fixtures are 
completely dead. 

No power to the fixture 

· Check that power is switched on  
  and cables are plugged in. 

Primary fuse blown. 

· Replace fuse. 

 

 

Fixtures reset 
correctly, but all 
respond 
erratically or not 
at all to the 
controller. 

The controller is not connected. 

· Connect controller. 

3-pin XLR Out of the controller 
does not match XLR Out of the first 
fixture on the link (i.e. signal is

erratically or not 
at all to the 
controller. 

 
 
 
Poor data quality 

· Check data quality. If much lower  
  than 100 percent, the problem may  
  be a bad data link connection, poor  
  quality or broken cables, missing  
  termination plug, or a defective   
  fixture disturbing the link.

  of the last fixture on the link. 

Incorrect addressing of the fixtures.  · Check address setting. 
 
 
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.

suddenly 

The shutter has lost its index 
position and the fixture is resetting 
the effect. 

· Contact a technician for servicing if  
  the problem persists.

match local AC voltage and 
frequency.

  and correct if necessary.

  dealer.
