DC power is applied to the DC IN > COP LED is blinking.

Linking with a transmitter

1. Link the dimmer with a Lumenradio or W-DMX transmitter.
If the dimmer was linked with an unknown transmitter before you need to unlink it first:
Push "Connect" longer than 5 seconds > blue LED goes OFF

2. Link with transmitter:
1: @ transmitter push "link" button > LED @ transmitter starts blinking

2. @ RC4 dimmer push ""Connect" > blue LED is blinking, if linked: LED steadily ON

Set-up of DMX channels and dimmer curves

1. You will need to have a linked dimmer with a transmitter.

Use a simple dimmer console or a DMX tester connected at the DMX input of the
wireless transmitter for set-up.

2. If there is a present DMX signal DMX data LED @ dimmer is ON

3. Set all DMX channels to level 0.
The first transmitted DMX channel and its according level will assign the DMX channel
AND its dimmer curve to dimmer output channel A, B, C or D at the same time.
Use a bent paper clip > set-up the level due to the table shown below > push "SET A" >
depending on the level this DMX channel AND dimmer curve is assigned to this DC out­put channel.

HINT: If you set at first channel A > channels B, C and D are set automatically.
DMX channel B = DMX address A+1, C = DMX address A+2, D = DMX address A+3
