Light/s do not
respond to DMX
controller
Check that the DMX electrical connections
between the DMX controller and the driver
have been made correctly
(the green LED on the driver/s should be
blinking when receiving the DMX signal)
Solid Green

Check the link cable connection between

Ensure the terminator has been fitted in the
DMX OUT of the last driver.
(120 Ohm resistor between DMX+ and DMX-)
Terminator not
fitted
Fit terminator
Disconnect the control cable from the
output of the controller and measure the
resistance between the DMX+ (yellow
wire) and DMX- (brown wire). This value
should be greater than 120 Ohms but not
exceed 180 Ohms.
The measured
value is not
between
120-180 Ohms
Check that all drivers are
connected in chain and
the last driver has
terminator fitted in
Unplug the link cable from
the first driver DMX Out,
unplug the terminator
from the last driver.
Connect the terminator
into DMX Out of the first
driver and measure the
resistance. If resistance
reading is between
120-180 Ohms move
along to the next driver
working your way up to
the last driver to identify
where there is a break in
the DMX chain that could
be due to broken wiring or
loose connections.
If all of the above is ok, most likely there is
a fault with the DMX controller, ensure the
controller is working fine
– please refer to
the controller manual troubleshooting guide
for more information.
