EachwiCICLE

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

powerfulfeatureofthesystem,however,italsorequires1pieceofduedili-

gence, and that is the removal of extraneous DMX signals from your lighting rig

BEFORE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 APPLICABLE). Most xtures contain a built-in automatic, sound

active or custom program which is designed to operate with the xture

NOT connected to a DMX chain.

Someoftheseprogramswillautomaticallyrununlessthextureissettoslave

mode.ThesexturestypicallysenseDMXautomaticallyandswitchtoDMX

mode upon receiving DMX signal (our Pucks do that!)

IfyouplugawiCICLE

“receiver”intoanautosensingxturesetasa“mas-

ter,“chancesaregoodthatthewiCICLE

“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.PlugthewiCICLE

Receiverintothe“DMXIN”connectorofthextureand

verify it is receiving power (the STATUS LED should illuminate.)

2.ConnecttheAC/DCadaptortothewiCICLE

Transmitter and verify it is re-

ceiving 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)

The7-ColorStatusLEDwillchangecolortoindicatethecurrentchannelgroup:

· GROUP 1: RED

· GROUP 2: GREEN

· GROUP 3: YELLOW

· GROUP 4: BLUE

· GROUP 5: VIOLET

· GROUP 6: CYAN

· GROUP 7: WHITE

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

5. Once both the transmitter and receiver(s) are both set to the same chan-

nel group, connect the transmitter to the DMX controller or the DMX out of a

xtureonyourDMXchain.

operation does not indicate channel group, instead it indicates whether the

unit is transmitting or receiving. That’s It!

Transceiver.
