Ewdmx Wireless Dmx Receiver Set Up - Elation Platinum Beam 5R Extreme User Manual

I N T E R N A L W I R E L E S S D M X R E C I E V E R ( E W D M X )
The PLATINUM BEAM 5R EXTREME™ is equipped with an internal Elation Wireless DMX
Receiver, which is fully compatible with an Elation Wireless DMX System.
WORKING WITH THE INTERNAL WIRELESS DMX (EWDMX) System
Access the "Wireless DMX" sub menu from the "PERSONALITY" menu. The "Wireless
DMX" sub menu allows you to "Activate" (turn ON) the system, "Deactivate" (turn
OFF) the system, or "Reset" (CLEAR) the EWDMX system.
When the EWDMX system is "Activated" the internal DMX "IN" XLR jacks are turned
OFF. However the internal DMX "OUT" XLR jacks will function normally.
If the fixture is powered ON with the internal EWDMX system "Activated", it will
automatically scan for a wireless DMX signal from an Elation Wireless Transmitter. If
NO wireless signal is received, it will electronically switch to the wired DMX mode.
NEVER connect a fixture to a controller via a DMX cable when the EWDMX
system is in use. This could cause serious damage to the controller!!
SETTING UP THE EWDMX SYSTEM
Follow the instructions included with the Elation EWDMX Transmitter and connect it to the
output of your DMX controller.
To sync your fixture with the Elation EWDMX Transmitter follow the steps below
• Initially, the EWDMX indicator on the fixture should be solid RED.
• Press and hold the configuration button on your EWDMX Transmitter for about 3
seconds. The RED/GREEN
should then begin to flash rapidly for about 5~ 10 seconds while the two systems pair.
• Once the fixture is paired with the EWDMX Transmitter (T1), the EWDMX status
indicators on the both the fixture and the EWDMX Transmitter will stop flashing and
glow solid GREEN. If paring is unsuccessful repeat the process until paring is secured.
• The fixture will store the pairing information inside a nondestructive memory bank once a
link is created between the fixture and an EWDMX Transmitter. The fixture will
remember the paired EWDMX Transmitter even if the fixture is turned OFF for extended
periods of time.
