Page 12: Dmx Operation
DMX Operation CORE ColourPoint is equipped with a Wireless Solution W‐DMX wireless radio transmitter Function and receiver. This allows the fixture colour to be set up by or synchronized with sequences produced by a DMX lighting controller or other ColourPoint unit when in Receive, or SLAVE mode. Alternatively when in MASTER mode the unit can be linked to many Slave units which will then duplicate everything output from the Master. If you are not using a ColourPoint as a Master unit then a compatible W‐DMX transmitter attached to a DMX controller is necessary. This could be a lighting desk, a specific controller, or a CORE Point 15, 20 or 30 Master unit. When the ‘Function DMX’ screen is shown, after a few seconds the screen automatically DMX Type reverts to the last mode used, either Master or Slave. By pressing the key the ‘DMX or Master Type’ screen is shown, which allows the user to select the opposite mode using key. DMX Master Operation Once Master mode is set, the Master may be linked to any number of unlinked slaves by pressing the Wireless key momentarily. Master to the unlinked slave units The adjacent link light will flash for a few seconds whilst it links then go solid. DMX Slave Operation When in DMX Slave mode the display will show the current active DMX Start Address so Set DMX the unit can be controlled from elsewhere.

R’bow 10 W‐DMX Pairing and Unpairing ColourPoint units need to be manually paired with the lighting control unit equipped with a W‐DMX transmitter. This could be a lighting desk with DMX Output, or a CORE Point15/20/30 Master unit with a W‐DMX transmitter inside. This allows a group of ColourPoint fixtures to be controlled from the lighting desk or Point15/20/30 Master using the ... - Page 14 Unpairing from all W‐DMX Transmitter units Switch on the ColourPoint. Press and hold the key until the W‐DMX LINK LED is turned OFF. ColourPoint is now unpaired from the W‐DMX transmitter.

For receiver units not to be paired with this transmitter, simply switch off those unwanted receivers before this pairing process. They may be paired with a different transmitter after switching on again and repeating the pairing process with the new transmitter. Pairing with a CORE Point15, Point20 or Point30 Master unit Switch on the ColourPoint. Ensure the ColourPoint is unpaired from any other transmitter (the LINK LED is OFF) – above. Ensure the Master unit is within range and switched on. Select MODE MSTR → MSTR DMX → Add Unit → ‘+’ to select ‘YES’ → to confirm. The transmitter will scan for all unlinked receivers for around 10 seconds; the LINK LEDs flash. ...
