shock. Never remove covers. The parts inside the device are
maintenance free.
Dangers for children
Ensure a proper disposal of plastic envelopes and packaging.
They should not be near babies nor young children: suffocation
danger. Make sure that children do not remove small parts of the
unit (e.g. knobs, screws or similar). Children could swallow the
pieces and choke. Never leave unattended children use electrical
devices.
Electric shock caused by a short circuit
Do not modify the power cord nor the plug. In case of non-
compliance, there is a risk of electric shock and fire hazard and
death. If in doubt, contact a certified technician.
Risk of fire
Never cover the device nor its ventilation slots. Do not install the
device close to a source of heat. Keep the device away from flames.

The device is designed for indoor use. To prevent damage, do
not expose the product to liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight,
clogging and strong vibrations.
Power supply
Check the operation of the power supply before connecting to
the system.
Before connecting the appliance, check if the voltage indicated
on the device matches the voltage on the local supply network
and if the socket is fitted with a differential circuit breaker. In case
of non-compliance, the device could be damaged and the user
might be injured.
When a storm is announced or the unit must not be used for an
long time, unplug it to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

OVERVIEW
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The
CONNECT RX100s
is a wireless DMX receiver, that uses
LumenRadio CRMX technology (2.4GHz). This system allows
the users to control DMX enabled fixtures wirelessly, several tens
meters away.
CONNECT RX100s
can receive an entire DMX universe (512
channels) without any latency.
A complete system is composed of a
CONNECT TX100
transmitter,
linked with one or several
CONNECT RX100
or
RX100s
receivers,
and can be controlled from a standard DMX controller.
Several
CONNECT TX100
+
CONNECT RX100s
can be used
simultaneously, in order to transmit several DMX universes.
POWER SUPPLY
The
CONNECT RX100s
is powered from the micro USB connector
(1)
, located at the bottom of the case.
Use a standard USB cable to connect the
RX100s
to a Powerbank
or USB charger.
When powered, the indicator
(2)
turns on.
DMX OUTPUT
The DMX signal received form the radio-transmitter is outputed on
the XLR5
(5)
, with the standard pinout :
Pin1: GND | Pin2: DMX- | Pin3: DMX+
Connect all the DMX fixtures to control on this DMX output.
The indicator
DMX (3)
turns on when a DMX signal is received and
outputed on the XLR5.
LINKING WITH TRANSMITTER
By default,
CONNECT RX100s
do no listen to the data sent by the
transmitter
CONNECT TX100
: it is necessary to link the receivers to
the transmitter.
In order to link a
CONNECT RX100s
to a
CONNECT TX100
, follow
this procedure:
- Make sure both devices are powered.
- Start the linking procedure by pressing the dedicated button
on the
CONNECT TX100
.
- During the linking period (10s), any unlinked
CONNECT RX100s
in range will automatically link to the
CONNECT TX100
.
If a
CONNECT RX100s
is linked to a transmitter, the
Link (3)
indicators turns on (even if the transmitter is off).
Several receivers
CONNECT RX100s
can be linked during a single
procedure.
During the linking procedure, the DMX signal is not transmitted.
UNLINKING RECEIVERS
At any moment, it is possible to reset the configuration of the
CONNECT RX100s
, by unlinking the transmitter.
To do so, press the button
(6)
during 3 seconds, until the
Link (3)
indicator turns off.
The
CONNECT RX100s
can then be linked to any transmitter.
RADIO
A four-level gauge
(4)
provides a feedback on the radio signal
strength.
In order to optimize the radio communication, it is recommanded
to install the transmitters and receivers in open spaces, without
large metalic objects.
It is also recommanded to place the antennas as described in the
following image.
LUMENRADIO COMPATIBILITY
EXALUX recommands the use of the transmitters
CONNECT
TX100
. Nevertheless, the
CONNECT RX100s
can be used with any
transmitter compatible with CRMX Technology from LumenRadio.
