CREATING A WIRELESS DMX INPUT

The optional Acclaim Lighting Aria units allow you create a wireless DMX link up to 2600 
feet (792m) line of sight, between your control output and the Aqua Driver. Setup and 
configuration is straightforward: 
1  Connect the DMX output of one Aria unit to the DMX input (using either the terminal 

block or the XLR connector) of the Aqua Driver.

2  Connect your DMX control source to the DMX input of the other Aria unit (when a valid 

signal is sensed, the Aria unit will automatically configure itself as a transmitter).

3  Ensure both Aria units are using the same radio channel.
The DMX signal presented at the transmitter will be replicated at the receiver and be fed to 
the Aqua Driver. See the 

Aria Wireless DMX guide

 for more details.     

CONVERTING A 0-10V INPUT

The optional Acclaim Lighting UDM (Universal Dimming Module) unit allows you to 
collectively control a group of Aqua Graze fixtures using a 0-10V analog input. Setup and 
configuration is straightforward: 
1  Connect the DMX output of the UDM unit to the DMX input (using either the terminal 

block or the XLR connector) of the Aqua Driver.

2  Connect your 0-10V control source to the appropriate input of the UDM unit.
3  Configure the UDM to perform the conversion. 

Note: The UDM also has a mains power 

supply pass through to which the Aqua Driver can be connected; thus, only one mains input is 
required to supply the two devices.

The 0-10V signal presented at the UDM will be converted into a single DMX channel and 
fed to the Aqua Driver; the Aqua Driver will need to be placed into 

1 Group

 mode. The single 

channel input best suits Aqua Graze White emitters. See the 

UDM guide

 for more details.
