Do not use Microphone Cables
and other general purpose, two-core cables
designed for audio or signaling use. They are not suitable for DMX512.
Problems due to incorrect cabling may not be immediately apparent.
Microphone Cables may appear to work fine, but systems built with such
cables may fail or be prone to random errors. Cable must comply with EIA-485
(RS485).
Troubleshooting
If the Fixture does not strike after two or three attempts, turn off the Fixture.
• With the power switch in the ON position, the red light should be on.
If it is not, Voltage is not present. Check your power feed.
• The onboard dimmer should be full up, turned completely clockwise.
• All four lamp switches should be in the ON position.
• Check lamp contact. Harness color-codes must match at each end of
the lamp. Once everything has been checked, re-strike.
With DMX cable connected, if yellow light is off, there is no DMX signal.
• Establish a valid DMX signal. Address must be between 001 and 512.
(Note: 0 or 513 and higher are invalid addresses.)
• The dimmer setting on the lighting board must be up in the full mode.
There is a 2-3 second response delay when fading up from black.
• Lower the light level to approximately 7-10% on the DMX console,
then fade up from that point.
