Troubleshooting

Symptom

Solution

Fixture Auto-Shut 

Off

Check the fan in the fixture.  If it is stopped or moving slower than normal, 

the unit may have shut itself off due to high heat.  This is to protect the 

fixture from overheating.  Clear the fan of obstructions, or return the unit 

for service.

No Light Output

Check to ensure fixture is operating under correct mode, IE sound active/

auto/DMX/Etc., if applicable.  

Chase Speed Too 

Fast/Slow

Check to ensure proper setup of speed adjustment.

No Power

Check fuse, AC cord and circuit for malfunction.

Blown Fuse

Check AC cord and circuit for damage, verify that moving parts are not 

restricted and that unit’s ventilation is not obstructed

No Response to 

Audio

Verify that the fixture is in “Sound Active” mode.

Adjust Audio Sensitivity, If Applicable.

Fixture Not 

Responding / Re-

sponding Erratically

Make sure all connectors are seated properly and securely.

Use Only DMX Cables and/or check cables for defects

Install a Terminator.

Fixture Moving On 

Its Own

Verify proper mode of operation. Is the fixture in “Auto” mode?
