DESCRIPTION
The WSRFX is a compact RF receiver unit which can
receive a USITT DMX-512 lighting control signal
from a compatible wireless DMX transmitter or
wireless equipped DMX lighting console. The received
DMX signal is available on a standard DMX 5 pin
Female XLR connector for a connection to a normal
wired DMX system. The WSRFX is supplied with a
UL listed external power supply and an antenna.
The WSRFX operates with a single specific compatible
wireless DMX transmitter or console at a time.
Receiver units get the same information they would get
using a cable connected to a DMX lighting console.
Multiple WSRXF receivers may be operated with a
single transmitter or console.
The wireless system uses the 2.45 GHz band and
operates at low power (< 100mW). The operating
range is approximately 1400 ft. indoors and about 4000
ft. for outdoor operation. This range could vary
significantly depending on the surrounding conditions.
A link between one or more WSRFX receivers and one
compatible transmitter unit is invoked to enable
wireless operation. The linking operation is performed
at the transmitter. Once linked, the receiving 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 linked receivers
will be released. If unlinked at the receiver then
ONLY that receiver will be released.
INSTALLATION
POWER CONNECTION
The WSRFX 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 WSRFX. 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 WSRFX.
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.
DMX OUTPUT CONNECTION
Connect the DMX signal cable to the 5 Pin Female
XLR connector on the end of the WSRFX.
Connect the other end of the cable to a normal DMX
Dimmer or dimmer chain.

LINKING RECEIVERS
Links are always performed at the transmitter. Links
will not be established with receivers already linked to
another transmitter device.
You should begin by unlinking the receiver at the
receiver itself since it could be linked to a transmitter
other than the one you have.
