR WC: How To Set Up Wireless DMX

Introduction:

This article provides a step-by-step guide to setting up wireless DMX with your Rockville Wet Par WC lights. The process is straightforward and suitable for users of all experience levels. You will need your Wet Par WC lights, a compatible wireless DMX controller, and the DMX guide from your manual for reference.

Requirements:

• Rockville Wet Par WC lights
• Wireless DMX controller
• DMX guide/manual (for reference)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Power On the Wireless DMX Controller
   • Turn on your wireless DMX controller.
   • Activate the wireless DMX mode on the controller. A light will start flashing, indicating it is searching for a wireless connection.
2. Select a Wireless DMX Group
   • Wireless DMX groups are color-coded and must match on both the controller and the lights.
   • On the controller, locate the button beneath the flashing light.
   • Press this button to cycle through the available DMX groups: red, green, yellow, blue, purple, cyan, and white.
   • Choose your desired group (e.g., blue). The controller’s light will flash red, indicating it is ready to connect.
3. Set the Wireless DMX Group on the Lights
   • On each Wet Par WC light, press the menu button until you reach the wireless DMX group menu.
   • Use the up and down buttons to select the same group as set on the controller (e.g., blue, which may be group number four).
   • Repeat this step for all lights you want to control.
4. Adjust Additional Light Settings
   • Press the menu button to access IR mode and set it to OFF (if you are not using the IR remote).
   • Press the menu button again to access Master mode and set it to OFF (since the DMX controller will be the main source).
5. Set the DMX Address
   • Press the menu button to reach the DMX address mode.
   • Use the up and down buttons to set the DMX address for each light (e.g., 001).
   • Set all lights to the same address if you want them to respond together.
6. Choose the DMX Channel Mode
   • There are two options: six channel mode and ten channel mode.
     • Six channel mode: Allows basic color control.
     • Ten channel mode: Provides advanced control, including color, auto modes, strobe, and speed.
   • Press enter, then use the up and down buttons to select your preferred mode (e.g., ten channel mode).
   • Press enter again to save your selection.
7. Control Your Lights
   • Activate the appropriate scanner or channel on your controller.
   • Use the controller’s faders to adjust color, strobe, modes, and speed as desired.

Troubleshooting & FAQs:

• Ensure both the controller and all lights are set to the same wireless DMX group.
• Confirm that the DMX address matches on all lights.
• Make sure IR and Master modes are set to OFF.

Q: What is the difference between six channel and ten channel mode?
