The display will lock and blackout after 30 seconds, press
the MODE button for 3 seconds to unlock.
DMX Mode:
Operating through a DMX controller give the user the freedom to cre-
ate their own programs tailored to their own individual needs. The UV
Flood 36 has 3 DMX modes: 1 Channel Mode, 2 Channel Mode, and
3 Channel Mode.
1. This function will allow you to control each individual fixture’s
traits with a standard DMX-512 controller. See pages 10-11 for
detailed description of the DMX values, and traits.
2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures
on 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 the
represents 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 ENTER
button to select your desired DMX channel mode. “CHXX” will be
displayed. “XX” represent the current DMX channel mode. Use
the UP and DOWN buttons to find your desired DMX channel
mode.
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 on
the 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. This is the
strobe mode. Use the UP or DOWN buttons to adjust the strobe
speed.

Notice:
Be sure to follow figures two and three when making your own
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 shield
conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding
the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

Termination reduces signal errors and

to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance

and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.

Special Note: Line Termination.
When longer runs of cable are
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.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.
Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR
connectors for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures
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.
