The UVFlood 36 has 3 DMX modes: 1 Channel Mode, 2 Channel Mode, and3 Channel Mode.1. This function will allow you to control each individual fixture’straits with a standard DMX-512 controller. See pages 10-11 fordetailed description of the DMX values, and traits.2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedureson pages 5-6 as well as the set-up specifications that are includ-ed with your DMX controller.3. Press the MODE button until “AXXX” is displayed. “XXX” is therepresents the current DMX address. Use the UP and DOWN but-tons to set your desired DMX address.4. After you have set your desired DMX address, press the ENTERbutton to select your desired DMX channel mode. “CHXX” will bedisplayed. “XX” represent the current DMX channel mode. Usethe UP and DOWN buttons to find your desired DMX channelmode.5. Once you have set your DMX address and DMX channel mode,use your DMX controller’s faders to control the various DMX fix-ture traits.6. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator onthe last fixture.Static Mode:In this mode the UV light will remain static. You can adjust the inten-sity in this mode as well.1. Plug the fixture in and press the MODE button until “LXXX” is dis-played.2. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to adjust the intensity of the light.3. Press the ENTER button and “S-XX” will be displayed.

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 Flood 36 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 XLRSOUNDREMOTECONTROLINPUTPOWERINPUT OUTPUT SOUNDREMOTECONTROLINPUTPOWERINPUT OUTPUT123Termination reduces signal e rrors andavoids signal transmission problemsand interference.

Some manufactures use 5-pin XLRconnectors for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixturesmay 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 beused, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores.
