DMX-WTR | DMX-WRE Owner's Manual

DMX-WTR - 2.4GHz Wireless DJ DMX Lighting Transmitter

DMX-WRE - 2.4GHz Wireless DJ DMX Lighting Receiver

Important Safety Instructions

No user serviceable parts inside. Refer service to the rockville service center.

• For indoor use only. Do not expose units to moisture.

• Only use the included power adapters. Do not use the adapters if the cord is damaged in any way. Do not break off the ground prong as this increases the risk of electric shock.

• Working temperature range is -4° – 113°F (-20° – 45°C), 10% – 90% relative humidity.

• Make sure there are no obstructions between the transmitter and the receiver(s).

Functions

DMX-WTR transmitter

1. XLR 3 pin male connector

2. 5 volt power input

3. ID key LED indicator

4. ID key button

5. Removable antenna

DMX-WRE receiver

1. XLR 3 pin female connector

2. 5 volt power input charging port

3. ID key/power button

4. Antenna/ID key LED indicator

Operation

1. Power up the DMX-WRE unit(s) by pressing the ID key/power button once (press twice quickly to turn it off).

2. Now power up the DMX-WTR unit by connecting the power supply.

3. Plug the DMX-WTR to the XLR input of your DMX source. If using a fixture with a built-in transmitter, turn it on at this time.

4. Connect the DMX-WRE unit(s) to the desired fixture(s).

5. Press the ID key on the DMX-WTR to indicate the ID setting. Press again to set the ID. To change the ID value, press the key button until the desired value is found. To set the ID for the DMX-WRE, follow the procedure above. Please note that the ID needs to match on both the DMX-WTR and DMX-WRE. If your fixture has a built in transmitter and you are only using a DMX-WRE unit, it's ID should match the fixture's ID. When the units are used in the future, they will remember the previously used ID.

ID Code and Corresponding LED Indicator Color:

1. RED

2. GREEN

3. YELLOW

4. BLUE

5. PURPLE

6. TURQUOISE

7. WHITE

6. The DMX-WTR will automatically look for and choose an interference free channel which it will also assign to the DMX-WRE. If there is over 10% interference, the DMX-WTR will switch to another channel and set the DMX-WRE to that same channel. If the whole frequency is occupied, the DMX-WTR will switch to frequency hopping mode.

7. The LED on the DMX-WTR will blink RED slowly until communication is established with the receiver. The status LED on the DMX-WRE unit(s) will flash GREEN slowly until communication is established.

Pairing the DMX-WTR Transmitter to a DMX-QR Receiver

The DMX-WTR uses a color coded system for syncing and the DMX-QR uses a number ID system. Follow the steps below to sync the transmitter to the receiver.

1. Power up the DMX-WRT unit by connecting the power supply and pressing the Power button once.

2. Now power up the DMX-QR unit by connecting the power supply.

3. Connect the DMX-WTR to the DMX source.

4. Connect the DMX-QR unit to the desired fixture.

5. Press the ID key on the DMX-WTR to indicate the ID setting. Press again to set the ID color. To change the ID color, press the key button until the desired color is found.

6. Press the ID key on the DMX-QR to indicate the ID setting. Press again to set the ID value. To change the ID value, press the key button until the desired value is found.

DMX-WTR ID Color and Corresponding DMX-QR ID Value:

1. RED = ID 1

2. GREEN = ID 2

3. YELLOW = ID 3

4. BLUE = ID 4

5. PURPLE = ID 5

6. TURQUOISE = ID 6

7. WHITE = ID 7

Please note: The DMX-WTR has 7 ID channels and the DMX-QR has 16 ID channels. Only the first 7 channels on the DMX-QR are used. If you go past the 7th channel, your DMX-QR will cease communicating with the DMX-WTR. In order to reestablish communication, you must cycle through the additional 9 channels until you reach channel 1.

Features and Specifications

• Built in 650mAH rechargeable battery (DMX-WRE only. DMX-WTR unit must be plugged in)

• Battery power: working time: 9 hours (only takes 2 hours to fully charge)

• You can use the DMX-WRE while its plugged in and charging.

• Daisy chain multiple lights and use one receiver for all the lights. This setup requires one transmitter and one receiver.

• Connect a transmitter to your DMX controller and a receiver to each light. Each light will have its own channels on the controller so they can all be controlled independently (can be done with up to 7 lights groups).

• Makes it easy to set up all your lights without a ton of wires everywhere

• Controls are extremely reliable and work without any delay

• The product uses 2.4Ghz frequency band

• Efficient GFSK modulation with 126 channel high-speed frequency hopping (FHSS). Hops 1100 times per second for interference free operation.

• Tri-color LED displays status and parameters

• One-touch operation

• 7 selectable groups of lights can be controlled independently

• You can connect up to 25 receivers to each transmitter

• Requires you to hold the button to change linking — this ensures no accidental un-linking happens

• CPU: 32-bit ARM Core

• Distance: 1,968 feet (600 meters)

• Modulation (GFSK maximum transmit power): 23dBm

• Receiver sensitivity: -94dBm

• Unit dimensions: 4.7" long and antenna is 3.5" tall

• Weight: 0.4Lbs

Applications

• Stage lighting

• Up lighting (wall washing)
