6. Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation
and some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. The unit does not work, no light.
Check the connection of the power and the main fuse.
B. Not responding to DMX controller
1. Check DMX cables to see if linked correctly.
2. If the DMX address is showing but no response to the controller, check the
address settings and DMX polarity.
3. Try another DMX controller.
C. No response to the sound
Make sure the unit is not receiving a DMX signal.
7. Fixture Cleaning
•The cleaning of external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in
which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding
can cause a greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
•Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid or mild soapy
water.
•Always dry the parts carefully.
•Clean the external optics at least every 20 days.
