Why does the breaker/fuse keep blowing on my Chauvet Lighting Equipment?
If the breaker or fuse keeps blowing in your Chauvet Lighting Equipment setup, it could be due to an excessive circuit load. Check the total load on the electrical circuit. Alternatively, there might be a short circuit in the power wires, so inspect the electrical wiring, both internal and external, for any shorts.
How to fix Chauvet Lighting Equipment not responding to DMX?
If your Chauvet Lighting Equipment fixture isn't responding to DMX, there are several potential causes. First, check the control panel and unit addressing to ensure the DMX addressing is correct. Also, inspect the DMX cables for damage and ensure they are properly connected. Verify the polarity switch settings on the controller. If the issue persists, the DMX input or the Main PCB might be faulty and need replacement.
What to do if I have a loss of signal in my Chauvet Lighting Equipment?
If you're experiencing signal loss with your Chauvet Lighting Equipment, make sure you are using only DMX compatible cables. If bouncing signals are the issue, install a terminator. For long cable runs or low signal levels, install an amplifier after a fixture with a strong signal. If you have too many fixtures, install an optically coupled DMX splitter after unit #32. Also, keep DMX cables separated from power cables or black lights to avoid interference from AC wires.
