Troubleshooting 

This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems.  
If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit 
operates properly, do not carry out following steps. 

1.

 If the device does not operate properly, unplug the device. 

2.

 Check the fuse, power from the wall, all cables etc. 

3.

 If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.

 

4.

 If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the device, as this may  

    damage the unit and the warranty will become void. 

5. 

Return the device to your Showtec dealer.

 

 

No Power 

This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems. If a problem occurs, carry out the steps 
below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates properly, do not carry out following 
steps. 
If the Sliding Profile Dimmer does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician. 
Response: Suspect two potential problem areas: the power supply, the fuse.  

1.

 Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply. 

2. 

The fuse. Replace the fuse. See page 8 for replacing the fuse. 

 

No Response to DMX  

Response: Suspect the DMX cable or connectors, a controller malfunction. 

1. 

Check the DMX setting. Make sure that DMX addresses are correct. 

2.

 Check the DMX cable: Unplug the unit; change the DMX cable; then reconnect to electrical power.  

    Try your DMX control again. 

3.

 Determine whether the controller or light effect is at fault. Does the controller operate properly with  

    other DMX products ? If not, take the controller in for repair. If so, take the DMX cable and the light  
    effect to a qualified technician.
