WIRELESS CONTROL OVERVIEW:
Each Zylight fixture may be connected to another Zylight fixture
using the integrated ZyLink wireless control. There is no network to
configure, no routers to set - it’s wireless, it’s automatic and it’s built
into most Zylight fixtures. Zylight instruments linked together on the
same channel act in concert as if they were one unified source.
Adjustments made to one light will change all lights in the group. A
group can support as many Zylight ifixtures as you wish.
Some Zylight fixtures may be operated independently and others
operated in one or more groups. Any independent Zylight fixtures may
be associated with a group. Wireless settings are saved when power
is removed from an fixture allowing breaks during filming or lighting
plan changes without losing settings.
The effective range for ZyLink varies on specific conditions, but will
reliably work within about 60 feet (about 20 meters). Because the
Bridge works with your iOS’ Bluetooth system, it should remain within
10-20 feet (about 5 meters) of your iOS device.
ZyLink OPERATION:
Most Zylight fixtures have ZyLink already included in the hardware of
the fixture. At the time of this manual printing, the following fixtures
have ZyLink built in: All F8-100s, All F8-200s, All F8-300s, Beem
Retro, All IS3/c, Z90, and Z50. Zylink can be used from fixture to
fixture, with the Zylight Remote or this ZyLink Bridge and App. The
App does not work without the presence of a charged and powered
Bridge in it’s vicinity.
FIXTURES with ZyLink:
Press and hold in the wireless button on your fixture for 3 seconds.
The display will show the ZyLink wireless icon when it is active.
ZyLink enabled fixtures can be connected to one of 10 ZyLink
channels. To set or change the ZyLink channel, press and quickly
release the wireless button to toggle through channels 1-10 or rotate
the dial depending on the fixture.

USE & OPERATION:
The ZyLink Bridge works in conjunction with the ZyLink App for iOS,
which can be downloaded for free on the App store.
Charging the ZyLink Bridge:
For proper operation, be sure to fully charge your ZyLink Bridge for a
full 6-8 hours for the longest battery life. The included Micro USB
cable will insert into the Bridge and can be charged with any 5 volt
USB charger. A green LED on the Bridge will illuminate when the
device is charging. When the device charges to around 90%, the
green LED will turn off. The device can be used wirelessly or while
plugged in to a USB charger. Battery run time for the device is
between 10-14 hours depending upon usage and the level of initial
charge. When the battery reaches 20% capacity, the USB socket will
glow orange.
POWERING ON/OFF:
The ZyLink Bridge is very simple to operate, simply hold the Bridge
with your thumb and forefinger and gently squeeze the rubber button
on the device and hold it in for approximately one second. The device
will power up and a green LED will gently blink every few seconds.
To power the device off, again, squeeze and hold the button in for
one second and the device will power down and indicate its off state
by signing off with 4 short flashes. Anytime you plug in the power to
charge, the device will automatically power on and remain on until you
turn it off.
