The RAT Radio system enables various types of electrical device to be controlled from the lighting desk as though they were hard wired to it by DMX cables, but without the cables. One transmitter must be connected to the lighting desk; there is no limit to the number of devices that can be controlled from one transmitter, provided they are within range of it. Additional transmitters can be deployed to increase the range of radio coverage.

The system operates at a fixed frequency within the 2.4GHz band. A choice of frequencies enables transmitters to be set at different frequencies from each other and from other equipment in the same venue.

Radio DMX transmitter

Can be powered by its own built-in battery or from a supplied mains adaptor.
Has two operating modes: Local and DMX Control.

Local mode is ideal for use on location, or out of doors, where no lighting desk is available. All DMX channels are controlled as one, according to the brightness knob on the transmitter. In this mode, using the built in battery enables the transmitter to be totally cordless.

DMX Control mode requires a DMX input signal, which is then broadcast in its entirety. All RAT Radio DMX receivers will then be controlled according to their set address.

Radio DMX controlled LED light

The RAT 24V LEDlight and LEDclip light can be fitted with built in RAT Radio receivers. This enables them to be individually controlled from the lighting desk exactly as if they were hard wired to it via a dimmer.

• Three position switch enables the radio control to be overridden to ON or OFF
• Each stand can be given its own unique address or can share its address with any number of stands in a group
• Radio control gives equispaced control of the light output from fully off to fully on in 255 steps
• The battery condition monitor shows when the battery is nearly exhausted, and in this condition limits light brightness to 30% in order to extend the available working time of the battery.

Radio DMX controlled DC Socket

The Radio DMX controlled DC socket comprises a compact and durable box fitted with a 3 pin XLR socket outlet and a trailing lead with a 3 pin XLR plug. When the plug is connected to any DC power supply (such as RAT’s standard 24V battery pack) the socket outlet becomes a radio controlled variable voltage socket. The effective voltage is determined by the DMX level set at the lighting desk and sent wirelessly via the Radio DMX Transmitter.

• The three position switch enables the radio control to be overridden to ON or OFF
• Each pack can be given its own unique address or can share its address with any number of receivers in a group
• The radio gives pulse width modulated control of the output from the socket in 255 steps from fully off to fully on
• The battery condition monitor shows when the battery is nearly exhausted, and limits the voltage output to 30% in order to extend the available working time of the battery
• The standard voltage is 24V, but other voltage outputs can be made to order.

Radio DMX Bridge Receiver

The Radio DMX Bridge Receiver comprises a compact and durable box fitted with a 5 pin XLR socket. It reproduces at the socket whatever DMX signal is fed into the transmitter. It reproduces at the socket whatever DMX signal is fed into the transmitter. It can therefore be used to control any device with a DMX input, without the need for a DMX cable linked to the
lighting desk.

• The battery powered version is recharged by connecting to a plug top charger. Thus it has absolutely no other external connections – just connect it to DMX input of the device you want to control
• The pass-through versions derive their power from the same supply as the device to be controlled. Trailing mains leads enable any style of plug and socket to be fitted. Available as standard with IEC plug and socket, (as shown) or UK plug and socket. Mains and low voltage versions are available.
