4.7 Wireless DMX operation
The wireless version of the Robin T1 Prole is equipped with the Lumen Radio CRMX module and antenna for receiving DMX signal. CRMX module operates on the 2.4 GHz band.
The item " Wireless " from the menu "DMX Input" allows you to activate receiving of wireless DMX (Person­ality--> DMX Input -->Wireless.). First two options from the "DMX Input" menu are stated in DMX chart as well (channel Power/Special functions , range of 10-19 DMX). If DMX input option is changed by DMX command, the change is permanently written into xture´s memory.
DMX range of 10-19 switching xture to the wired/wireless operation is active only during rst 10 sec­onds after switching the xture on.
After switching the xture on, the xture checks both modes of receiving DMX in the following order:
1. For the rst ve seconds, the xture receives DMX signal from the wired input. If the Power/Special functions
channel is set at some DMX input option, the xture will receive DMX value according to this option. If DMX input option is set to the wired input , this option is saved and checking procedure is nished. If DMX input option is not set, the xture continues next 5 seconds in scanning wireless DMX signal-see point 2.
2. For the next 5 seconds the xture receives wireless DMX signal and again detects if the Power/Special
functions channel is set at some DMX input option, if not, the xture will take option which is set in the xture menu "DMX Input".
To link the xture with DMX transmitter. The xture can be only linked with the transmitter by running the link procedure at DMX transmitter . After linking , the level of DMX signal ( 0-100 %) is displayed in the menu item “Wireless State“ (Information
-->Wireless State).
To unlink the xture from DMX transmitter. The xture can be unlinked from receiver via the menu item “ Unlink Wireless Adapter“ (Information--> Wireless State --> Unlink Wireless Adapter).
