RC4Magic Series 3 DMXio User ManualPage 9Power RequirementsPower can come from the supplied wall transformer, from external batteries, or (optionallyvia internal jumpers) from XLR pins 4 and 5. A pack of five (or more) AA or AAA batteries, oreven a small 9V battery, can be used for portable operation with, for example, a GoddardDesign DMXter, a BCI Pocket Console DMX, a Fleenor Gizmo, or any other DMX signalsource. The input voltage range is 5V – 35VDC, and the DMXio consumes approximately0.4W of power.Signal Range and Antenna OptionsIn many cases, the DMXio can be connected right at your lighting console or othercontroller, before your DMX signal continues to other devices in your system. The distancefrom console to stage is rarely more than 100 feet, well within the 200 foot range ofRC4Magic.Line-of-sight is not required for RC4Magic, but dense objects between devices — likeconcrete walls — will attenuate the radio signal and reduce the available range.The standard model DMXio provides an internal omnidirectional antenna. The externalantenna option provides an RP-SMA antenna connector for use with high-gain and/ordirectional antennas, or in installations where a remote antenna is deployed using a coaxialantenna cable.Restore DefaultsIf settings for System ID, DMX termination, or channel limiting have been used, you mightwant to restore everything back to defaults when setting up for a new project.
