      Matthew LaraAug 4, 2025
      If the breaker or fuse continues to blow in your Chauvet Lighting Equipment, it could be due to excessive circuit load. Check the total load placed on the electrical circuit. Another potential cause is a short circuit along the power wires. Inspect the electrical wiring, both internal and external, for any shorts.

    What causes loss of signal in Chauvet 4Play?
    • K
      Kyle BrownAug 18, 2025
      If you are experiencing signal loss with your Chauvet Lighting Equipment, consider the following: * Ensure you are using only DMX compatible cables. * Install a terminator to prevent bouncing signals. * If you have a long cable or low-level signal, install an amplifier after a fixture with a strong signal. * If you're using many fixtures, install an optically coupled DMX splitter after unit #32. * Keep DMX cables separated from power cables or black lights to avoid interference from AC wires.
