Exterior Projection 500 User Manual 

 

Troubleshooting 

This section describes some possible problems that you may experience and provides some 
suggestions for easy troubleshooting: 

 

Symptom 

Potential cause 

Remedies 

No light from 
fixture.   

Power supply issue such 
as faulty connector or 
damaged cable. 

Ensure that the mains supply is connected 
and supplying power to the fixture. Check all 
power connections and cables.  

Fixture does not 
respond correctly 
to DMX control. 

Incorrect DMX setup. 
 
Fault in the DMX network 
due to connector or cable 
damage or potential 
interference from proximity 
to a high voltage 
installation. 
 
 
 
 
Internal fault. 

Ensure that fixture’s DMX address matches 
address set on DMX control device.  
Check that fixture’s status LED shows that it is 
receiving DMX. If not, check all DMX cables 
and connections.  
Ensure that DMX link is terminated.  
Check that all components on DMX link use 
standard DMX polarity.  
Attempt to control the fixture with another 
DMX control device.  
Move or shield the DMX link if it is close to an 
unshielded high-voltage installation. 
Contact your Martin authorized distributor or 
Martin Global Service for assistance. 

Condensation 
visible on inside of 
front glass. 

Humidity inside fixture. 

Condensation inside the fixture is normal in 
some atmospheric conditions. The fixture will 
gradually expel humidity via its Gore-Tex 
pressure relief valve as it cycles on and off. 
If required, you can remove excessive 
humidity by following the directions given in 
‘Removing and reinstalling the top cover’ 
starting on page 32.
