General Operating Instructions
Operating Instructions:
DMX Settings STADIUM AIR SCENT CANNON
The DMX settings are key to the operation of the STADIUM AIR SCENT CANNON. The
three-digit number on the back of the STADIUM AIR SCENT CANNON panel determines
the operation mode for the STADIUM AIR SCENT CANNON. Warning: there are DMX
settings where the STADIUM AIR SCENT CANNON will appear not to operate, so always
review the tables below during setup and operation .

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.

Maintenance Information and Precautions
General Maintenance
The STADIUM AIR SCENT CANNON is a low maintenance unit.
Cleaning and Storing the STADIUM AIR SCENT CANNON
In order to clean the STADIUM AIR SCENT CANNON, fill another plastic container half
full with water and run the unit for 3-5 minutes with the nozzle tilted downward into
another container (if possible). You may clean the plastic exterior of the STADIUM AIR
SCENT CANNON with detergent and water. Do not stack other boxes or items on top
of the STADIUM AIR SCENT CANNON. Store the STADIUM AIR SCENT CANNON in a
cool, dry environment between 40-80 degrees F. If electrical wires are frayed, contact
the factory at 800-745-8599 for service. Never operate the STADIUM AIR SCENT
CANNON with a frayed electrical wire.
Caution: Never remove the cover or housing screws on the Stadium Air
Scent Cannon. This action will nullify the warranty. Contact customer
service at 800-745-8599.
General Repair: The Stadium Air Scent Cannon has a lifetime warranty
and should never require you to disassemble the unit. Please contact
Global Special Effects™ service at 800-745-8599 if you have questions
on its operation or warranty.
Always use Global Special Effects™ approved scent
solutions or the Lifetime Warranty will be nullified.

Types of Trouble and Their Solutions
Symptoms and Cause and/or Corrective Actions
1If the STADIUM AIR SCENT CANNON does not generate snow, review the following checklist.
a) When turned “ON”, is the Fan Operating? (Air is shooting out the nozzle of the STADIUM
AIR SCENT CANNON).
Yes: Move on to
(b)
No: Check the electric plug interface at the outlet connection, and make sure the
remote connector
is connected to the main unit. Check to see if the power switch is “ON” on the main unit.
A red LED light should be illuminated on the back of the STADIUM AIR SCENT CANNON
when power is “ON”. Make sure that the DMX settings meet your desired criteria (see
the DMX section of this manual-the unit should always be operating with settings
between 880-899). Also, the LED light on the remote should be illuminated (blinking) if
the main power is “ON” and the DMX setting is in the 900s. A constant light will
illuminate on the remote if snow is being generated. If the lights are not illuminated,
call customer service at 800-745-8599 or the 24 hr tech line at 256-229-5551 Option 2.
b) Is the Pump Operating?
Yes: If you feel the clear plastic tube vibrating, then the pump is
operating. Go to (c)
No: Recheck the DMX settings per the DMX settings in the manual. The unit
should always operate and blow snow with settings between 880 and 899.
Contact customer service at 800-745-8599 or
256-229-5551 Option 2.
c) Check to see if the tube is fully submerged in solution and is not pinched. A hole
in the hose would require replacement. It sometimes takes up to 2 minutes for
the self-priming pump to saturate the nozzle sock with liquid.
d) Set the Rotary Switch between 880 and 899 to prove that the unit operates.
e) Create a new “Solution Mixture”, per the instructions, if the nozzle sock is saturated with
liquid but no snow is being made.
Is the Snow generated very wet or light in volume? Always allow two minutes or so for
the STADIUM AIR SCENT CANNON to come to full operation after an extended storage
or for the first time operating.
f) Remake another batch of your recipe solution, and check your water to solution ratio
carefully.

g) Make sure the clear tube is completely submerged in the solution.
Contact customer service at 800-745-8599, or call the 24 hr tech line at
256-229-5551 Option 2.
