TX BACKUP MODE
TX BACKUP mode is intended for use as an immediate backup unit in case of failure
during an event.
This mode works exactly the same as TRANSMITTER mode, but data encoding is
made using the key of another transmitter.
In the event of faiure of the original transmitter, the unit set as TX BACKUP can
generate the same signal as the original and then receiver will work without having to
be paired again.
DO NOT operate the original transmitter and a backup unit togeter as they will inter-
fere each other!
- How to set TX BACKUP mode:
Remove power from
Wi-DMX
unit
Press and hold
SET
key (fig.55)
Power up Wi-DMX, then release
SET
On display appears as in (fig 57):
Use
UP
or
DOWN
key, find
TX BACKUP
Press
SET
key to confirm
- How to 'clone' a transmitter:
When in TX BACKUP mode, Wi-DMX can store
up to 10 different configurations, so it will be
ready to backup one of 10 original transmit-
ters.
Before 'cloning' a transmitter, select where you
want to save its data:
Using
MODE
key (fig.56), find
SELECT CLONE
:
Ta
on display (fig.58)
Press
SET
for more than 2 seconds,
Ta
starts blinking
Using
UP
or
DOWN
key, select one of
Ta

Tj
available settings
Press
SET
key to confirm
Now you can 'clone' your Wi-DMX transmitter unit. You can do that using the origi-
nal transmitter or using a Wi-DPen receiver that has previously been paired with it.
With the original
Wi-DMX
transmitter unit:
Remove any
DMX
cable from both
Wi-DMX

TX
and the
BACKUP
)
Connect a
