Chapter 2: Maintenance & Testing
TESTING THE INSTALLATION
Once all connections are made and inspected for possible errors, you can
power up the DMXPathfinder MR modules in the equipment rack. With no
DMX source signals or talkback signals present, all eight red Isolated Power
LEDs on the face of the Input Module should be illuminated. On each Output
Module, all eight red Isolated Power LEDs on each installed output card and the
Main 5V Power LED on the crosspoint card (XPU) should be illuminated. If any
green or amber LEDs are on, there may be a wiring problem with the external
DMX cabling. Try disconnecting the corresponding input or output temporarily
to see whether this is the case.
CARD REPLACEMENT
Should a defective component be found in an Output Module or other
module during troubleshooting, it is best to replace the suspected defective
circuit card with a spare unit and re-test. Powering down the entire
DMXPathfinder, or at least the specific module, is recommended before
removing or inserting cards.
