I had the same issue with a SS250 blowing it's main fuse and it turned out to be the PFC. Even if they are not that old they can still fail early, it's the most likely cause. In fact the fuse would...

Could be a power supply issue, flickering could be caused by several things, but sounds like it could be a capacitor issue with the power supply.

Good point, I have seen issues with the main wiring harness on these fixtures. I would bet you have one or more broken or breaking wire causing the issue. I would get a meter and do a test of each of...

You weren't concerned until you got the hot error about temp, the hot error has nothing to do with the fixture temp at all. Check the lamp bench on your fixture, a misfocused lamp or even cracked hot...

I could be wrong here, I do not own the MAC 500 and havn't woked on one. However I have seen some fixtures give the HOT message when the lamp has been turned off and then tried to be re-striked to...

You can also add an opto to split the signal in a pinch and that will most likely solve your issue as a work around. Sounds like improper cable being used or lack of termination, or is your run to...

That looks like a very well thought out and stable setup, good in my book.

Chamsys is a great option, I used it on several shows with then Entec Pro dongle and it works great!!! Get the Entec Pro dongle, do not get the cheap open DMX one cause you are more likely to have...

I so agree with you!!!

Well there would in fact be no bypasing the alarm with the show I was working on. They only had heat detection. When we were using the haze, we had the alarm system fully online. Like I said we have...

I'm just suprised, in all these years I never had this problem. I could understand thick smoke but light haze makes no sense. It is what it is I guess.

Wouldn't state overide the town fire marshall?

I had an event last year where the towns fire marshall got pretty pissed because we were using what he called a smoke like effect (ultra tech hazer) which he said could create confusion. We decided...

I saw the show, I found the lighting very un-creative and it looked like the same scene over and over as well as to much flashy. I've seen Linkin Park in the past with a lot less gear and much better...

I used the troubador plus which looks like the same board but just bigger version (like the different express boards). The manual above is probably fine for the troubadour as the functions are most...

Well as an update I went with the Radiance and have used it on several shows, I could not be happier. In fact not to long after getting the Radiance I went on a Royal Caribbean cruise and they had...

The High End Studio Spot comes in a dual color wheel or CMY color mixing versions. I'm not sure what in your book would make it a low-end fixture??? It may be and older and not as widely used as...

12,000 Lum out of a 575 watt bulb is very good. It is supposed to have almost the same features as the Intellaspot which is pretty cool. However it is heavy and if High End is going to charge...

Dimmers are not supposed to smoke!!! I don't see the reason you are trying to mess with a piece of equipment that has a serious problem and can potentially cause a fire due to an obviously unsafe...

OK, well I am starting a new post as I have decided that the two hazers I am between is the Radiance and the Jem K1. I really would like to know if anyone has used the K1. I have used the Radiance...

Thanks for the reply, I can get the Martin Or the Unique for $1300. A used DF-50 is around $1700 plus they are messy with the residue. Also I have used the radiance and they seem to clog a lot.

I can either get a brand new Martin K1 hazer or a very slightly used Unique 2 hazer for about the same price. I have had a Martin Magnum hazer, but have had a lot of problems with it in the past....

Did you load the driver from the Chamsys site?? You have to use the Enttec driver on their site and not the windows default one or the Enttec one.

Can you see and select the personality before you actually put in the patch #'s?? Be sure your directory is not corrupt or deleted as well. You could also reload the main personality file and it will...

Are there any DIP switches or jumpers on the circuit board itself inside the unit besides the address ones?? I have seen this on some dimmer packs and systems to change settings such as non-dim...
