  Tammy PetersonAug 8, 2025
  If your Chauvet Lighting Equipment isn't powering on, there are several potential causes. First, check the power outlet to ensure it's working, and try a different outlet. A loose or damaged power cord could also be the culprit, so inspect it carefully. Another common issue is a blown fuse; replace it with a new one of the same type and rating. If none of these steps work, there may be an internal problem, and the product may need professional repair.

Why does the circuit breaker keep blowing on my Chauvet Freedom Strip Mini Lighting Equipment?

  Lindsay RodriguezAug 15, 2025
  A circuit breaker might blow due to an excessive load on the circuit. Ensure the total load doesn't exceed 80% of the breaker's nominal current. Alternatively, a short circuit along the power lines could be the cause. In this case, you should carefully check the power lines and power cords for any damage.

  Robert BlackAug 25, 2025
  If your Chauvet Lighting Equipment isn't responding to DMX, several factors could be at play. First, verify that the starting address on the product is correct and that you're using the right fader(s) on the controller. Also, ensure the DMX personality setting on the product is correct, and assign the faders accordingly. A wrong polarity setting on the DMX controller can also cause this issue; try changing the signal polarity. Check the DMX cable for any looseness or damage before the unit. If these steps don't resolve the problem, the unit may have an internal problem and require repair.

How to fix intermittent DMX problems with Chauvet Freedom Strip Mini?

  Michael DuranAug 30, 2025
  Intermittent DMX issues with Chauvet Lighting Equipment can stem from several sources. Start by ensuring that you are using true DMX cables, as standard signal cables are often incompatible. Interference from AC or radio signals can also cause problems, so keep DMX cables away from AC wires or radio equipment. If the DMX cable is too long, consider installing an optically coupled DMX amplifier right before the product experiencing issues. If you have a large number of products connected, install an optically coupled DMX amplifier after unit #32. Finally, ensure a terminator is properly connected.
