Troubleshooting
• Display panel is blank:Pressacontrolpanelbutton,ifthe
displaystilldoesnotshow,checktheinputpowerand
fuse.
• No response during DMX control:Checkwhethera
master intensity input is required. 4+E and EF d modes
alwaysrequireamasterintensityinput(channels10
and7respectively).DMX and 16bThaveanoptional
masterintensity,dependingonthesettingofPERS >
MINT(channels4and7respectively).IftheMINT set-
ting is Onthennooutputwilloccuruntilalevelgreater
than zero is applied to the master intensity channel. See
pages2and3fordetails.
Note: It is good practice to perform a factory reset
before these fixtures are used on any new installation.
This will ensure that settings like the MINT option are set
to off and do not create the potential for confusion. See
page 1 for details of how to perform a factory reset.
