  beckyarmstrongJul 27, 2025
  If your Chauvet Lighting Equipment product does not power up, there are several things you can check: * First, verify that the power outlet is working. * Next, inspect the power cord for any damage or loose connections. * Also, a blown fuse could be the cause, so replace it with a new one of the same type and rating. If none of these steps resolve the issue, it might be an internal problem, and you should send the product for repair.

How to fix a Chauvet Lighting Equipment fixture that does not respond to DMX?
- W
  Whitney CharlesAug 10, 2025
  If your Chauvet Lighting Equipment fixture isn't responding to DMX, consider these potential causes: 1. The starting address on the fixture might be incorrect. Set the correct starting address. 2. The DMX personality on the fixture could be wrong. Ensure you set the correct DMX fixture’s personality. 3. The polarity setting on the DMX controller might be off. Try changing the signal polarity on the controller. 4. A loose or damaged DMX cable could be the issue. Check the DMX cable before the unit. If none of these solutions work, the issue might be internal, requiring you to send the product in for repair.

What causes intermittent DMX problems in Chauvet Lighting Equipment?
- A
  Alexandria BoydAug 18, 2025
  Intermittent DMX problems with Chauvet Lighting Equipment can arise from several factors: * The use of non-DMX compatible signal cables. Replace them with true DMX cables. * Interference from AC or radio signals. Keep DMX cables away from AC wires or radio equipment. * An excessively long DMX cable. Install an optically coupled DMX amplifier right before the fixture experiencing problems. * Connecting too many fixtures. Install an optically coupled DMX amplifier after unit #32. * A missing terminator. Install a terminator, as indicated in the “DMX Primer” section.
