acts as both a transmitter and a receiver, depending on whether
a DMX source is applied to the integral XLR connector. This is an extremely
powerfulfeatureofthesystem,however,italsorequires1pieceofduediligence,

proceeding.
SO: BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE, YOU SHOULD DISABLE ANY BUILT-
IN PROGRAMS IN THE FIXTURES YOU WISH TO CONNECT AND/OR SET
THEM AS SLAVES PRIOR TO RETURNING THEM TO DMX MODE (IF AP
-
PLICABLE). Most xtures contain a built-in automatic, sound active or
custom program which is designed to operate with the xture NOT con
-
nected to a DMX chain.

“receiver” will begin transmitting the master
program. Most times, this is undesirable, and taking the two seconds to switch
these programs off will solve a lot of ails.
Got that done? Good! Then let’s proceed!
1.PlugthewiCICLE

Receiverintothe“DMXIN”connectorofthextureand
verify it is receiving power (the STATUS LED should illuminate.)
2.ConnecttheAC/DCadaptortothewiCICLE

Transmitter and verify it is receiv-
ing power (the STATUS LED should illuminate.)
3. Press the RECESSED SELECTOR BUTTON on the Transmitter to select the
operating channel group. (The system will store this setting for future use)

4. Follow the same procedure on the Receiver to select the channel group.
