at all to the 
controller.

Poor data quality 

· Check data quality. If much lower  
  than 100 percent, the problem may

  quality or broken cables, missing  
  termination plug, or a defective    
  fixture disturbing the link.

One of the fixtures is defective and 
disturbs data transmission on the 
link. 

· Bypass one fixture at a time until  
  normal operation is regained: unplug  
  both connectors and connect them  
  directly together. 
· Have the defective fixture serviced   
  by a qualified technician. 

 
3-pin XLR Out on the fixtures does 
not match (pins 2 and 3 reversed). 

· Install a phase-reversing cable 
  between the fixtures or swap pin 2  
  and 3 in the fixture, that behaves 
  erratically.

lost its index position and the
