4.6.2
Linking receivers
Hints
You can link receivers at any time, also during operation.
During the linking procedure the DMX transmission is
interrupted.
Linking a transmitter to a receiver means that any
DMX data put into the transmitter is output at the receiver.
1. Power on the receivers you want to link.
2. Ensure that the receiver is not connected to any other transmitter, i.e., the
LINK LED on the receiver is off:
If required, see chapter "4.7.2 Unlinking from transmitters", page 23.
3. Press the red function button of the transmitter momentarily (1 second).
The transmitter scans for all unlinked receivers for a period of about
5 seconds. The LINK LED flashes rapidly:
If the connection is successful, the LINK LED on the receiver goes on. If
DMX input is available, the DATA LED goes on as well:
If the connection fails, check the position of the receiver, see chapter "4.6.1
Prerequisites for successful linking", page 20.
The signal bar on the receiver indicates the received signal strength.
