Set Up
TO CHOOSE A LOCATION
Place the Base Station on a stable surface, clear of obstructions.
It is recommended that the unit be elevated above nearby
objects and people to minimize physical interference. Do not
place the Base Station in location that could result in injury or
damage as a result of a fall.
TO CONNECT THE BASE TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Attach the included power supply into the 12 V DC barrel con-
nector input on the rear of the Base Station. Attach the included
NEMA 5-15P (USA) or Schuko (Europe) power cable to the pow-
er adapter, then plug it into an AC power receptacle. The power
supply accepts voltages ranging from 100 V -240 V AC.
TO PLUG IN THE RECEIVER
Simply plug the Receiver into the DMX IN port on your ARRI
SkyPanel or other DMX capable fixture. The XLR connector can
swivel 180º to provide necessary clearance. Plug the USB-A tail
into the USB port below the DMX IN on your SkyPanel to provide
power. Check, if the USB mode of the SkyPanel is set to „Nor-
mal". Otherwise the Receiver is not powered and will not work.
TO POWER ON
Flip the Power switch downwards to power on the Base Station.
The unit will power on and be ready within 10 seconds.
Connect to the Control Data Source
You can now connect to the ARRI SkyLink system using WiFi,
Ethernet, or DMX.
Wi-Fi CONNECTION
•
To log in to the Base Station, first connect to the WiFi net-
work on your control device. Find the Base Station in your
list of networks and join it. Enter the password when re-
quested.
•
Default SSID: ARRI SkyLink Base Station
•
Default Password: ArriSkyLink
•
Please note that the passwords are case sensitive.
LINKING
•
Ensure that your Receivers are powered and unlinked.
•
Briefly press the Link button on the back of your SkyLink
Base Station. The Status light on your SkyLink Receivers
will blink for several seconds in unison with the CRMX Sta-
tus light on the SkyLink Base Station. Linking is complete
when flashing stops.
LIGHT OPERATION
When your device is connected and your receivers are linked,
open your Art-Net or sACN compatible DMX lighting control app.
In most cases, use these default settings:
IP Address
Protocol
Universe
Sub Net
OPERATING RANGE
The SkyLink has a range of about 500 m (1.640 ft) over CRMX.
External factors, such as walls, vegetation, or even people in
between the Base Station and Receiver can severely degrade
the range. Best practice is to have an uninterrupted line-of-sight
(LOS) between the Base Station and the Receiver.
UNLINKING
•
To unlink one Receiver, press and hold its Unlink button for
more than 3 seconds to unlink it from a transmitter. The
CRMX indicator will extinguish.
•
To unlink all receivers, press and hold the Link button on the
Base Station for more than 3 seconds to unlink all receivers
currently paired with the Base Station.
