7.1 TX BACKUP MODE TX BACKUP mode is intended for use as an immediate backup unit in case of failure during an event. This mode works exactly the same as TRANSMITTER mode, but data encoding is made using the key of another transmitter. In the event of faiure of the original transmitter, the unit set as TX BACKUP can generate the same signal as the original and then receiver will work without having to be paired again.
With a Wi-DPen receiver (this way you can clone a TX even AFTER it is dead...): Remove any DMX cable from Wi-DMX set as TX BACKUP Connect Wi-DPen to DMX-IN plug of Wi-DMX On Wi-DMX TX BACKUP, using MODE key (fig.56), find 'CLONE PAIRING' on display, then press SET for more than 2 seconds, PAIRING: READING... appears (fig.61) After a few seconds PAIRING: OK should appear on display (fig.63) Wi DMX TX BACKUP Wi DMX TRANSMITTER clone pairing PAIR RECEIVER Fig. 59 PAIRing : reading Fig.
