Operation and mounting
To activate the device, plug it into a mains socket. Once it's connected to an active power source, it will turn
on automatically.
During startup, ‘AYRA’ will be shown on the display, which means the device is not ready to be operated.
Once the device has fully started up, it will jump to the last used mode. Operation modes and other settings
shown on the display can now be adjusted or changed by means of the menu buttons.
The device has no automatic DMX signal detection. If you want to use the device in DMX mode, manually
select DMX mode and optionally change the starting address. For new devices, this will normally be DMX
address 001. Of course, you can change the DMX address via the display using the menu buttons.
Using the display and the menu buttons, you can adjust the functions and settings of the device. Press
'Enter' to confirm an adjustment or select a function, use ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ to change amounts and ‘Menu’ to
go back to the menu. By holding the ‘Menu’ button down for 2 seconds after saving a specific setting, the
device will return to operation mode and adopt the setting. This will also be done after any changes in the
operation mode or DMX address. This operation is not always necessary, considering the device
automatically does this after a new setting is confirmed.
The menu contains the following options and functions.
display Mode Function
A00X DMX Address Configuration Address A001 … A512
C000 Stand Alone Settings CD00 CD99 (0 100% Dimmer)
CF00 CF99 (Strobe off slow fast)
CN0X Quick Stand Alone Selection CN01 100% Output level
CN02 66% Output level
CN03 33% Output level
AUTO Automatic Program AU00 AU99 (Slow fast)
LAV Slave Mode ‘Enter’ will automatically set the device as slave.
If not set to slave, the device will operate as
Master.
OUN Sound Controlled Mode with
adjustable sensitivity
S000 S099 (Not sensitive – Very sensitive)
1CH / 2CH DMX Channel Mode Selection 1CH = 1 Channel DMX mode
2CH = 2 Channel DMX mode
You'll find an explanation of the various functions below:
ADDR: With this function, you can determine the DMX start address of the device. Set it channel 001, and
the device will read DMX channel 1. Set it to channel 003, then the device will read DMX channel 3, etc.
C000: This device can be used as a stand alone unit and thanks to the possibility to separately set the
dimmer intensity and stroboscobe speed, you can decide how you want the device to behave within your set
up. Separately adjust the dimmer and flashing intensity.
AUTO: This device features an automatic show mode. This demo mode shows different programs and
effects. The speed setting is adjustable.
LAV: The Master Slave mode is designed to sync multiple devices. A copy of the internal program is sent
to the daisy chained devices so that each one projects the same effect. The master slave function works by
means of standard 3 pin XLR cables. The only difference is that the first device in the chain does not receive
DMX input. In Slave 1 mode, the device will copy the exact signal directly from the Master.

OUN: This device can be used in sound controlled mode to show different effects depending on the beat it
registers. The sensitivity can be adjusted when activating this mode. The higher the sensitivity value, the
more sensitive the internal microphone becomes.
Operating Modes
The following overview is designed to show the differences between the various operation modes that are
supported by the above mentioned menu functions.
Auto:
Automatic mode allows you to choose one of the operating modes that do not depend on external factors
(such as sound controlled signals or the presence of sound). Choose one of the basic programs and
optionally adjust speed or intensity settings.
ound:
When in Sound controlled mode, the device's internal microphone detects the music and reacts to the beat.
The device will move in sync with the music and provide an automated light show.
When there is no music for the device to detect or when only high frequencies are audible, the device will
continue its program at a slower pace, so the light show will not stop abruptly. As soon as the microphone
detects music again, it will resume the automated program and follow the beat.
lave
In Slave mode, you can daisy chain multiple devices of the same type so they all function a specific way.
This way you can coordinate your light show by having multiple separate devices moving the same way
instead of all different directions, which can be chaotic. Basically, you can connect an unlimited number of
slave devices to a master device, but a DMX booster is required in between. Generally speaking, you can
connect up to four armatures together without the need for a DMX booster.
Be aware that when you attempt to connect devices of different types and brands, they may behave
strangely and you may not get the desired effect because certain functions are linked to the wrong channels.
This is true of DMX lighting of all brands and types.
DMX
The DMX mode is the most comprehensive way to maintain ultimate control over all the functions this device
has to offer. It enables you to determine exactly how many functions you want to control via the DMX
controller or DMX software.
This device can be set to various channel modes so the channel layout, which is shown below, corresponds
perfectly with your DMX circle layout, as well as with the functions you will be using.
1CH mode:
CH Function Value
1 Dimmer 0 100% 000 255
2CH mode:
CH Function Value
1 Dimmer 0 100% 000 255

