Troubleshooting
Regardless of the control system in place, it is necessary to isolate the
fault to a single piece of equipment.
In general:
• If the problem is with all luminaires it is unlikely they have all gone bad
at the same time, check the control system.
• This can be made easier by running the system test
from the Master Control Processor or the DMX Inter-
preter. Refer to “Chapter 4 System Test” in this manual
for instructions on how to initiate the System Test from
the MCP and DMX-Interpreter.
• In the Composer Lite Control System the system test
program can be found in the Composer Lite Software
“System menu”. Further details of this software can be
found in the Composer Lite Software User’s Guide.
• If the problem is with only one luminaire, check the luminaire.
Luminaire troubleshooting instructions can be found in the luminaires
user manual. Here are some troubleshooting techniques non
luminaire specific.
• Verify fixture address of the luminaire matches the ad-
dress entered in the configuration screen of the Com-
poser Software on the PC. Refer to the Composer
Software User’s Guide for address setting information.
• Verify start address on DMX Interpreter is correct. Prop-
er operation of the luminaire may be verified by use of
the luminaire self test described in the specific luminaire
user’s manual.
