Each wiCICLE

®

 acts as both a transmitter and a receiver, depending on whether 

a DMX source is applied to the integral XLR connector.  This is an extremely 

powerful feature of the system, however, it also requires 1 piece of due dilli-

gence, and that is the removal of extraneous DMX signals from your lighting rig 

BEFORE proceeding.

SO: BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE, YOU SHOULD DISABLE ANY 

BUILT-IN PROGRAMS IN THE FIXTURES YOU WISH TO CONNECT AND/

OR SET THEM AS SLAVES PRIOR TO RETURNING THEM TO DMX MODE 

(IF APPLICABLE).  Most fixtures contain a built-in automatic, sound 

active or custom program which is designed to operate with the fixture 

NOT connected to a DMX chain.  

Some of these programs will automatically run unless the fixture is set to slave 

mode.  These fixtures typically sense DMX automatically and switch to DMX 

mode upon receiving DMX signal (our Pucks do that!)  

If you plug a wiCICLE

®

 “receiver” into an autosensing fixture set as a “mas

-

ter, “chances are good that the wiCICLE

®

 “receiver” will begin transmitting the 

master program.  Most times, this is undesirable, and taking the two seconds to 

switch these programs off will solve a lot of ails.

Got that done?  Good!  Then let’s proceed!

1. Plug the wiCICLE

®

 Receiver into the “DMX IN” connector of the fixture and 

verify it is receiving power (the 

STATUS LED

 should illuminate.)

2. Connect the AC/DC adaptor to the the wiCICLE

®

 Transmitter and verify it is 

receiving power (the 

STATUS LED

 should illuminate.)

3. Press the 

RECESSED SELECTOR BUTTON

 on the Transmitter to select the 

operating channel group.  (The system will store this setting 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 Receiver to select the channel group.  

5. Once both the transmitter and receiver(s) are both set to the same chan-

nel group, connect the transmitter to the DMX controller or the DMX out of a 

fixture on your DMX chain.  

6. Once a DMX signal is provided to the transmitter, the status LED will blink 

RED

 

slowly until communication is established with the receiver.  The status 

LED on the  receiver(s) will flash 

GREEN

 slowly until communication is estab-

lished.  

7.  Once the clearest channel is auto-selected, the status LEDs will blink quickly 

on both the transmitter and receiver.  NOTE:  The color of the LED DURING 

operation does not indicate channel group, instead it indicates whether the 

unit is transmitting or receiving.  

That’s It! 

NOTE: “GROUP” number 

also corresponds to the 

“GROUP” setting on our 

LightCaster

 wireless DMX 

Transceiver.
