THE CONTROL PANEL
The control panel allows you to choose the
radio channel and it also indicates both the
signal strength plus the DMX status.
The two digit display automatically blacks out
(and locks) roughly twelve seconds after your
last button press.
SIGNAL STRENGTH
The radio signal strength is shown on Aria
units when they are in receive mode; varying
from zero to five red bars.
If the signal strength reduces to two bars
or less, operation will become affected and
you may need to take action to remedy the
situation:
•
Ensure that the line of sight between
transceivers is as clear as possible.
•
If possible, reposition the antenna(s)
or move the transmitter closer to the
receiver(s).
•
If possible, perform a radio survey to
determine possible causes of interference.
Using different Aria radio channels may
improve reception in the presence of other
radio sources, such as WiFi devices. See
page 10.
•
To cover long distances, consider installing
a pair of Aria transceivers as a repeater. See
page 9.

CHOOSING A CHANNEL
TO UNLOCK AND CHOOSE A RADIO CHANNEL
1 Simultaneously press and hold the and buttons. The current radio channel will be
shown and then after roughly seven seconds the unit will unlock to allow you to change
the radio channel, as required.
2 Use the and buttons to increment or decrement the radio channel (between 0 and
14) on each Aria unit. See page 10 for channel details.
Notes: If more than one pair of Aria units are used in the same area, maintain a gap of at least
one radio channel between pairs, see page 8. There must never be two transmitters using
the same radio channel in the same area.
The panel will lock again (to prevent the channel being changed accidentally) roughly
twelve seconds after the last button press.
