Wireless DMX Connection

The wireless receiving module "Timo", provided by LumenRadio, only has a 2.4 GHz wireless signal
receiving function. To establish a wireless connection, please use the (52001) BlackBox F-1 Tranceiver G6
by LumenRadio. To control the status of the wireless communication, please look at the green LED
indicator light on the right-hand side of the display.
Note:
When the Helix receives a wireless DMX signal, then this signal will also be present at its 5-pin XLR-HD
connector (03). However, the Helix has not been designed to send wireless signals. Therefore, always
connect the Helix devices to each other using a DMX cable.

Wireless DMX Problems

The LED indicator will blink quickly: No signal from the CRMX transmitter
The LED indicator will blink slowly: Proper connection with the CRMX transmitter, but no DMX signal is
present.
First time wireless linking does not work. This may be caused by too much interference from other
wireless signals in combination with a large distance between the Helix and the Wireless DMX sender.
Move them close together (less than 3m.) and start the initial linking process. After this has been
done, move the Helix to the designated installation spot. The created link will remain.
When the wireless DMX communication is unhindered and a DMX signal is present, the LED indicator will
always be on.
Note:
The Helix S5000 10° IP65 cannot receive a CRMX signal and a DMX cable signal at the same time.
When the device is in Auto mode or Built-in Programs mode, please make sure that the paired 2.4GHz
wireless signal transmitter is OFF.
Note:
The Helix S5000 10° IP65 is only a CRMX receiver and never a wireless DMX transmitter.
