How to troubleshoot a UAC Target

In this guide you will learn how to change a UAC board, plug-in cable connections, and how to see if a UAC board is getting power, as well as making sure it is connected to the server.

UAC Types and Functions

A UAC can function as a target, energy gate, hex base, or for a custom sound prop.

  • UAC Energy Gate - energy gate
  • UAC Target - target
  • UAC Hex Base - hex base
  • UAC Target Prop

UAC board versions

There are two types of UAC boards. The master and the aux. The master has the Wi-Fi module and where you will plug in the power cable. The aux will be used when daisy changing off of the master with a ethernet line.

Opening the UAC and replacing the board

To open the UAC target you will need to remove the top cover by undoing the 4 screws.

Next, pull the UAC board straight up and out. Do not pull too fast or the speaker wire could get damaged.

Unplug the UAC board and you can now replace it with a new one.

Connecting the wires

There are a few ways to setup your UAC board connections. If it is a single target you will only need the master board, a power cable and two terminators. If you are connecting an aux board to the master you will then need an ethernet line. You always want to make sure there is a RJ45 plugged into an open port.

How to verify the UAC is powered on

When you first power on the UAC master, and any AUXs connected to it, the LEDs will flash white. Once connected to the game server the LEDs will go off. You can make sure the UAC board has power by checking for the small green LED and making sure the power brick is getting power.

Connection to the Game Server
To verify the target is on the server, open the Game Server and look for Smart Target. If you see green connections you are good. If you do not see any connections or they are red that means your UAC master is either powered off or you have a faulty board.
