Well, after about an hour on the phone, we determined that the control module at the bottom of the dimmer rack is having issues. At the moment I can't recall the name of that module. I'm getting a loaner unit tomorrow or Thursday and will be shipping the bad module in for repair. Crossing my...

I'm super glad I've got you interested and invested in my problem! :)As for the dimmer check...I get it now. Thanks for re-explaining that. During the dimmer check, the status lights on the dimmer rack modules that "normally" work light up, the others do not.I have a working fixture in 3...

Well here is where I stand as of now: 1. I've done a dimmer check. To be honest, I'm not especially sure what that was supposed to do. The outlets that are not working, continued to not work during the dimmer check. 2. I restored the console to default 1-1 settings, and still nothing...

One more question as I work through this... In system settings, what should (1) my number of dimmers be? and (2) what should my number of channels be? Its currently set to (1) 1024 and (2) 48. Thanks

So I am inferring it is not possible to independently control each outlet. I can work with that - just need to strategically place lights...not a big deal for TV lighting. May even make it easier.

They are 2P&G receptacles...reading the referenced thread now :)

Since there seem to be some pretty knowledgeable people here, what do you think about the way the light outlets are wired?What I mean is with there being two number 20s on the grid. Is that normal? At one point I had two floods (for the green screen) on number 20, a total of 4,000 watts, and...

Thanks! That sounds like something I can do :). I'll work on it tomorrow at school and report back. Just out of curiosity, what are the dangers of swapping dimmer modules?

Yes, all of the non working module breakers are on. Like I said, when I swapped two modules, the problem did not follow with the moved module (lights still did not work with a supposedly "good" module). One other thing I noticed is that the status lights dim with the master control on the...

I'm sure I'm going to sound like I don't know what I'm doing here, but I swear I am trying to figure this out and learn to do more with this lighting board. I also posted ETC's user forums, but they don't seem very busy. :) I'm trying to figure out the ins and outs of an Express 24/48...
