Wireless Operation
In optimal conditions, the COLORado Panel Q40 can operate up to 300 m (900 ft) away from the W-DMX
transmitter. The W-DMX receiver in the COLORado Panel Q40 must be paired with the W-DMX transmitter
for wireless operation.
Once a WDMX receiver has been linked to a specific WDMX transmitter, it will remain linked
to that specific transmitter until it is linked to a different one.
Initial Setup
1. Turn the W-DMX transmitter on.
2. Connect the W-DMX transmitter to a DMX controller.
3. Place the COLORado Panel Q40 within 300 m from the W-DMX transmitter.
4. Disconnect any DMX cable from the COLORado Panel Q40.
5. Turn the COLORado Panel Q40 on.
Configuration
1. From the COLORado Panel Q40 control panel, go to DMX Address.
2. Select the start address, as with any other DMX compatible product.
3. Go to Wireless Setting > Receive On/Off.
4. Select On. (The Signal Strength Indicator will show a ? in front of the bars).
5. Press the reset button on the W-DMX transmitter. (The Signal Strength Indicator on the
COLORado Panel Q40 will show a ϟ in front of the bars for 3 seconds while a connection is
established.).
Product Pairing
If the COLORado Panel Q40 has already been paired with the W-DMX transmitter, the Signal Strength
Indicator in the middle of the OLED screen will show the strength of the signal. In this case, the
COLORado Panel Q40 is ready to work in Wireless mode.
Pairing the COLORado Panel Q40 and a new W-DMX transmitter:
1. From the COLORado Panel Q40 control panel, go to Wireless Setting > Receive Reset.
2. Select Yes. The Signal Strength Indicator on the COLORado Panel Q40 will show a ? in front of
the bars.
3. From the W-DMX transmitter, press <RESET> (the Signal Indicator on the transmitter will flash).
4. Once the transmitter has found the COLORado Panel Q40, the Signal indicator on the W-DMX
transmitter will illuminate solid.
5. The Signal Strength Indicator in the middle of the OLED screen on the COLORado Panel Q40 will
show the strength of the signal.
W-DMX operation can be interrupted or inhibited by liquid masses between the transmitter
and receiver such as water, snow, or people. For best results, keep the area between the
transmitter and receiver clear of any liquid mass.
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows an COLORado Panel Q40 (the master) to control one or more COLORado
Panel Q40 products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One COLORado Panel Q40 becomes the master
when running an auto program, or by being in Static mode.
You must configure each slave's control panel to operate in Slave mode. During Master/Slave operation,
the slaves will operate in unison with the master.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/Slave mode. The DMX
controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master.
