Welcome W-DMX BlackBox products The W-DMX system lies at the heart of every one of our BlackBox products. W-DMX is specifically engineered by Wireless Solution Sweden AB to provide the same quality, reliability and performance as any hardwired DMX data link. In fact W-DMX gives you greater freedom to create reliable point-to-point and point-tomultipoint installations over large distances. Thank you Thank you for investing in the multi award winning W-DMX system from Wireless Solution Sweden AB.
Overview Point-to-point operation Point-to-point systems are used when you want to send wireless DMX data from a console to a single receiver. As the receiver accepts all 512 DMX channels from the transmitter you can easily daisy chain more fixtures by cable from the original fixture that is wirelessly connected. Tx Rx Rx Tx Rx Point-to-multipoint operation A multipoint W-DMX BlackBox system can support up to 512 individual receivers responding to a single W-DMX BlackBox transmitter.

B-500 Signal booster The B-500 is a high performance two way signal amplifier suitable for use with all BlackBox transmitters or receivers (except Micro models) in order to extend transmission range. The B-500 booster unit is for internal use only. To suit varying installation requirements, the B-500 provides variable power outputs, switchable between three levels: 100, 200 and 500mW (27dBm max).
The B-1000 is a high performance two way signal amplifier suitable for use with all BlackBox transmitters or receivers (except Micro models) in order to extend transmission range within demanding environments. The B-1000 booster unit is fully rated for permanent external installation. The B-1000 is supplied with a power adapter and a DC injector. The latter combines the power input with the antenna signal cable so that power cables do not need to be extended to the location of the B-1000 and antenna.
Trussholders Mounting S-1, S-2, T-1 & R-512 BlackBox units are supplied with trussholder brackets to allow the units to be securely mounted in off-ground locations. Trussholder mounting screws in position 1 Use a Torx® T10 driver to remove the four screws mounted in the top cover of the unit, as shown above (do not remove the screws situated at the four corners). 2 Mount and secure each trussholder bracket so that they are safely held in place, however, take care not to overtighten the screws.

Is W-DMX compatible with other systems on the market? Today there is no standard for wireless transmission of DMX signals and there is no possibility of mixing different brands of wireless DMX solutions in a system. For example, you cannot use a Martin® Wireless DMX-512 - Pro Diversity® with Interactive Technologies® CueLink® even though they use a similar type of physical radio transmission standard. Because of this, no wireless-DMX brand today is compatible with another.
FAQ Questions and answers How many channels of DMX does it control? Each transmitter can control 512 channels (1 universe) of DMX, unlike some wireless systems which only have “half universe” or 256 channels. The S-2 can additionally control a second DMX universe. What antenna should I use? For most indoor applications the 2 dBi antennas work fine. Longer distances, outdoors or unique applications most likely will require different antennas. Please contact us with your intended application questions.
What is the typical power consumption? 300mA average, 320mA maximum. Is there a warranty? FAQ Questions and answers All BlackBox products are covered by a standard 12 month full warranty from the purchase date when you register your products. You can register either at www.wirelessdmx.com or by sending the supplied warranty card to Wireless Solution Sweden AB at the address shown on the rear cover.
