Long Distance Relay
Here Easy Light Linkers are used to relay
information beyond the range of the first transmitter.
The Easy Light Linkers on the right are set to one
frequency. The ones on the left are set to another
frequency. The PC directing the show transmits the
data for the show using the locally connected Easy
Light Linker. The right Easy Light Linker in the
second row of the diagram receives this show data
and sends it to the attached controllers and the Easy
Light Linker on the left side which re-transmits the
show data on a different frequency to be received by
the Easy Light Linker in the bottom row.

Installation Considerations
The Easy Light Linker was designed to be a simple
replacement for the data cable between LOR
controllers and/or the controlling PC. It requires no
change (software or hardware) in any LOR
controller. You do not configure Easy Light Linkers
as transmitters or receivers. They automatically
switch as necessary by continuously monitoring both
the RF (Radio Frequency) for LOR commands and
the RS485 (hardwired cable) for LOR commands.
Use a LAN cable to connect the Easy Light Linker to
either an LOR controller or a PC using an LOR
Deluxe USB-485 adapter.
Please take the time to read through the following
dos and don’ts.
1. The cable between the transceiver and the
controller or adapter must be 25’ or less. The
transceiver is powered by the controller(s) or
an LOR Deluxe USB-485 adapter. A long
cable causes excessive voltage drop resulting
in transceiver failure.

2. The antenna should point up, be a least a foot
away from any vertical surface and about 8’
off the ground. If possible, try to avoid
obstructions between transceivers.

3. The case is water tight for water falling on top
of it (antenna pointing up.) Do not mount the
