4. TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. Unit does not respond to DMX:
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’).
It does matter which way the inputs and outputs are connected.
2. Low output, mechanical noise or no output at all:
Unplug immediately and check fluid level, the external fuse, remote
connection, and power from the wall. If all of the above appears to be
O.K., plug the unit in again. If machine does not function after 30
seconds, discontinue operation or permanent damage to the unit may
result. Return the machine to your dealer. Always drain tank before
mailing or transporting this unit.
Disconnect from mains before servicing.
