How to troubleshoot SHOWTEC DJ Equipment when there is no light?
If your SHOWTEC DJ Equipment has no light, first ensure the unit is properly plugged into a suitable power supply. If the issue persists, the LEDs or the internal fuse may be faulty, requiring you to return the Helix to your Showtec dealer for further assistance.
What to do if SHOWTEC DJ equipment fixtures reset correctly, but some respond erratically?
If some of your SHOWTEC DJ equipment fixtures respond erratically after a reset, there might be a data quality issue. Check the data link connection, cables, and termination plug. Inspect connections and cables, repair or replace damaged cables, and insert a termination plug into the output jack of the last fixture on the link. Also, verify the address settings of the fixtures and bypass one fixture at a time to identify defective units that may be disturbing the link. In addition, install a phase-reversing cable between the fixtures or swap pin 2 and 3 in the fixture that behaves erratically, because 5-pin XLR Out on the fixtures does not match.
What to do if SHOWTEC DJ equipment has no response to DMX?
If your SHOWTEC DJ equipment isn't responding to DMX, verify the DMX settings and ensure the DMX addresses are correct. Check the DMX cable by unplugging the unit, changing the cable, and reconnecting to power. To determine if the controller or light effect is at fault, test the controller with other DMX products. If the controller doesn't work, have it repaired; otherwise, take the DMX cable and light effect to a qualified technician.
Why one or more SHOWTEC Helix S5000 Q4 DJ Equipment fixtures do not function at all?
If one or more of your SHOWTEC DJ Equipment fixtures aren't functioning, first check if the power is switched on and the cables are properly plugged in. If the issue persists, the internal fuse may have blown, requiring you to return the device to your Showtec dealer.
Why SHOWTEC Helix S5000 Q4 DJ Equipment fixtures reset correctly, but all respond erratically?
If your SHOWTEC DJ equipment fixtures reset correctly but all respond erratically, ensure the controller is properly connected. If the 5-pin XLR Out of the controller doesn't match the XLR Out of the first fixture, install a phase-reversing cable between the controller and the first fixture.
