Control Modes Breakdown for the Chauvet DJ FC-W Wireless Remote Controller
- Receiver Installation – Plug the FC-W receiver into the “Wireless Remote Connector” on the back of your compatible fog machine to enable wireless control.
- Channel Selection via Dip Switches – Each receiver features a dip switch (1–4). Set one switch to “On” per receiver (e.g., CH1 = switch 1 On; CH2 = switch 2 On) so each machine responds only to its assigned button on the transmitter.
- Triggering Fog Output – Press and hold the corresponding numbered button (1–4) on the FC-W transmitter. The fog machine outputs fog continuously while the button is held; releasing the button stops output immediately.
- Real-Time Status LEDs – The receiver’s dual LEDs indicate machine status: red when heating, green when ready to fire. This instant feedback helps prevent premature triggering and ensures optimal operation.
- Multi-Machine Independent Control – Pair up to four separate receivers (and fog machines) with one transmitter. Each numbered button on the FC-W independently controls its assigned machine for synchronized or staggered fog effects.
