used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic
behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con-
nected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and
DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last
unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator
(ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic
behavior.
Termination reduces signal errors and

fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting stan-

these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart
below details a proper cable conversion.

LED Display On/Off:

To set the LED display to turn off after 10 seconds, press the MODE
button until either "0010" or "0020" is displayed. Press the UP or
DOWN buttons to toggle between the two modes. Press SAVE once
you have found your desired mode.

Operating Modes:

The UV COB Cannon has three operating modes:
• DMX control mode - This function will allow you to control each
individual fixtures traits with a standard DMX 512 controller.
• UV Dimmer Mode - Adjust the intensity of UV output. You can also
apply strobing in this mode and select a dimmer curve.
POWER
• Sound-Active mode - The unit will react to sound, chasing through
the built in programs.

DMX Mode:

Operating through a DMX controller gives the user the freedom to
create their own programs tailored to their own individual needs. The
UV COB Cannon has 3 DMX modes: 1 Channel mode, 2 Channel
mode, and a 3 Channel mode. See page 10 for each DMX traits.
1. This function will allow you to control each individual fixture's
traits with a standard DMX 512 controller.
2. To select your desired Channel mode press the MODE button
until:
• To run the 1 Channel Mode, press the MODE button until "XXX1"
is displayed. This is the 1 Channel DMX Mode.
• To run the 2 Channel Mode, press the MODE button until "XXX2"
is displayed. This is the 2 Channel DMX Mode.
• To run the 3 Channel Mode, press the MODE button until "XXX3"
is displayed. This is the 3 Channel DMX Mode.
3. After you have chosen your desired DMX Channel mode plug in
the fixture via the XLR connections to any standard DMX control
ler.
5. Please see page 10 for DMX values and traits.
