WSTFX WIRELESS DMX TRANSMITTER
Version 0.0 OWNERS MANUAL 12/13/2007
DESCRIPTION
The WSTXF is a compact RF transmitter unit which
transmits a USITT DMX-512 lighting control signal.
It's input signal is received from a normal wired DMX
system via a standard 5 pin male XLR connector. The
WSTXF is supplied with a UL listed external power
supply and an transmitting antenna.
The WSTXF can operate with multiple compatible
wireless DMX dimmers and/or receivers. The receiver
units get the the same information they would get using
a cable connected to a DMX lighting console.
The wireless system uses the 2.45 GHz band and
operates at low power (< 100mW). The operating
range is aproximately 1400 ft. indoors and about 4000
ft. for outdoor operation. This range could vary
significantly depending on the surrounding conditions.
A link between an specific single WSTXF transmitter
and one or more compatible receiving units is invoked
to enable wireless operation. The linking operation is
performed at the transmitter. Once linked, the receiver
units can operate ONLY with that specific transmitter.
The link is retained even when the receiver and/or
transmitter are powered off.
Receiver units may be released from the link either at
the transmitter or at the receiver. If released at the
transmitter then ALL receivers linked to that
transmitter will be released. If released at the receiver
then ONLY that receiver will be released.
INSTALLATION
POWER CONNECTION
The WSTXF is powered by an external 120VAC
power supply which provides 13VAC at 700mA to the
unit. It can be powered by another source if it meets
the requirements marked on the WSTXF. The power
connector on the unit is a 2.1mm male plug.
Connect the main body of the power supply to any
convenient 120VAC outlet. Then connect the 2.1mm
plug to the WSTXF.
ANTENNA CONNECTION
Carefully thread the antenna on the gold antenna
connector. on one end of the unit. It should be finger
tight only. The connectors can be damaged or jammed
if too tight. The antenna will swivel to a convenient
orientation while connected.

XLR connector on the end of the WSTXF.
