How to troubleshoot no light and no movement in SHOWTEC Explorer 575 Spot?
If your SHOWTEC Lighting Equipment has no light and no movement, verify that the unit is correctly plugged into a suitable power supply. Also, replace the old lamp with a new one that has the same specifications and replace the fuse.
What to do if SHOWTEC Explorer 575 Spot Lighting Equipment has no response to DMX?
If your SHOWTEC Lighting Equipment doesn't respond to DMX, check the DMX cable by unplugging the unit, changing the DMX cable, and then reconnecting to electrical power. If the issue persists, determine if the controller operates properly with other DMX products; if not, the controller may need repair.
What to do if one or more SHOWTEC Lighting Equipment fixtures are completely dead?
If one or more fixtures of your SHOWTEC Lighting Equipment are completely dead, ensure that the power is switched on and the cables are securely plugged in. If the issue continues, replace the primary fuse.
Why do some SHOWTEC Explorer 575 Spot Lighting Equipment fixtures respond erratically to the controller?
If some of your SHOWTEC Lighting Equipment fixtures respond erratically or not at all to the controller after resetting, check the data quality and inspect connections and cables, correcting poor connections and repairing or replacing damaged cables. Ensure the data link is terminated with a 120 Ohm termination plug in the output jack of the last fixture on the link. Verify the address settings and bypass one fixture at a time until normal operation is regained by unplugging both connectors and connecting them directly together. If the 3-pin XLR Out on the fixtures does not match, install a phase-reversing cable between the fixtures or swap pin 2 and 3 in the fixture that behaves erratically.
Why do all SHOWTEC Explorer 575 Spot fixtures respond erratically to the controller?
If all SHOWTEC Lighting Equipment fixtures respond erratically or not at all to the controller after resetting, connect the controller. If the 3-pin XLR Out of the controller does not match the XLR Out of the first fixture on the link, install a phase reversing cable between the controller and the first fixture on the link.
Why does the lamp in my SHOWTEC Explorer 575 Spot Lighting Equipment cut out intermittently?
If the lamp in your SHOWTEC Lighting Equipment cuts out intermittently, first allow the fixture to cool down and clean the fan. Ensure that the air vents at the control panel and front lens are not blocked and increase air conditioning. Also, verify that the power supply settings match the local AC voltage and frequency.
Why is there no light coming from my SHOWTEC Lighting Equipment?
