Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton; check the contents
to ensure that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify
the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear
damaged from shipping or the carton itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the
carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be returned to the
factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and
packing.
AC POWER
This fixture has an auto-switching switch-mode power supply that can accommodate a
wide range of input voltages. The only thing necessary to do before powering on the
unit is to make sure the line voltage you are applying is within the range of accepted
voltages. This fixture will accommodate 240V AC 50-60 Hz.
Help preserve the environment! Ensure that this product is
recycled at the end of its life. Your supplier can give details
of local arrangements for the disposal of products.

W-DMX™ Receiver
A W-Bridge W-DMX system can have at minimum one receiver, and up to an unlimited
maximum number of receivers per universe of DMX. A receiver is required to receive
the DMX signal transmitted wirelessly by the transmitter and output it to any
downstream fixtures.
W-DMX™ Transceiver
A W-Bridge W-DMX system requires one transmitter per universe of DMX, to
broadcast the signal to any receiver. The DMX controller will normally be plugged
straight in to the transmitter.
Possible configurations
The diagrams below show possible configurations. Multiple receivers may be used in
any possible configuration.
lWeight: 0.8kg per unit and 6kg In total
lDimensions: 145 x 110 x 70mm.

4. OPERATION:
LED Status Indicators
The LED status indicators on both the transceiver and the receiver units display its
current status or mode.Below, each status is described:
1. POWER LED: When lit, the power is connected.
2. DMX LED:
Transceiver Only:
• LED off: The unit is ready for you to choose the mode.
• Flashing every 1.5 seconds: Transmission is off.
• Flash every 1 seconds: Transmitting, but there is no DMX signal.
• Flash every 0.2 seconds: Searching for a receiver.
• On: Transmitting a DMX signal.
Receiver Only:
• Off: Not receiving.
• Flash every 1s: Receiving, but no DMX signal.
• Flash every 0.2s: Searching for transceiver.
• On: Receiving DMX signal. Receiver
3. MODE LED:
• Off: Wireless Mode 1 (Frequency 1)
• Flash: Wireless Mode 2 (Frequency 2)
• On: Wireless Mode 3 (Frequency 3)
Setting Up W-BRIDGE Wireless unit
1. One transceiver with multiple receivers:
Power on all units. The DMX LED indicators on all units should be off (if some DMX LED
indicators are on or are flashing, press & hold the
<FUNCTION> button until they turn off), then press the transceivers
<FUNCTION> button again. All the receivers should flash quickly, and then all be
matched up correctly.
2. Multiple transceivers, multiple receivers; e.g. 3 groups consisting of a
transceiver & receiver(s) named A,B, and C:
1.) Turn power off of all units.
2.) Group “A” gets powered on, then follow step 1 above.
3.) Group “B” gets powered on, then follow step 1 above.
4.) Group “C” gets powered on, then follow step 1 above.

Disconnecting A W-BRIDGE Wireless unit
1. Press and hold the transmitter <FUNCTION> button for 5 seconds.
The transmitter will disconnect from all receivers. The DMX LED indicators on the
receivers will then beturned off.
2. Press and hold each receiver’s <FUNCTION> button for 5 seconds.
Each receiver will disconnect from the transmitter, and its DMX LED indicator then
will be turned off.
Frequency/Mode Change (Performed only on transceivers)
There are 3 different modes (frequencies) that you can manually choose from.
They are recognizable by the status of the Mode LED:
• Mode 1: OFF
• Mode 2: Blinking
• Mode 3: ON
1. To manually change the mode, hold the <FUNCTION> button for 8 seconds until
the DMX indicator turns off.
2. Press the <FUNCTION> button to switch between modes.
3. Press and hold the <FUNCTION> button for 7 seconds, and the transmitter will
begin transmitting the DMX signal through the newly set frequency.
Set a Transceiver to Transmit or Receive
Turn the power off, then turn it back on. Press the <FUNCTION> button for 2
seconds, it will switch from a transmitter to receiver or a receiver to transmitter. If
during this process you see the DMX indicator change, it is a transmitter, otherwise
it is a receiver.
Point-2-Point Operation
Basic Point-2-point systems are used when you want to send wireless DMX data
from a console to a single receiver. As the receiver accepts all 512 DMX channels
from the transmitter, you can easily daisy chain more fixtures by cable from the
fixture connected to wireless connection.
Multipoint-2-Multipoint Operation
Up to 16 universes of DMX can be transmitted simultaneously using a multipoint to
multipoint approach.All receivers in a multipoint system will listen only to the
designated transmitter without any delays or interference from the systems working
alongside.
Need more receivers?
Simply add as many receivers as desired to the transmitter, assigning them with a
simple button push.
