Problem 

Probable cause(s) 

Remedy 

 

 

 

One or more 
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 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.

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. 

 

 

 

Shutter closes 
suddenly 

The color wheel, gobowheel or a 
gobo has lost its index position and 
the fixture is resetting the effect. 

 

Contact a technician for servicing the 
problem persists. 

 

 

 

No light or lamp 
cuts out 
intermittently 

Fixture is too hot. 

 

Allow fixture to cool. 

 

Clean fan. 

 

Make sure air vents at control panel 
and front lens are not blocked. 

 

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.
