2. Description
The WRX-1 indoor receiver is a user-friendly single receiver with “One-Button-2-Go“technology. The
WRX-1 receives all 512 channels DMX (one universe) wireless through the W-DMX technology that is
proven to be safe, reliable and easy to use.
WRX-1 can be used for both Multicasting and Point-to-Point systems. In a Multicast system, each
DMX 512 device has its own WRX-1, which negates the need for DMX 512 cable as the entire system
is wireless. In a Point-to-Point situation, W-DMX is used to “bridge” a distance.
There can of course be a combination of these two modes, for example a WSX-1 connected to the
console can transmit to 6 units of WRX-1, and each of the WRX-1 has a fixture connected that is
daisychained to several other units by cable on either same or different DMX addresses.
The WRX-1 has a built in universal power supply with 90-250 V guaranteed worldwide use without
problems.
All WRX-1 units are delivered with multipurpose brackets for easy mounting and rigging, as well as
standard 2 dBI rubber whip antenna. A multitude of other antenna options are available to increase the
standard transmission range.
All W-DMX products use the license free 2.45 GHz ISM band, and are certified for use in the United
States, Canada, Japan, and all European Union countries.
The WRX-1 uses FHSS, Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum, along with a number of other
techniques to avoid interference and create a very reliable wireless link.

6. Installation
1. Attach the antenna to the connector on the front panel. If using the standard antenna, use also
the supplied adaptor.
2. Link the DMX source to the DMX out socket on the rear panel.
3. Connect power to the unit either via the Powercon input (90 to 250 VAC) or the DC power
input (12 VDC). If using the AC input, fit an appropriate mains plug to the supplied power cord
–this should be carried out only by a qualified electrician.
6.1.To link with a transmitter
1. Ensure that this receiver is not linked with any other transmitter (W-DMX indicators should be
OFF)
2. On the transmitter unit, press and release the LINK button. The transmitter will scan for all
unlinked receivers for a period of ten seconds.
3. If successful, the receiver’s W-DMX indicator will go ON.
6.2.To unlink from a transmitter
1. On the receiver, press and hold the LINK button until the W-DMX indicator goes OFF. The
receiver is now unlinked.
7. Trussholders mounting
Use a standard Truss clamp to be inserted in the screw hole on top of the box.
Make sure that the installation is safe and secure.
