Infinity S401 Spot Multiple Infinitys (Wireless DMX Control) 01) Install multiple Infinitys at the desired positions (maximum Wi-Fi distance: 250 m). 02) In order for the Infinitys to receive a wireless DMX signal properly, activate W-DMX on all Infinitys (see page 28 for more information).
When the wireless DMX communication is normal, the W-DMX indicator on the display is always green. The Infinity cannot receive a wireless DMX signal and a DMX cable signal at the same time. Connect the Infinity to the Wireless DMX Signal Transmitter The Infinity cannot actively match a random wireless signal transmitter.

Infinity S401 Spot How to Make a Data Cable A standard ETHERNET cable can be used to replace the data cable required to transmit the data for the S401 Spot. Please follow the instructions below in order to create an extra net cable.
Infinity S401 Spot Fixture Linking You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows of two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support.
When using multiple Infinitys, make sure you set the DMX addresses right. Therefore, the DMX address of the first Infinity should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second Infinity should be 1+37=38 (038); the DMX address of the third Infinity should be 38+37=75 (075), etc.

04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue. The Infinity S401 Spot requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Otherwise, the fixture’s light output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth.
