What to do if my Martin RUSH MH 6 Wash CT Lighting Equipment does not respond to DMX control?

P
Paula HowardJul 29, 2025
To troubleshoot a Martin Lighting Equipment fixture that isn't responding to DMX control: * First, make sure the fixture's DMX address matches the address set on your DMX control device. * Check that the fixture's DMX LED is on. If it's off, inspect all DMX cables and connections. * Ensure the DMX link is terminated correctly. * Verify that all components on the DMX link use standard DMX polarity. * Try controlling the fixture with another DMX control device. * If the link is near an unshielded high-voltage installation, move it or shield it to avoid potential interference. The issue may be due to a fault in the DMX network from connector or cable damage, incorrect DMX addressing, or interference from a high-voltage source.
