IN CASE OF TROUBLE

The Procon II is a solid-state analog control console. Of the components used in lighting
systems, this console is probably the least likely to fail. The following paragraphs may help in
the event the lighting system fails to work properly.
First lets get the obvious things out of the way; check that the console is connected to the
dimmers and that the dimmers are on. Also be sure the loads are connected and not burned out.
Next, and most obvious, is to make sure that the "on" LED indicator is lit and the console is
NOT in Blackout.
Now that the obvious things are out of the way we can try to isolate the problem further. If the
"on" indicator LED is not lit, unplug the control cable from the console and measure to see if
the +15 volt supply voltage is present. If you have 5-pin XLR cables you will measure between
the connector case and pin 5, or if you have a SRC cable then measure between pin 15 (gnd) and
pin 12 (+15V). In either case if you do not have 15 volts DC present the control console is most
likely o.k. and we recommend you proceed to the owners manual for the dimmer. If 15 volts is
present, go to the next paragraph.
Plug the control cable back into the console, making sure the connector fits snugly, but do not
force the connector. The connectors are keyed to ensure a proper connection. If you are using
XLR type control cables make sure you are plugged into the first connector (1-4) of the console
since this is where the console gets its power. If you still have no LED indicator the console
most likely has failed and should be returned to the factory for repair.
If you have a green "on" LED indicator, but no control of the dimmers go through the following
routine. Place the Grand Master slide pot at full, all submasters at full, all channels at full, and
the crossfaders both at the full position. If you still have no response, return console to the
factory.
If, after performing these tests, you still cannot get proper operation, you may send your unit to
the factory service center, freight prepaid, with a note describing the specific complaint and the
results of the checks noted above. Send to:
