The LCD display onboard the LightCaster Wireless DMX transceiver gives

you all pertinent information about the unit’s operating mode. Below, each

symbol is described:

1.) Operation Mode: Gives the mode of the unit, either Transmitter (“T”),

Receiver (“R”), or Searching (“-”).

2.) Operating Frequency: Displays the current operating frequency while

the unit is in Transmitter or Receiver Mode. While in Searching mode, the

unit will display the current frequency being scanned.

3.) Transmission Power Level: Displays the current transmission power

(applicable for Transmitter Mode Only):

• “0” = 2dBm (Lowest)

• “1” = 8dBm

• “2” = 14 dBm

• “3” = 20 dBm (Highest)

To change the transmission power level, use the “PA” button located on the

front panel.

4.) Channel Group ID: Displays the current channel group (0-9, A-F). In

auto mode, the transmitting unit will autoselect the clearest channel group.

When a receiving unit in a single-group setup is powered on, it will auto-

matically sync to the transmitter. In multiple transmitter/receiver setups,

manual confi guration may be required.

To manually confi gure the channel group ID, use the “ID” button on the front

panel. Set each transmitter/receiver group to the same group ID to ensure

correct operation.
