NanoQ 12 Q4 

Problem 

Probable cause(s) 

Solution 

 

 

 

One or more 

fixtures do not 

function at all. 

No power to the fixture. 

 

Check that power is switched on and 

cables are plugged in. 

Internal fuse blown. 

 

Return the device to your Showtec 

dealer 

 

 

 

Fixtures reset 

correctly, but all 

respond erratically 

or not at all to the 

controller. 

The controller is not connected. 

 

Connect controller. 

3-pin/5-pin XLR Out of the controller 

does not match XLR Out of the first 

fixture on the link (i.e. signal is 

reversed). 

 

Install a phase reversing cable between 

the controller and the first fixture on the 

link. 

 

 

 

Fixtures reset 

correctly, but some 

respond 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. 

Bad data link connection 

 

Inspect connections and cables. 

Correct poor connections. Repair or 

replace damaged cables. 

Data link not terminated with 120 

Ohm termination plug. 

 

Insert termination plug in output jack 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/5-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. 

 

 

 

No light or lamp 

cuts out 

intermittently 

Fixture is too hot. 

 

Allow fixture to cool. 

 

Turn up the air conditioning . 

LEDs damaged 

 

Disconnect fixture and return to your 

dealer. 

The power supply settings do not 

match local AC voltage and 

frequency. 

 

Disconnect fixture. Check settings and 

correct if necessary.
