Troubleshooting 

 

No Light 

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 light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician. 
Response: Suspect three potential problem areas as: the power supply, the LED, the fuse. 
01)

 

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

02)

 

The LEDs. Return the Compact Par 7 MKII to your Showtec dealer. 

03)

 

The fuse. Replace the fuse. See page 18 for replacing the fuse 

04)

 

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

05)

 

If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the Compact Par 7 MKII, as 
this may damage the unit and the warranty will become void.

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.
