7. Troubleshooting

  

 

 

Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are some 

suggestions for easy troubleshooting: 

A.

 

The fixture does not work, no light 

 

1.

 

Check the connection of power and main fuse. 

2.

 

Measure the mains voltage on the main connector. 

 

B.

 

Not responding to DMX controller 

 

1.

 

Check DMX connectors, cables to see if link properly. 

2.

 

Check  the  address  settings  and  DMX  polarity. 

3.

 

If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on connectors or on PCB of the 

fixture or the previous one. 

4.

 

Try to use another DMX controller. 

5.

 

Check  if  the  DMX  cables  run  near  or  run  alongside  to  high  voltage  cables  that  may  cause 

damage or interference to DMX interface circuit.

 

C.

 

No response to the sound 

 

1.

 

Make sure the fixture does not receive DMX signal. 

2.

 

Check microphone to see if it is good by tapping the microphone. 

 

D.

 

One of the channels is not working well 

 

1.

 

The stepper motor might be damaged or the cable connected to the PCB is broken. 

2.

 

The motor’s drive IC on the PCB might be out of condition.
