The QIS indicator makes it easy to verify reliable signal strength when installing each
SNAP DMX adapter at its desired location. Hook up and power on your DMX controller
or console as well as the SNAP DMX adapter that you have attached to it. As you power
on each remote adapter, you can glance at LED B to determine whether the adapter is
receiving the wireless DMX traffic. By adjusting your setting for Channel 1 using your
console or controller, you will see LED B change colors on all SNAP DMX Devices set
to the same Universe as the Controller’s SNAP DMX adapter.
If LED B remains dark, or unlit, it is not receiving any DMX traffic at all This could
be caused by having a different Universe or Security Key setting on your SNAP DMX
adapter attached to your controller, or it could be caused by too much interference or
distance between that console and the SNAP DMX adapter with the dark LED B.
While SNAP DMX adapters snoop on Channel 1 to provide this indicator, you can still
use Channel 1 to control DMX devices.
