    Was it me or my wiring?

    Just one additional comment, as seemingly no one else has noted this: In your first post you wrote about one end of the cable being pre-terminated. Does that mean, it has a plug on in? If this is the case its very likely your cable has stranded instead of solid wires in it. You will not be able...

    Some nooby dimmer questions.

    I once again like to come back to that point. As I had the same idea once, I can contribute some first hand experience here... Of course it is possible to control pan/tilt of a movinghead with two faders. If you just want to move it to a point on stage and store its position. It's a pain...

    Control/Dimming Please Help!! - DMX controller to connect to a 16 channel RGY Laser.

    Hi, without further information it's really hard to give you any useful advice. You should at least provide a link to the manual - I wasn't able to find anything online but the sellers pages on ebay. The same goes for the controller. There is like 100 different devices by that name (all...

    Automated Fixtures Can't switch off lamp: Clay Paky Stage Scan

    Hi, sorry for not answering that long. I just had no chance to get the scanner on the ground, yet. And as I don't feel that comfortable up on a ladder, i won't do any repairs this way. But I think friday i will finally manage to further look into this. (It's not my day job and i'm only there...

    Automated Fixtures Can't switch off lamp: Clay Paky Stage Scan

    Hello again... Well it took some time, but i finally managed to test all the things you suggested. But I still had no luck getting things to work - instead now a second scanner shows the same deffect. What I did first was to set the scanner to the same address as the one right next to it...

    Automated Fixtures Can't switch off lamp: Clay Paky Stage Scan

    Hi John Well, I'm pretty sure they are set like you said, but i will check it again. At least mechanically they appeared to be fine when I tried every possible combination :) But to actually check they are switching anything might be worth trying. As far as i remeber the switches are only...

    Automated Fixtures Can't switch off lamp: Clay Paky Stage Scan

    There is no such thing as a menu, only a bunch of DIP switches. The two of them, that are lamp-related, are labeled: Enable/Disable and 5-Min-Lamp-Off/Lamp-On-Off I have them set to Enable and Lamp-On-Off. Those settings are the same for all 4 fixtures so i guess this is correct...

    Automated Fixtures Can't switch off lamp: Clay Paky Stage Scan

    We even tried a completely different console with no effect. The DMX Bus is terminated, but the lamp becomes ignited on power-up, even if dmx is not connected at all. Everything else, except lamp control, works fine.

    Automated Fixtures Can't switch off lamp: Clay Paky Stage Scan

    Hi everyone, we recently bought some used Clay Paky Stage Scans and are experiencing problems with dmx controlling the lamp. One of the four fixtures immediately ignites the lamp as soon as the power switch is flipped and the lamp can not be shut down again. The other three scanners do...
