Using the Controller
Stadium Air Scent Cannon Controller
The Stadium Air Scent Cannon controller consists of one fan relay, a pump controller
and control interface capable of receiving a DMX signal or a proprietary remote control
signal. The DMX address is set via a three digit rotary switch located on the back of the
device. The DMX address is set in a decimal fashion.
DMX Mode Channel Level
When the mode channel is set to one of the
Momentary positions (either 5 or 15 min
cycle), the Cycle Time and Duration channels
become active. The cycle time channel
establishes the time it takes for the entire
event. Duration channel is the length of time
of snow output. The minimum time of one
cycle is 18 seconds with a ten second ON
time, a four second SNEEZE, and a four
second WAIT. A sneeze is when the blower
remains on without the pump and dries the
sock, preventing postnasal drip.
The following tables show all the settings that can be attained with the use of the three
digit rotary switch located on the back of the device. An ‘X’ indicates that the number in
that position does not matter for the required result to be attained. Switch A is in the
hundreds position, Switch B is in the tens position, and Switch C is in the ones position.
Table 1- Mode Settings
Table 1 shows that there are six
modes in which the device may
operate: Idle, DMX, 5 minute
cycle, 15 minute cycle, always
on, and remote.

Using the Controller
Stadium Air Scent Cannon Controller
Table 2 – 5 Minute Cycle
Table 3 – 15 Minute Cycle
Table 2 displays the
settings for the 5
minute cycle. Within
this mode, the device
cycles are dependent
on
the B switch setting.
The cycle time is the
total time of the
event, and the “on
time” is the length of
time of snow output,
similar to the
duration in the “DMX
mode”. Otherwise,
the machine is in a
WAIT state
Table 3 displays the
settings for the 15
minute cycle. Within
this mode, the device
cycles are dependent
on
the B switch setting.
The cycle time is the
total time of the
event, and the “on
time” is the length of
time of snow output,
similar to the
duration in the “DMX
mode”. Otherwise,
the machine is in a
WAIT state
Example: Switch “B”
represents the percentage
of time the machine is

running out of 15 minutes.
So “4” would represent
40% of 15 minutes of run
time, or 6 minutes of run
time out of 15 minutes. By
placing switch “B” to “4,”
there will be 6 minutes of
run time and 9 minutes of
wait time.
Using the Controller and the Remote
Remote Control
The remote control provides a tethered remote control connection to the Stadium Air
Scent Cannon. The 3 rotary switches must be at 900 or greater for remote function to be
enabled. The remote has control over the on/off and scent output functions. The scent
output knob provides variable settings from small (0) to large (5) flakes. There is also a
status LED to inform the user that the unit is on and powered.
When the unit is powered and the power switch on the remote is set to the off position,
the red LED on the remote will slowly pulse to inform the user that the unit is in standby.
When the user changes the switch to on, the LED will go to a solid red.
