Page 4: Introduction
INTRODUCTION WELCOME Welcome to the Aria Wireless DMX system from Acclaim Lighting. Aria transceivers enable you to transfer DMX signals up to 2600 feet (792m) line of sight between units (obstacles between the respective antennas will lower the achievable distances). A 5dB onmi- directional antenna is supplied with each Aria unit, together with a 9 feet (3m) extension plus a male-to-male adapter. -
Page 5: Installation
INSTALLATION MOUNTING IMPORTANT: When installing outdoors, the Aria module must be wall mounted with its connectors facing downwards to ensure that full ingress protection is achieved. Connectors must be Circular and facing downwards in slotted side exterior installations mounting holes Circular (Ø5mm) and slotted holes are located on each side for mounting purposes - for dimensions, see page 12. -
Page 6: Connections
CONNECTIONS On the underside face of the Aria unit, there are two fixed cords (DMX and power) via sealed glands as well as a moisture-proof air vent and the antenna port. ANTENNA CONNECTION Wherever possible, ensure the antenna has a clear path to that of the paired Aria unit(s). -
Page 7: Power And Control Wiring
POWER AND CONTROL WIRING The power and DMX cords enter the casing via water-tight glands on the underside of the Aria unit. Both cords are supplied as bare tails. CONTROL The control cord is roughly 5.2 feet (1.6m) in length and has five cores to provide DMX512-A input and output connections: Red: DMX + (Hot) <... -
Page 8: Operation
OPERATION Providing transceiver pairs are within range and are set to use the same radio channel, setup and operation will be totally transparent. A DMX signal applied to one unit will be replicated and output at the other. Note: Remote Device Management (RDM) is not currently supported across Aria wireless links. Aria units can operate either as a transmitter or as a receiver - although not at the same time: DMX IN DMX IN... -

Page 10: Transferring Multiple Universes
TRANSFERRING MULTIPLE UNIVERSES Each Aria transceiver pair can transfer a single DMX universe, however, by arranging parallel pairs of Aria units you can send multiple universes. Configuration for each pair is exactly the same as any standard installation, see page 7. Universe 1 Universe 1 Universe 2... -
Page 11: Creating A Repeater
CREATING A REPEATER In situations where a long distance needs to be covered but signal strength is insufficient, you may be able to solve the issue by using an extra pair of Aria transceivers to create a repeater. Located between the original transmitter and final receiver, the repeater pair will take the signal from the former and boost it for the latter. -
Page 12: Optimizing Signal Strength Via Channel Selection
OPTIMIZING SIGNAL STRENGTH VIA CHANNEL SELECTION Aria wireless transceivers use radio frequencies contained within the Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) band that runs between 2.4GHz and 2.5GHz. As one of the few license-free radio bands agreed upon in most countries, many other devices also use this band, most notably WiFi. -
