Overwiew

ANTENNA FLEX is a new generation wireless DMX system which employs the W-DMX
technology.

ANTENNA FLEX system is also available with IP65 protection rate:
ANTENNA DMX FLEX TRX IP65 (D.T.S. code: 03.E12101)
ANTENNA FLEX is a compact, plug and play device, easy to set up and use.
ANTENNA FLEX represents a true innovation in comparison with other wireless DMX systems,
because it employs the adaptive FHSS standard instead of the commonly used W-LAN
standard.
The W-LAN standard uses fixed channels without hopping, so it has a much bigger risk
for interference from other competing local wireless networks.
The FHSS standard instead uses 83 discrete frequency channels, checking every
millisecond for interference free transmission.

ANTENNA FLEX can be used as a Transmitter (in standard configuration can transmit data to 512
DMX channels) or Receiver (receives data transmitted over 512 DMX channels).

ANTENNA FLEX in Transmit mode (TX) can be used either for multi-cast or point-to-point
transmission.
* In Multi-cast each fixture has a dedicated ANTENNA Receiver: this configuration is particularly
useful when you want to control many units totally wireless.
* Point-to-point is ideal when you have to bridge a long distance from the console to the first
fixture of a lighting system, which is connected to the other units by standard DMX cables.

Electrical specifications: Input 90V AC-250V AC 50-60 Hz (Max: 1A at 115V AC-0,5A at 230V
AC) or 12VDC (1,5 A max).
Compliance declaration: ETSI: EN300 328 & 300 826 EMC: EN301 489-17 CE: EN60950
FCC: Part 15 sec. 247 & subpart B

Output Power - According to ETSI (Europe) 100 mW (20dBm)

Operating instructions

Switching FLEX modes

The FLEX mode determinates if the unit is used in Transmit Mode (TX) or Receive Mode (RX).
To switch the FLEX mode, proceed as follows:

1- Disconnect the power cable
2- Press and hold the Function button (yellow colour) on the front panel
3- Reconnect the power cable
4- Release the function button

The mode is switched. The LEDs indicate the current mode: either TX or RX.
