G3/G4 MODES, & RDM OPERATION 
EWDMX IP

™

  can change between 

Generation 3

  protocol  (compatibility  for older 

units), and the new 

Generation 4

 protocol, which supports 

Invisiwire, Datasafe and 

RDM (Remote Device Management)

. 

G4 

receivers automatically detect the mode 

the transmitter is in, so you only need to change the mode of the transmitter to 
change the mode of the entire system.  When the protocol mode has been 
changed, receivers need to be re-connected to their respective transmitters. 

 
TO CHANGE MODES 

1.

Hold down the 

RED FUNCTION

 button for over 10 seconds. Initially, you will see the 

LINK light blink slowly. Do not release the 

RED FUNCTION

 button at this point, as this 

will disconnect all RECEIVERS. Wait until you see the ALL of the LEDs light up, then 
the RED CTL light illuminate, before releasing the 

RED FUNCTION

 button. 

2.

Press and release the 

RED FUNCTION

 button to change between the (3) modes.  

Note that each time the 

RED FUNCTION

 is pressed, the unit will toggle between all 

the different modes. 

3.

Once the desired mode is set, power cycle the unit to begin use in that mode. 

 
The Following Modes Can Be Set: 

Ø

G4 2.4GHz

 (First green SIGNAL indicator on the left and G4 Light is static on). 

Ø

G4 RDM

 (First green SIGNAL indicator on the left is off but G4 Light is static on). 

Ø

G3 2.4GHz

 (First green SIGNAL indicator on the left is static on but G4 Light is off).   

Note: Units ship standard as G3, 2.4GHz for backward compatibility reasons
