    Check your cables. It sounds like a wire is loose somewhere.

    Electronics Diversified House Light System

    That 15 pin D-sub connector is for analog backup. EDI consoles at the time had an analog output that could be used in an emergency situation to turn on specific lights. One would turn a keyswitch and the first ten faders on the board would work as analog submasters. From the manual:There...

    Strand 300/500 Console

    I used a trackball mouse on the 500 series to navigate the menu structure. Rolling the ball would highlight each different option and left clicking was (I believe) like hitting *.

    Vintage Lighting Backstage at the Fox Theatre Atlanta, 1929

    Sorry to bump this post, but I felt I should mention that the Hub board at the Fox is still installed, although the loads are disconnected. I was just there at the beginning of the month loading in the Nutcracker. I'll be back on the 28th and will try to get more pictures if I can.

    Martin MX-4 on ETC Express 48/96

    Go into setup, system settings, and set number of dimmers to 1024. By plugging the MX-4 into port 2, the console is looking for dimmers 513-1024 and not finding them.

    Automated Fixtures Colortran 48/96 and Martin MX-10 help

    You'll need to press Setup {device} and use the add definition option to add in new devices. You'll need to transfer the DDL onto a floppy disk and have the console read it from there.

    Fuse tripping at 160amps on 200amp load

    I'm not going to pretend I understand the intricacies of triplen harmonics, but from what I read the neutral wire should have been rated for 140% over the phasing. If you have 150amps sustained, wouldn't that make effectively 210amps (140%) on the neutral?I'm asking here, cause I genuinely...

    Vintage Lighting Any ideas what this is?

    A co-worker found this guy while cleaning out our storage space. I can't seem to find any information on it, other than the Coemar stamps on the metal. It puts out a wide swath of light, but I don't know what its intended purpose was. Anyone seen one of these before?

    ION to unconventional LED's

    Are you talking about these?They are 5 channel DMX so I would imagine RGBW and dimmer being your five channels. Although I have seen some LED fixtures use the fifth channel as a mode selector. If you patch them as regular DMX channels you may have to bring up two or three channels at a time...

    115v vs 120v lamps

    Someone double check my math and correct me if I'm wrong:a 575w/120v lamp will draw 4.79amps at 120v (W=VA) a 575w/115v lamp will draw 5 amps at 115v (also W=VA)These lamps are designed for a particular resistance at the stated voltage, namely 25.05 Ohms and 23 Ohms respectively (R=V/A)So...

    A novice's project w/ Color Kinetics, elementary help needed. Project thread.

    I'm going to ignore for the moment the setup part of all of that. You are correct in your assumption that you will need the Light System Manager in order to program the Ethernet controllers. The keypads are for playback of pre-programmed light shows which you must first create using the LSM...

    Is there a lighting console that works like this?

    I think DanTt hit it. [GROUP][SUB]# @ /% Enter should let you keep the proportionality of the sub channels while still allowing you to raise and lower levels. At least in theory.
