behavior. A terminator is a 90-120 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 ZDMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic
behavior.
Termination reduces signal errors and
avoids signal transmission problems

may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting stan-
dard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be
used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The
chart below details a proper cable conversion.

Operating Modes:
Stand-Alone Operation (Sound Active and Auto Program):
Sound Active:
1. Put dipswitch #1 in the 'On" position. The unit will react to the low
frequencies of music via the microphone.
Auto Program:
1. To run the Auto Program, put dipswitches 1 & 2 in the "On" po-
sition.
POWER
Dipswitch 3 will reverse the rotation.
Dipswitches 4, 5, & 6 will control the speed of rotation.
2. The optional UC3 Controller (not included) may be used to con-
trol different functions including blackout. See the next page for
UC3 controls..
Master-Slave Operation:
This function will allows you to link units together to run in a Master-
Slave mode. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the con-
trolling unit and the others will react to the controlling units built-in
programs. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave however, only
one unit can be programmed to act as the "Master."
1. Using standard XLR microphone cables, daisy chain your units
together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remem-
ber the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR
connector is the output. For longer cable runs we suggest a
terminator at the last fixture.
2. Simply daisy chain the units together using XLR cables.
3. For the Master unit put dipswitch 1 in the "On" position, and all
other dipswitches in the "Off" position. For the Slave units, put
any dipswitch in the "On" position, except the #1 dipswitch.
The #1 dispswitch must stay in the "Off" position on all Slave
units.
