1. If you’re using an external wireless DMX transmitter like our wiCICLE® transmitter or
LightCaster® Transceiver, plug it into the “DMX OUT” connector of the controller and verify
it is receiving power. If you are using a DMX controller with a built-in DMX transmitter like
our KONTROL 5 SKYWIRE™, enable the DMX transmitter on that unit. Please refer to that
controller’s user manual for specific instructions on enabling wireless DMX output.
2. Turn on the wireless DMX switch located on the back of the fixture and verify it is
receiving power (the STATUS LED should illuminate.)
3. Press the CHANNEL SET button on the back of the fixture to select your desired
operating channel group (this setting will be stored for future use.)
The 7-Color Status LED will change color to indicate the current channel group:
· GROUP 1: RED
· GROUP 2: GREEN
· GROUP 3: YELLOW
· GROUP 4: BLUE
· GROUP 5: VIOLET
· GROUP 6: CYAN
· GROUP 7: WHITE
4. Follow the same procedure on the transmitter to select the channel group.
applicable), or the DMX out of a fixture on your DMX chain.
5. The LED on the transmitter will blink RED slowly until communication is established
with the receiver. The status LED on the receiving fixtures will flash GREEN slowly until
communication is established.
6. Once the clearest channel is auto-selected, the status LEDs will blink quickly on both
the transmitter and receiver. NOTE: The color of the StormChaser Skywire’s status LED
DURING operation does not indicate channel group, instead it indicates whether the unit
is transmitting or receiving. That’s It!
Using the Intelion™ Battery System
The StormChaser™ Skywire RGBAW features our proprietary Intelion™ Lithium-Ion internal
battery system which allows you the flexibility to operate your light fixture without AC
power for up to 20 hours.
To charge the battery, simply plug the fixture into a power source.
The battery will charge weather the fixture is powered on or off. It will
even charge while in use! To use the internal battery, just locate the
battery power switch on the rear of the fixture and flip it on.
The built-in microprocessor of the battery system controls the charge
and overall battery health, so all you need to do is plug and play. The
top section on the battery power level indicator displays the approximate amount of power
remaining in the battery. If you have your StormChaser™ Skywire plugged in, the lower
section of the battery power level indicator will illuminate and display the current charge
level currently in progress. The top LED in the lower section will turn on and illuminate
GREEN when the charge is complete.
NOTE: “GROUP” number also
corresponds to the “GROUP” setting
on our LightCaster™ wireless DMX
transceiver, wiCICLE™ transmitter,
and all Blizzard Skywire™ wireless
controllers.
