Troubleshooting

NOTICE!
Data transfer errors due to improper wiring!
If the DMX connections are wired incorrectly, this can cause errors during the data transfer.
Do not connect the DMX input and output to audio devices, e.g. mixers or amplifiers.
Use special DMX cables for the wiring instead of normal microphone cables.

In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation. We give you some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:

Symptom Remedy

The device is not working, no
light, the fan is not running| Check the mains connection and the fuse.

Cleaning

Optical lenses
Clean the optical lenses, that are accessible from the outside, regularly in order to optimize the light output. The frequency of cleaning depends on the operating environment: wet, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause more accumulation of dirt on the optics of the device.
