without even touching neither ladder or fixture’s buttons. P1 Mini fully supports the 

RDM standards.  

Manual operation 

The  fixture  works  in  manual  operation  when  it’s  not  receiving  DMX  signal  whether 

wired or wireless. You can  adjust  the brightness of all  filaments at once from main 

screen,  or  you  can  control  each  source  individually  from  the  “MANUAL  CONTROL” 

option  in  the  menu  (refer  to  the  “Menu”  chapter  to  learn  how  to  manually  control 

channels).  To enter menu simply hold enter for 2 seconds.  

DMX 512 modes 

The fixture automatically switches into DMX mode after receiving DMX data.  To learn 

how to change the DMX address or signal source (wired or wireless) refer to the “Menu” 

chapter. When the fixture works in the wired DMX mode You can daisy chain fixtures 

using 5 pin DMX wires. When daisy chaining remember, that you can connect up to 

32 devices per DMX 512 universe. Always  terminate  the DMX 512 line. Put the  120 

Ω

 

terminator into last device’s DMX OUT XLR socket.  

 

When the fixture works in the wireless mode (only when WDMX card is installed) it is 

receiving DMX 512 signal from Wireless Solution Sweden transmitters and can send 

the signal throughout the 5 pin DMX OUT XLR socket. You can put the fixture with 

WDMX card installed as a first fixture in a line and use it as a WDMX receiver. The P1 

Mini supports bi - directional WDMX TRX module. It means, that the fixture supports 

RDM in wireless mode too. To link P1  Mini with W-DMX transmitter first use “UPAIR 

ALL  WDMX  DEVICES”  option  from  menu,  than  turn  the  scanning  mode  on  in  the 

transmitter.  Transmitter  will  link  with  all  unlinked  devices.  For  more  detailed 

information please refer to your transmitter’s user manual.
