• Check the fuse (page 304).
• Verify fixture is plugged in to an appropriately-rated power source (power
ratings are shown on page 360).
• Check power cord wiring
• If you have loosened or tightened anything in the pan and tilt assemblies,
the stepper motors may be out of alignment. Recalibrate pan and tilt motors
by selecting Calibrate Motors button in the Test_Home menu screen.
• Is the mechanical iris closed? If so, check the setting for the Dimmer
parameter, (see Dimmer on page 241.)
• Did you recently change inputs? About 10 seconds are required for an input
change to take effect. However, you might have selected an invalid input
using projector controls.
Try setting the projector back its defaults, (see Reset Screen on page 40.
Or use DMX to exit the projector menu system (see Projector Control on
page 243).
• Make sure a video input is physically attached to the input you selected, and
that the video feed is active.
• This occurs when the iris plate is in the wrong position for the installed lens
and lens shift is not engaged. Standard, Accessory Wide Angle and
Accessory Ultra Long Throw lenses use one position. The Accessory Long
Throw lens use another (see Adjusting the Iris Plate for the Accessory
Long Zoom lens on page 305).
