Press the UP orDOWN buttons to toggle between the two modes. Press SAVE onceyou have found your desired mode.To set the display press the MODE button until:“0010” = LED display on at all times.“0020” = LED display shuts off after 10 seconds.Operating Modes:The UV COB Cannon has three operating modes:• DMX control mode - This function will allow you to control eachindividual fixtures traits with a standard DMX 512 controller.• UV Dimmer Mode - Adjust the intensity of UV output. You can alsoapply strobing in this mode and select a dimmer curve.• Sound-Active mode - The unit will react to sound, chasing throughthe built in programs.DMX Mode:Operating through a DMX controller gives the user the freedom tocreate their own programs tailored to their own individual needs. TheUV COB Cannon has 3 DMX modes: 1 Channel mode, 2 Channelmode, and a 3 Channel mode. See page 10 for each DMX traits.1. This function will allow you to control each individual fixture’straits with a standard DMX 512 controller.2. To select your desired Channel mode press the MODE buttonuntil:• 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 inthe fixture via the XLR connections to any standard DMX controller.5. Please see page 10 for DMX values and traits.cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not con-nect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shieldconductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Groundingthe shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.UV COB Cannon Set UpDMX512 IN3-PIN XLRPOWER POWER POWERDMX512DMX+,DMX-,COMMON123Termination reduces signal e rrors andavoids signal transmission problemsand interference.

When longer runs of cable areused, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erraticbehavior. 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 + andDATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the lastunit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator(ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erraticbehavior.DMX512 IN3-PIN XLRUNDREMOTECONTROLINPUTPOWERINPUT OUTPUT SOUNDREMOTECONTROLINPUTPOWERINPUT OUTPUT123Termination reduces signal e rrors andavoids signal transmission problemsand interference.

Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMXfixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting stan-dard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used,these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores.