Installation and connection requirements
Now that you know how the UV LED Blaster works, it's important to know how to use it correctly and safely,
according to the installation and connection requirements.
Make sure the device and connection cables are out of reach of children, and that if children are present,
they are under adult supervision at all times. Because this device can be used upright or suspended,
children could pull on the cables, causing the device to fall on top of them. To avoid injury, it is important to
pay close attention to the position and/or installation of this device.
Upright use
If you wish to use the UV LED Blaster in upright position, ensure the device is placed on a stable surface like
a table, DJ booth or bar. The UV LED Blaster has not been equipped with rubber feet, so make sure it can’t
topple over when someone trips over its cables.
uspended use (brackets)
If you wish to use the UV LED Blaster in a suspended position, use the included suspension bracket,
tightening knobs and rubber rings to mount it.
The rings are placed in between the bracket and the armature. Tighten the knob on each side to firmly fix the
bracket in place.
If you want to mount a half coupler or a G hook to the brackets, it is advised to do this before mounting the
brackets to the armature. You can find standard hooks and/or brackets for 35 or 50mm tubes (truss or light
stand) at your local dealer.
Hardware for mounting the UV LED Blaster to a wall, ceiling, or beam is not included. Contact a specialist if
you're not surewhich hardware is required for your situation. A wooden beam and stone wall require different
mounting methods.
Should you want to suspend the UV LED Blaster, you will need to attach a safety cable to the armature. This
is not included, but is available at your local dealer. The UV LED Blaster is equipped with an eyelet for
hooking a safety cable. Once it's hooked on, you can wrap the cable around the truss or light stand and
attach it again by means of the same hook. This ensures the device is secured and prevents it from falling,
even if one or both of the brackets should come loose.
Ensure that the safety cable has a load capacity of 10x the weight of the armature and that the device can
not fall farther than 30 cm. You can wrap the safety cable around the truss or light stand several times to
ensure the fall is as short as possible. The shorter the fall, the less chance of damage or injury.
Light source
The UV LED Blaster features powerful LED modules, bundled by a special reflector. Never look directly into
the lens at close range, as the human eye can't adjust to the sudden intensity of the beam of light this device
produces. It won't result in permanent damage, but it can cause temporary blind spots, which may cause
disorientation and discomfort.
Parts and repair
This product does not include spare parts and can not be repaired by the user. All inspections and overall
maintenance should be done by a specialist.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the exterior of this device monthly with a dry, or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Ensure that the device
is unplugged before cleaning it.

Check if all the screws are intact and secured and tighten or replace them where needed. Check all metal
parts of the device for any signs of corrosion. If corrosion is found, the device needs to be checked
thoroughly.
Power output
The UV LED Blaster is fitted with an IEC C14 power input and an IEC C13 power output. This makes it
possible to link multiple devices with one single power supply, wall socket or power block.
The fuse fitted in this device is intended to protect only the device itself. The input and output of the power
supply are directly wired to each other.
IEC C13/C14 connectors can only handle 10A (2300W), even when plugged into a 16A group. Because the
device itself consumes energy, we recommend you connect no more than 2000 Watts worth of external
devices to the UV LED Blaster. Avoid connecting devices consuming huge amount of energy like analogue
stroboscobes, blinders and smoke machines. Linking up multiple different LED armatures is not a problem.
Detachable optics
The LED UV Blaster comes with mounted optics for a slightly more concentrated light bundle. By turning the
silver knobs, you’re able to detach the device’s optics for a wider beam angle. The device can be used with
or without optics.
DMX terminator
In DMX mode, it’s standard practice to place a terminator at the end of a DMX circuit. A DMX terminator is an
electrical termination consisting of a 120 Ohm resistor, that’s placed between the second and third pin to
eliminate possible data reflections. Data reflections can cause strange behaviour in DMX controlled devices.
DMX terminators are sold separately but you may yourself decide to solder a 120 Ohm resistor between the
second and third pin of a standard male XLR connector.
