TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIRS
Gobos Not Rotating and Vortex 360 Motor Not
Running
Possibility #1 – Gears are jammed
Make sure nothing is preventing gears from rotating properly.
If they will not rotate freely, don’t try to force them. If they are
jammed, remove the obstruction and test. Note that jammed
gears may lead to a dead power adapter and/or motor.
Possibility #2 – Toggle switch is set to off (center position)
Change the position of the toggle switch.
Possibility #3 – Power adapter is dead
Meter pins 1 and 3 from the power adapter. The voltage read
should match the rating on the power adapter itself.
Po l a rity is not important.If output voltage is not within 15%,
the tra n s fo rmer is not wo rking properly.
Possibility #4 – Wires to motor have come off
Open cover and ve rify that wires have not become disconn e c t e d
from motor. If this has occurred, simply solder back in place.
Possibility #5 – Motor is dead
If possibl e, attach a different power adapter to the unit to ve rify
that it is not the power adapter. If eve rything else has been
c h e cked, then the motor should be replaced (see instru c t i o n s
later).
