Troubleshooting

Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation and some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:

The unit does not work, no light and the fan does not work
1. Check the connection of the power and the main fuse.
Not responding to DMX controller
1. DMX LED should be on. If not, 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.
No response to the sound
1. Make sure the unit is not receiving a DMX signal.
2. Check the microphone to see if it is good by tapping it. The microphone is located on the bottom plate of the unit.

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.
