The manual does not provide specific troubleshooting steps for the blackout function not working. However, ensure the following:
1. The blackout button is not disabled or stuck. 2. The playback masters (A and B) are correctly set. 3. The console is not in HOLD mode, which can override fader outputs. 4. No liquid has been spilled on the console, and it's not exposed to moisture. 5. The equipment is properly connected and powered.
If these checks fail, the issue may require professional service.
Please look through all the documents and keep them safely for future use. If you have any difficulties, please do not hesitate to contact Strand Lighting or any authorized Strand service center for advice.

For timed crossfades – use the same procedure as the manual crossfade but with the fade timer set to the preferred fade time. The LED display will show the fade time that is set. Timed crossfades can vary from 0 (Manual) to 15 minutes. Page 12 Strand 100 Console Manual...
