5 ETC Sensor Classic Racks 48/96
Installed 1995
Cleaned and serviced summer 2021
Anyone encounter this kind of crash/errors?
How does one dimmer rack’s assigned circuits “transfer” to a completely different rack?
Any other input from the group?

- 8/2021 – Rack #4 lost its programming (did not know what dimmer numbers it was supposed to be 289-385)
- At that time we lost control of those circuits which included all theatre work light circuits 307-320
- We worked around these missing circuits all year
- We “found” some of the work lights along the way – they had reassigned themselves to other circuits in other racks
- 4/2022 – All dimmers crashed, no data in or out
- 5/22 – ETC-certified technician discovered:
- 2 port hard-wired gateway/node was not sending or receiving data to/from the dimmer racks
- Rack #4 still out of commission
- Was able to reset/reprogram the gateway/node and get circuits to work again
- By patching the first universe one-to-one in the lighting console, we were able to “find” some of the work light circuits at 20-26.
- Rack #4 was mimicking Rack #1, but when isolated from the rest of the racks, still is not communicating with its proper circuits, mostly. Circuits 369-373, 375-377, 379-380 are working properly.
