Troubleshooting

 

 

 

PROBLEM

No  sound  from  the  unit.  The 
SIGNAL LED does not light up.

Full power cannot be obtained. The 
LIMIT LED never lights up.

Sound is distorted. The LIMIT LED is 
not on, or only lights up occasionally.

Sound  is  distorted  and  very  loud 
and LIMIT LED lights up.

Hum  or  buzz  when  a  mixer  is 
connected to the unit.

Hum  or  buzz  when  using  lighting 
controls in the same building.

The ON LED does not light up when 
the  mains  connector  is  connected 
and the unit is switched to ON.

 

CAUSE

1 – The signal source is sending no 
signal.
2 – Defective cable.

1 - The signal source does not have 
a hot enough output.

2 - If the connections are correct, It 
might be overheating

1  -  The  mixer  or  signal  source  is 
distorting.

1 - The system is overloaded and 
has reached maximum power.

1.– The console probably has un-
balanced outputs. You may be using 
an 

incorrect 

un-balanced 

to 

balanced cable.
2.–  The  mixer  and  the  powered 
speaker  are  not  plugged  into  the 
same mains outlet.
3.–  The  audio  signal  cable  is  too 
long or too close to an AC cable.

4  -  DASnet  ecP_xx  cable  is 
defective.

5 - Error in DASnet Patch panel 485 
net connection.

1.–  The  audio  signal  cable  is  too 
long  or  too  close  to  the  lighting 
cable.

2.– In a sound system with three-
phase  AC,  the  lighting  equipment 
and the UNIT are connected to the 
same phase.

1.– Bad or loose AC connection to 
the UNIT or the mains outlet.
2 – Faulty AC cable.

3 - Internal fuse blown

 

SOLUTION

1 – Check that the mixer or sound 
source is sending signal to the UNIT.
2 – Check that the cable from the 
sound  source  to  the  UNIT  is 
connected  correctly.  Replace  the 
cable if defective.

1  -  If  using  a  mixer,  use  the 
balanced output if available. Use a 
professional  mixer  with  a  hotter 
output.
2 - Try to cool the unit turning down 
the master of the mixer.

1 - Turn mixer channel gains down. 
Check  that  none  of  your  signal 
sources are distorting.

1 - Turn down the mixer's output.

1.–  Read  the  appendix  of  this 
manual  to  make  a  correct  un-
balanced to balanced cable.

2.– Connect the mixer and the unit 
to the same mains outlet.

3.– Use a cable that is as short as 
possible  and/or  move  the  audio 
signal  cable  away  from  the  mains 
cables.
4  -  Check  that  there  aren´t  pins 
crossed  in  CAT7  cable.  Possible 
short  between  audio  par  and 
DASnet signal.
5 - Make sure that Audio INPUT is 
not connected in DASnet INPUT and 
vice versa.

1.–  Move  the  audio  signal  cable 
away from lighting cables. Try to find 
out at what point the noise is leaking 
into the system.
2.– Connect the sound system to a 
different phase than the lights. You 
may need the help of an electrician.

1.– Check your connections.

2.–  Check  the  cables,  connectors 
and AC power with a suitable mains 
tester.
3 - Replace the fuse for another of 
the same size and type.
