outside casing.
2. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth
every 20 days.
3. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging
the unit back in.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture
operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew).
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock or re, do not expose this unit
rain or moisture
• Do not spill water or other liquids into or on to your unit.
• Be sure that the local power outlet match that of the required volt age for your unit.
• Do not attempt to operate this unit if the power cord has been
frayed or broken. Do not attempt to remove or break off the ground
prong from the electrical cord. This prong is used to reduce the risk
of electrical shock and re in case of an internal short.
• Disconnect from main power before making any type of connection.
• Do not remove the cover under any conditions. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
• Never operate this unit when it’s cover is removed.

Power Supply: The American DJ® UVLED Bar16 voltage is between
9v ~ 240v. Because of voltage setup of the unit you do not have to
worry about wall output voltage. This unit is compatiable with all wall
outputs. Be sure to only use the included I.E.C. power cable supplied
with the unit, this cable matches the current requirements of the unit.
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-
tocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures
and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from
the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA
“OUT” terminal).
DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of
different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single
controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several
DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order
in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the
DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1
may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end,
or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address
of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1
to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation):
The UVLED Bar16 can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The UVLED
Bar16 three channel DMX unit. The DMX address is set on the side
panel of the UVLED Bar16. Your unit and your DMX controller require
a approved DMX-512 110 Ohm Data cable for data input and data
output (Figure 1). We recommend Accu-Cable
DMX cables. If you are making your own cables,
be sure to use standard 110-120 Ohm shielded
cable (This cable may be purchased at almost
all professional sound and lighting stores). Your
cables should be made with a male and female
XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also
remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained
and cannot be split.

Notice: Be sure to follow gures two and three when making your own
cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect 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.

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 connected 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.

may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 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

This function will allows you to link units together to run in a MasterSlave mode. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the controlling 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.”
Master-Slave Connections and Settings:
1. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connector on the rear of the
unit. Use standard XLR microphone cables to link your units to gether. Remember that the Male XLR connector is the input and
the Female XLR connector is the output. The first unit in the
chain (master) will use the female XLR connector only. The last
unit in the chain will use the male XLR connector only.
2. Using the Master unit, choose your desired mode or program and
connect the “Slave” unit or units.
3. On the “Slave” unit(s) press the MODE button until “1-SL” is dis played. They will now follow the “Master” unit.
In this mode you can choose one of seven programs to run or you
can choose a sound active mode. When running one of the seven
programs the speed of the program can be adjusted.
1. Plug the fixture in and press the MODE button until “3XXX” is
displayed.
2. Using the UP or DOWN buttons select one of the seven programs.
If you want to run sound active mode, press the UP or DOWN but tons until “3-So” is displayed.
3. To adjust the speed of your selected program, press the MODE
button once more so that “SP-X” is displayed. Now use the UP or
DOWN buttons to adjust the speed. One being the slowest, nine
being the fastest.
Static Mode:
In this mode the UV light will remain static. You can adjust the intensity in this mode as well.
1. Plug the fixture in and press the MODE button until “2XXX” is dis-
played.
2. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to adjust the intensity of the light.
DMX Mode:
Operating through a DMX controller give the user the freedom to create their own programs tailored to their own individual needs.
1. This function will allow you to control each individual fixture’s
traits with a Elation® DMX 512.
2. Press the MODE button until “1.XXX” is displayed. Press the UP
or DOWN buttons to select your desired address. Once you have
found your desired DMX address, plug in the fixture via the XLR
connections to any standard DMX controller.
3. Please see pages 10-13 for DMX values and traits.
