Troubleshooting

• Display panel is blank: Press a control panel button, if the
display still does not show, check the input power and
fuse.
• No response during DMX control: Check whether a mas-
ter intensity input is required. MAX2 and EF d modes
always require a master intensity input (channels 10
and 7 respectively). DMX and 16bT have an optional
master intensity, depending on the setting of PERS >
MINT (channels 4 and 7 respectively). If the MINT set-
ting is On then no output will occur until a level greater
than zero is applied to the master intensity channel. See
pages 2 and 3 for details.
Note: It is good practice to perform a factory reset
before these fixtures are used on any new installation.
This will ensure that settings like the MINT option are set
to off and do not create the potential for confusion. See
page 1 for details of how to perform a factory reset.
• No response during DMX control: If live DMX is con-
nected, the right hand decimal point on the display
should flash - if not, check the DMX cable(s) and the
desk output.
• Erratic operation during DMX control: Check that the
final fixture within the DMX daisy chain is correctly termi-
nated with a 120 ohm terminator plug.
• Erratic operation during DMX control: Check that the
selected MODE matches the personality being used on
the control desk.
• Erratic operation during DMX control: Ensure that only
one DMX device in the daisy chain is set as master.
• Rapid colour/intensity changes not occuring: Check
whether the tungsten dimmer mode is selected (PERS >
dIMR > TUNG). This would slow the reaction times of the
emitters and could mean that rapid changes are blended
into each other. Choose a faster reacting dimmer mode.
• Standalone chase effects not working: Check that a
chase has been programmed using PROG > C1 and/or
PROG > C2 and also that MODE > EF M is selected.
Check also that PROG > LEVL is not set at zero.
• Standalone RGB mixing not working: Check that one or
more colour values have been set within MAN section
and also that the MODE > MANU is selected.
