Probable cause(s)
No power to the fixture
Primary fuse blown.
The controller is not connected.
3-pin XLR Out of the controller
does not match XLR Out of the
first fixture on the link (i.e. signal
is reversed).
Poor data quality
Bad data link connection
Data link not terminated with 120
Ohm termination plug.
Incorrect addressing of the
fixtures.
One of the fixtures is defective
and disturbs data transmission on
the link.
3-pin XLR Out on the fixtures does
not match (pins 2 and 3 reversed).
Fixture is too hot/cold.
The power supply settings do
not match local AC voltage and
frequency.
Remedy
Check that power is switched on
and cables are plugged in.
Replace fuse.
Connect controller.
Install a phase reversing cable
between the controller and the
first fixture on the link.
Check data quality. If much lower
than 100 percent, the problem
may be a bad data link connec-
tion, poor quality or broken
cables, missing termination plug,
or a defective fixture disturbing
the link.
Inspect connections and cables.
Correct poor connections. Repair
or replace damaged cables.
Insert termination plug in output
jack of the last fixture on the link.
Check address setting.
Bypass one fixture at a time until
normal operation is regained: un-
plug both connectors and connect
them directly together.
Have the defective fixture serviced
by a qualified technician.
Install a phase-reversing cable
between the fixtures or swap pin 2
and 3 in the fixture, that behaves
erratically.
Allow fixture to cool/heat up.
Make sure air vents are not
blocked.
Turn up the air conditioning.
Disconnect fixture. Check settings
and correct if necessary.
