- Page 17 5.6 PAIRING WITH TRANSMITTER (GET PAIRING) This function allows to pair the Wi DMX set as receiver with a Wi DMX set as trasmitter, to avoid interactions with other unit of the same type. For this operation you need a DMX signal cable connected between the two unit. MODE Remove any cable on the DMX connectors and connect the DMX signal cable between the two unit.
- Page 18 5.7 PAIRING WITH TRANSMITTER (GET PAIRING) USING WI D PEN This function allows to pair the Wi DMX set as receiver with a Wi DMX set as trasmitter. For this operation you need a Wi D PEN already paired with the trasmitter Wi DMX (v.par.4.6) With MODE key (Fig.37) find the text like in (Fig.38).

Page 19: Extender Mode
6.1 EXTENDER MODE This operation mode allows you to receive the DMX 512 signal coming from a Wi DMX transmitter, provide it to the connected projectors and re-transmit it to other receiver unit. The connection must be like in (Fig.43). - Page 20 6.2 SETTING OF TX1 This function allows to set the range of DMX channels to transmit on band 1 (RED LED) to the paired receivers and the RADIO channel to use, among the ten available (from 0R to 9R). With MODE key ( Fig.46) find the text like in ( Fig.47). MODE To change the setting hold SET key ( Fig.48) until the value starts blinking ( Fig.49).
- Page 21 6.4 SETTING OF RX2 This function allows to visualize the state of the receiver and to change the receiver band. With MODE key (Fig.51) find the text like in (Fig.52). To change the receiver band hold SET key (Fig.53) until the value changes (Fig.54).
- Page 22 7.1 TX BACKUP MODE TX BACKUP mode is intended for use as an immediate backup unit in case of failure during an event. This mode works exactly the same as TRANSMITTER mode, but data encoding is made using the key of another transmitter. In the event of faiure of the original transmitter, the unit set as TX BACKUP can generate the same signal as the original and then receiver will work without having to be paired again.
