Troubleshooting
Fixture remains at blackout when illumination expected
• The display panel (or at least one of its decimal points)
should be lit - if not, check the input power and fuse.
• If live DMX is connected, the right hand decimal point
on the display should flash - if not, check the DMX
cable and the desk output.
• Check that the selected
MODE
matches the desk per-
sonality being used.
• The master intensity channel for the current mode may
be set at zero. For
DMX
mode, check the setting of
PERS
>
MINT
.
• Ensure that only one DMX device is set as master.
• Standalone chase effects: Effects programmed using
PROG
>
C1
and
C2
but the fixture is not in
MODE
>
EF M
mode. Check also that
MODE
>
PROG
>
LEVL
is not set at zero.
• Standalone RGB mixing: Colour values set within
MAN
section but the fixture is not in
MODE
>
MANU
mode.
Fuse access
The single fuse is located on the underside panel of the
fixture.
To remove the fuse
Using a flatblade screwdriver, push down the fuse cap
and then twist it anti-clockwise until it disengages from the
holder.

Using master mode to drive other units
This unit can control any number of other Pixel Range
fixtures via DMX links, without the need for a control desk.
1 Set this unit as
master
(
PERS
>
DATA
>
MAST
) and
ensure all others are set to
slave
(
PERS
>
DATA
>
SLAV
). Connect all fixtures via DMX daisy-chain.
2 Set each slave to
Mode
>
DMX
.
3 Set each slave DMX address (using
ADDR
>
DMX
) ac-
cording to the following:
18 cells are output in groups of 3 DMX channels to
give RGB values per cell (54 channels in total). Set the
address of each slave fixture according to which of the
18 cells you want them to appear within, or to begin
with (for multi-cell fixtures): (
A001
for cell 1,
A004
for
cell 2, ...
A052
for cell 18). Set RGBA slave fixtures to
3 channel mode (using
PERS
>
RES
>
3ch
).
4 Set the master to
Mode
>
EF m
(
the master unit’s
DMX address is ignored).
On the master, choose
the required effects to display and send to the slave
fixtures using
PROG
>
C1
and
C2
.
