General Troubleshooting Suggestions
The following table shows general troubleshooting suggestions:
Problem Solution
Won’t power on • Check the fuse (page 216).
• Verify fixture is plugged in to an appropriately-rated power source (power
ratings are shown on
page 292).
• Check power cord wiring (page page 292).
During certain movements
the fixture motion slows,
missteps or loses position
• If you have loosened or tightened anything in the pan and tilt assemblies,
the stepper motors may be out of alignment. Recalibrate pan and tilt motors
by selecting Calibrate Motors button in the Test_Home menu screen.
Powers on but no image • Is the mechanical iris closed? If so, check the setting for the Dimmer
parameter, (see
Dimmer on page 179.)
• Did you recently change inputs? About 10 seconds are required for an input
change to take effect. However, you might have selected an invalid input
using projector controls.
Try setting the projector back its defaults, (see Reset Screen on page 35.
Or use DMX to exit the projector menu system (see Projector Control on
page 181).
• Make sure a video input is physically attached to the input you selected, and
that the video feed is active.
