troubleshooting
Fixture remains at blackout when illumination expected
• The
indicator should be lit - if not, check the
input power and fuse (see below).
• If live DMX is connected, the
indicator should
be lit - if not, check the DMX cable and the desk out-
put.
• Check that the selected
MODE
matches the desk per-
sonality being used.
• The master intensity channel for the current mode may
be set at zero. For
EX61
and
DMX
modes, check the
setting of
PERS
>
MINT
. For
EX61
mode,
MINT
must be set
ON
.
• Ensure that only one DMX device in the chain is set as
master.
• Standalone chase effects: Effects programmed using
PROG
>
C1
and
C2
but the fixture is not in

EF M
mode. Check also that
PROG

LEVL
is not
set at zero.
• Standalone RGB mixing: Colour values set within
MAN
section but the fixture is not in
MODE

MANU
mode.
Unexpected cell illumination occurring
• When using
DMX
mode: Check the setting of

RES
. See the section “DMX channel and cell layouts”
on page 2 for an explanation of the various resolution
modes.
fuse access
The single fuse is located next to the power and DMX
input connectors. Use a small flat blade screw driver to
twist the fuse holder anticlockwise until the carrier can be
extracted to reveal the fuse.

Using master mode to drive other units
This unit can control any number of other Pixel Range fix-
tures via DMX links, without the need for a control desk.
1 Set this unit as
master
(
PERS
>
DATA
>
MAST
) and
ensure all others are set to
slave
(
PERS
>
DATA
>
SLAV
). Connect all fixtures via DMX daisy-chain.
2 Set each slave to
Mode
>
DMX
.
3 Set each slave DMX address (using
ADDR
>
DMX
) ac-
cording to the following:
18 cells are output in groups of 3 DMX channels to give
RGB values per cell (54 channels in total). Set the ad-
dress of each slave fixture according to which of the 18
cells you want them to appear within, or to begin with
(for multi-cell fixtures): (
A001
for cell 1,
A004
for cell 2,
...
A052
for cell 18). Set RGBA slave fixtures to 3 chan-
nel mode (using
PERS
>
RES
>
3ch
).
4 Set the master to
Mode
>
EF m
(
the master unit’s DMX
address is ignored).
On the master, choose the required
effects to display and send to the slave fixtures using
PROG
>
C1
and
C2
.
