Information #

Using HF Electroconcept products does not change how you use your DMX devices.
The technology used in this product ensures complete transparency between your devices.
For each HF universe, all 512 channels are sent. Frame synchronization ensures there is no latency between the emitter and receiver.
Each receiver has a memory that allows it to send back the last value received if there is a loss of HF connection.
All your products that use built-in receivers can also be used with a wired connection.

The range depends on the environment, approximately 30 m in a hostile environment (between thick walls, for example) and approximately 300 m outdoors.

Installation #

Remote control V1 is switched on with the ON / OFF button on the side. Then, all handlings are performed through the touch screen.

Before first use, please proceed to a battery full charge.

Usage #

Each HF receiver is assigned by default on universe ID 1. At startup, the receiver scans continuously frequencies until it finds the universes to which it is assigned.
By default, your devices are delivered configured on ID universe 1 and the remote control in Auto mode.

Navigation through all remonte control V1 settings is handled with “up” and “down” arrows and by pressing the buttons on the touch screen corresponding to what you want to command.

Control screen:

Picker button allows to toggle between these two control screens. The first screen has predefined colors, the second one has colors to create with the colors wheel.
“White”, “Amber” and “UV” buttons allow to activate them on compatible devices (QPAR188 6in1 or DECOLED 512 for example).
“ALL” allows to control all zones at the same time. Then, there are 8 zones that are addressed in DMX.

Zone	Address
1	1
2	9
3	17
4	25
5	33
6	41
7	49
8	57

Remote control V1 menus description:

How to assign your devices?

• Switch on Remote control V1, ensure the antenna is screwed on the device;
• Go to Remote control Assignment menu, choose the ID of your DMX HF universe ID and DMX address if needed for your DMX HF receivers;
• To select ID universe and address wished, move onto the touch screen with the arrows;
• Once the universe and address selected at the top of the screen, remain in this menu and switch on your device;
• The LEDs on your DMX devices will flash six times quickly to confirm that they have received the assignment information then will flash slowly while searching for a DMX HF signal;
• Once the assignment has been completed, to check that the information has been received, proceed to a transmission test.

CAUTION: by assigning your devices on another ID universe than the default one, namely ID universe 1, remember to change the remote control ID universe as well, otherwise there will be no connection between the remote control and your HF DMX devices.
