The XSW combines CRMX™ / W-DMX™ wireless DMX technology with all of the advantages of the DMX splitters from SWISSON. An XSW can be used as a DMX splitter, as a wireless DMX transmitter or as a wireless DMX receiver. The DMX splitter functionality is always available, regardless of whether the device is configured as a transmitter or as a receiver.
Do not expose the device to rain or moisture. Do not operate the device if any cover or component is missing, damaged or deformed. Refer any service operation not described is this manual to SWISSON. Provide unrestricted airflow around the device.
Mains Connection The US versions are delivered by SWISSON with an "Edison Plug" (NEMA-5-15). These models are labeled with a type designation ending in "-US". International versions on the other hand, are delivered without any plug. SWISSON distributors or dealers may however deliver the devices with a country specific plug.
2) W-DMX™ by Wireless Solution. Both types are very reliable and widely spread in the professional lighting industry. Refer to Ordering Information on page 16 for a full list of the available model types. Input Section The Power LED shows if the device is powered when the power supply unit of the XSW is working.
Output Ports The output section The Signal LED of the output section lights up when DMX data is available at the output ports. Each output port is individually optically isolated, meaning that it is totally isolated from the other output ports and from the input selection.
Wireless Port Link button and Link LED. The Link button is used to link a transmitter to one or multiple receivers. The Link LED shows if the device is linked. Signal strength indicator. In Receiver mode, four green LEDs display the signal strength. In Transmitter mode, they indicate that the transmitter is active by flashing alternately.
Link Transmitter mode Link On transmitter: Press the link button to link all unlinked receivers in the range of the transmitter. Link LED The Link LED shows different status information depending on the model and operating mode. XSW-TR-CRMX models...
XSW-TR-WDMX models The Link LED is always off in Splitter Only mode. Multiple Links Multiple DMX universes can be transmitted wirelessly using several transmitters as described below. 1) Put the units into their designated mode.

Good Try to place the antennas at an elevated location. A crowd will absorb the signal. Better Best It is recommended to place the device itself at an elevated location rather than to use an antenna cable.
