GETTING STARTED

What’s In The Box?

• 1 x LightCaster™ Wireless DMX Transceiver

• 1 x Antenna

• An AC power adaptor (12VDC, 500ma)

Getting It Out Of The Box

The LightCaster Wireless DMX Transceiver is a teeny-tiny, really powerful, really useful tool for decableifying your existence. Just think, no more becoming wrapped from head to toe in DMX cables and struggling to escape for hours on end. Whew! Well, now that you’ve got your LightCaster™, you should carefully unpack the box and check the contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If anything looks as if it has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and keep the packing material for inspection. Again, please save the carton and all packing materials. If a fi xture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fi xture be returned in the original factory box and packing.

Powering Up!

All fi xtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the

rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.

Getting A Hold Of Us

If something is wrong, just give us a call or send an email. We’ll be happy to help, honest.

OPERATION

Channel Group ID (4)

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 automatically 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.

POSSIBLE CONFIGURATIONS

The diagrams below show possible confi gurations. Multiple receivers may be used in any possible confi guration.

OPTION 1. A transmitter is connected to the output of the controller, and a receiver is connected at the input of the fi rst DMX fi xture.
