polarity.!
3. Try!another!DMX!controller.! ! !
C.!Some!fixtures!don’t!respond!to!the!easy!controller! !
1. You!may!have!a!break!in!the!DMX!cabling.!Check!the!LED!for!the!response!of!the!master/!
slave!mode!signal.!
2. Wrong!DMX!address!in!the!unit.!Set!the!correct!address.!
D.!No!response!to!the!sound!
1. Make!sure!the!fixture!is!not!set!in!slave!mode.!
