RC4 LumenDimMIO

The very compact DC-powered LumenDimMIO transceiver is both a transmitter and receiver based on the LumenRadio TimoTwo CRMX/CRMX2 platform. The LumenDimMIO is easy to integrate with all of your current CRMX devices, and does so at an affordable price. The on-board DMX connection is an RC4 miniplug port.  An adaptor from miniplug to 5-pin female XLR is included with the device.  Male adaptors are also available.

Like all transceivers, the LumenDimMIO has two modes of operation: TX (transmitter) and RX (receiver) but wireless RDM (DMX Remote Device Management) is supported in receiver mode only. Any number of CRMX receivers may be used with any CRMX transmitter, wirelessly linking them all with one wireless DMX universe.

The DMX specification states that up to 32 wired devices may be used on a wired DMX output. The LumenDimMIO exceeds this requirement and is capable of driving more than 32 devices. The LumenDimMIO is also internally protected against static discharge and excessive line loading. The LumenDimMIO will generally work reliably up to 200′ (60m). Line-of-sight is not typically required, but dense objects between units — like concrete walls — will attenuate the radio signal and reduce the available range.

Like all wireless devices, range is also affected by wireless data congestion. A genuine LumenRadio TimoTwo RF module in the LumenDimMIO provides LumenRadio Cognitive Coexistence to avoid congestion and improve wireless performance.

The LumenDimMIO transmits wireless DMX with up to 100mW of RF power. It is also equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, making it functionally very similar to the LumenRadio Moonlite, but without the built-in battery and with fewer on-board LED indicators. The antenna connection allows the use of various specialized antennas to improve range by focusing RF energy where it’s needed most.

The LumenDimMIO can be powered over a wide range of 6V – 35VDC, making it easy to run from almost any external battery pack or DC power supply. The power connection is made with on-board screw terminals.

Compatibility with the LumenRadio CRMX Toolbox app, available for Apple iOS and Android smartphones, makes it easy to configure the LumenDimMIO as a transmitter or receiver, set a Linking Key, check RF signal strength, and more.

As on all RC4 devices, the Link button is recessed to protect from being pushed inadvertently. Use a bent paperclip or small screwdriver to press the button when needed.  The functionality of this button is nearly identical to the Link button on the LumenRadio Moonlite, including various special functions accessible through combinations of long and short presses. Use the CRMX Toolbox app for easier configuration of all available parameters.
