Listed below are a few common problems the user may 

encounter, with solutions.

No light from the unit;

1.  Check if the ‘Power On’ (red) LED is lit and the fan is 

     running.  If not, there is no main supply.  

2.  Check the fuse in the back panel. 

3.  Check if lamp is lit.  The user should be able to see some 

     light escape through the fan. If power is present but the 

     lamp is not lit, lamp may need to be replaced. 

 

Note: The unit has been designed to shut the lamp down 

after  60  seconds  of  inactivity.  This  is  a  way  of  extending 

lamp life, be assured this is not a problem with the fixture.

Unit not responding to DMX;

1.  If the RED LED in the LCD is flashing, the unit is definitely 

     receiving DMX   

2.  Check for prper DMX addressing. 

3.  If the DMX LED is not lit, check that the DMX cables are 

     connected properly and are wired correctly (pin 3 is 

     ‘hot’; on some other DMX devices pin 2 may be ‘hot’).

     Also, check that all cables are connected to the right 

     connectors; it does matter which way the inputs and 

     outputs are connected.

4.  If it is a bad connection, the RED LED may flash when 

     cables are wiggled (but remember it may also be the 

     unit sensing audio!)

5.  If DMX connectors are fairly short, ordinary microphone 

     cables may be used.  For longer runs, this may cause
