Haze output control is too low

Fluid filter above fluid line

intermittently when Fog 

Button is not pressed

DMX causes machine to 

respond eratically

DMX level is not high enough.  
0-10% = no activity.

Fan is running at maximum 

speed even though my 

DMX is at zero.

DMX level of channel 2 is not high 
enough.  0-10% = maximum fan speed.

Incorrect channel patch at console

Output level on the Remote Control 
Panel is higher than the output level 
received via DMX

DMX interference due to non-
