Troubleshooting 

This troubleshooting guide contains solutions to problems which can be carried out by an ordinary 
person. The device does not contain user-serviceable parts. 

Unauthorized modifications to the device will render the warranty void. Such modifications may result in 
injuries and material damage. 

Refer servicing to instructed or skilled persons. Contact your Highlite International dealer in case the 
solution is not described in the table. 

Problem 

Probable cause(s)

Bad data link connection 

 

Examine connections and cables. 
Correct poor connections. Repair or 
replace damaged cables

a 120 Ω termination plug 

 

Insert a termination plug in the DMX 
OUT connector of the last device on 
the link 

Incorrect addressing  

 

Check address settings and correct, if 
necessary 

In case of a setup with multiple 
devices, one of the devices is 
defective and disturbs data 
transmission on the link 

 

To find out the defective device, 
bypass one device at a time until 
normal operation is restored 

No light or LEDs cut 
out intermittently 

LEDs are damaged 

 

Disconnect the device and contact 
your Highlight International dealer

match local AC voltage and 
frequency 

 

Disconnect the device. Check the 
settings and correct, if necessary
