7 Micro units
7.1.8 Switching CTRL modes
The CTRL mode determines which frequency band is used and if
Legacy G2/G3 units can be used in the wireless environment.
Switching CTRL mode is identical to the BlackBox and WhiteBox F-1, see
chapter "4.8 Switching CTRL modes", page 21.
Hint
This unit does not support the G4 5.8 GHz mode.
7.1.9 Battery option
The W-DMX G4 Micro units are equipped with a holder for 6 AAA batteries. If
batteries are installed in the unit and 12 V DC power is disconnected, the unit
runs on battery power. The BATT and SIGNAL LED light up alternately every
5 seconds:
• When the BATT LED is on, the signal bars indicate battery status.
• When the SIGNAL LED is on, the signal bars indicate signal strength.
On average, the W-DMX receiver can receive for approximately from
4 to 8 hours in battery mode. The exact battery life depends on the brand of
batteries and mode of the W-DMX unit.
Hint
We recommend testing the discharge time of your selected
batteries before using them in a show environment.
The W-DMX G4 Micro units are compatible with rechargeable batteries (down
to 1.2 V DC per cell). Note, that the batteries cannot be charged with the Micro
units. Please use an appropriate battery charger.
