VBar Pak Trouble Shooting
Listed below are a few common problems the user may encounter,
with solutions.
Unit not responding to DMX:
1. Check that the DMX cables are connected properly and are
wired correctly (pin 3 is “hot”; on some other DMX devices
pin 2 may be ‘hot’). Also, check that all cables are connected
to the right connectors; it does matter which way the inputs
and outputs are connected.
Unit does not respond to sound:
1. Quiet or high pitched sounds will not activate the unit.
2. Make sure that Sound Active mode is activated.
VBar Pak Cleaning
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and exter-
nal optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light
output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the
outside casing.
2. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth
every 20 days.
3. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging
the unit back in.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture
operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew).
Disconnect the unit from its power source. Remove the power cord from
the unit. Once the cord has been removed, use a flat head screwdriver
to unscrew the fuse holder located next to the power inlet. Remove the
fuse holder then remove the dead fuse. Insert a new fuse into the fuse
holder and screw the fuse holder back into the fixture.
VBar Pak Fuse Replacement
With this feature you can connect the fixtures to one another
using the IEC input and output sockets. The quantity that can be
connected is 30 fixtures maximum. After 30 fixtures you will need
to use a new power outlet. They must be the same fixtures. DO
NOT mix fixtures.
