If you're experiencing a loss of signal with your Chauvet Fog Machine, use only DMX cables and install a terminator. Also, keep DMX cables separated from power cables or black lights.
Why is there no output from my Chauvet Lighting Equipment?
If your Chauvet Lighting Equipment has no or short output, several factors could be at play. First, give the product up to 10 minutes to warm up completely. An air bubble in the fluid line might be the issue; let the product warm up fully to resolve this. Alternatively, try turning the fog machine 45° to flatten the bubble, ensuring proper fluid flow. You can also turn the product off for 5 seconds, then back on, repeating as needed, but if you attempt this more than 10 times, further assistance is needed. Ensure you're using the correct fluid; if not, clean the unit thoroughly with CHAUVET® FCQ and refill with CHAUVET® water-based haze fluid. Blocked pipes or a failing part could also be the cause, requiring expert attention.
What to do if my Chauvet Lighting Equipment does not power up?
If your Chauvet Lighting Equipment isn't powering on, start by checking the power outlet and trying another one. Inspect the power cord for any looseness or damage. If these steps don't work, the issue might be internal, requiring professional repair.
Why does the circuit breaker keep blowing with my Chauvet Lighting Equipment?
If the circuit breaker or fuse keeps blowing in your Chauvet Lighting Equipment, it could be due to an excessive load on the circuit. Ensure the total load doesn't exceed the breaker or fuse's recommended capacity. Another potential cause is a short circuit along the power lines, so inspect the power lines and power cords for any issues.
How to fix a Chauvet Lighting Equipment that does not respond to DMX?
If your Chauvet Lighting Equipment isn't responding to DMX, first ensure the starting address on the product is correctly set. Then, check the DMX controller's polarity setting and change it if necessary. Also, inspect the DMX cable entering the unit for any looseness or damage. If none of these steps resolve the issue, the problem may be internal and require repair.
Why is my Chauvet Lighting Equipment spitting fluid?
If your Chauvet Lighting Equipment is spitting fluid, the issue might be due to incorrect fluid. Clean the unit thoroughly with CHAUVET® FCQ and refill it with CHAUVET® water-based haze fluid. Blocked pipes or a failing part could also be the cause, requiring expert attention.
How to troubleshoot intermittent DMX issues with Chauvet Lighting Equipment?
For intermittent DMX problems with your Chauvet Lighting Equipment, start by replacing any non-DMX cables with true DMX cables. Keep DMX cables away from AC wires or radio equipment to avoid interference. If the DMX cable is too long, use a shorter one or install an optically coupled DMX amplifier right before the product experiencing issues. Finally, ensure a terminator is connected.
What causes false sensor readings on Chauvet Lighting Equipment?
If your Chauvet Lighting Equipment shows a false sensor reading (priming), it may be due to air bubbles in the fluid line or an empty fluid tank. Refill the tank, allow the unit to reach normal operating temperature until the blue indicator lights up, set the output to the highest level, and power cycle the unit 1-2 times until the fluid reaches the sensor and the blue tank indicator light stops flashing. Alternatively, while the unit is operating, pinch the fluid line between your thumb and forefinger for 3 to 5 seconds to create a vacuum, then release. Another method involves removing (but not disconnecting) the fluid tank while the unit is operating and tilting the machine at a 45° angle. If the tank is empty, refill it with the correct CHAUVET® water-based haze fluid.
Why does the circuit breaker keep blowing on my Chauvet Flood Light?
The circuit breaker might be blowing on your Chauvet Flood Light due to an excessive load on the circuit. Ensure that the total load does not exceed the recommended capacity of the breaker or fuse’s nominal current. It could also be due to a short circuit along the power lines, so check the power lines and power cords.
