5. APPENDIX General Troubleshooting SYMPTOM Breaker/Fuse keeps blowing Device does not power up POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) • Excessive circuit load • Check total load placed on the electrical circuit. • Short circuit along the power wires • Check for a short in the electrical wiring (internal and/or external). • No power • Loose power cord • Check for power on Mains.
DMX Primer There are 512 channels in a DMX connection. A fixture capable of receiving DMX will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance. Channels should never overlap.
Cable Connectors Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end. DMX connector configuration COMMON INPUT 1 3 1 3 2 DMX + 2 DMX - OUTPUT Terminator To avoid signal transmission problems and interference, it is always advisable to connect a DMX signal terminator. 1 3 2 120 ohm ¼ W resistor between pin 2 (DMX -) and pin 3 (DMX +) on the output of the last fixture Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis ground.
3-Pin to 5-Pin Conversion Chart If you use a controller with a 5-pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter. The chart below details a proper cable conversion: 3-PIN TO 5-PIN CONVERSION CHART Conductor 3-Pin Female (Output) 5-Pin Male (Input) Ground/Shield Pin 1 Pin 1 Data ( - ) signal Pin 2 Pin 2 Data ( + ) signal Pin 3 Pin 3 Not used Pin 4 Not used Pin 5 Setting up a DMX Daisy Chain 1.
General Maintenance To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off fixture before conducting maintenance. • Unplug fixture from power.
