    Crown CTS 8200 all fault

    So, the airflow is front-to-back on these models, but regardless of that both sides are heavily air conditioned independently and both are working. However, your fans and filters bring up an excellent point, and I will look at that when I get back into the space.

    Crown CTS 8200 all fault

    We have not pulled all the analogue inputs/outputs off of the amplifier yet, but that would be an excellent point. If those are gone and the amplifier still misbehaves, it is something inside the amp for sure.EDIT: The overheating is not an issue, the other CTS amps work just fine (they are 2...

    Crown CTS 8200 all fault

    Our theatre's 8200 will work for about 15 min, and then click like a relay has activated and all the ready lights go off. Then, it clicks every three seconds for about 2 minutes and every time it clicks the ready lights flash. Then all the fault lights turn on.This is happening on every...

    DMX pass thru

    @DavidNorth , you got it correct. We didn't have a jumper cable at the theatre, but we tried swapping the wires to the other side of the path thru on electric #4. Worked like a charm, the wires must have been swapped backwards at install and we didn't have any DMX fixtures at install to check it...

    DMX pass thru

    Ok, so the output on the other end of the connector strips doesn't work in EITHER position of the switch, but when you depress the switch all the way in from green (Pass-Thru ON), the DMX output on the end works as long as the button is held. From looking at the diagrams, the only thing that...

    DMX pass thru

    Anyways, a call to ETC support should probably clear up this issue, or at least tell us that we can't use DMX in our electrics. Either way, its better than our current worst scenario option, which is to gaff tape the button down. :pGaff tape solves almost every problem in our theatre. It's...

    DMX pass thru

    According to the drawings (interpreted by someone at ETC) the electrics SHOULDN'T be hooked together. The Pass Thru is only for that electric specifically. So I would find it characteristically odd that 5 independent cable runs back to our dimmer room (verified that they are independent lines)...

    DMX pass thru

    All. It's the weirdest thing, like maybe we got a bad batch? NOBODY at the theatre has ever touched these before.

    DMX pass thru

    We don't have that much DMX on hand at the moment, but we are trying to borrow some from our school's tech department.

    DMX pass thru

    We figured that, just wanted to make sure we somehow were using the Pass-Thru incorrectly.

    DMX pass thru

    To give a little more information (I work in the same theatre) the Pass-Thru functionality is supposed to work as a temporary output, and if it isn't needed, you "Pass-Thru" it and it goes straight to the other output on the electric. The other output on the electric works only when you hold it...

    ETC Ion Annoyances

    ^ This man deserves a medal. Even after looking through the manual I could not find this. Well done.

    ETC Ion Annoyances

    For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to do this.In Cue Only mode on the ETC Ion, I want to edit a cue that has some channel data recorded. I want to remove this channel data so that it doesn't screw up the stuff I have running in a separate cue list. So, I want to remove the data so...

    Gaff Gun

    We bought the gaff gun from gaffgun.com along with the three piece adapter set and the cable guides and floor guide. When we went to put the 3 inch gaff tape on the standard adapter, however, we thought beforehand and were wondering how you switch to a different size gaff tape before the roll...

    ETC Ion as Ethernet DMX

    I know this sounds a little strange and unnecessary, but here goes....Our theatre has an external group coming in that uses their own computer to run lights. All of their cues are stored on there, and they are set up to transmit using DMX over Ethernet.The only problem with that whole idea...
