Our church had a lighting strike the other week and I was called in. None of the Sanctuary lights would work, Autoyokes were down, stage led fixtures were out. It also got a multitude of audio visual gear.
Sanctuary lights turned out to be Unison processor - got loaner and sent churches to ETC back in business. Sensor processor survived OK.
Stage led fixtures turned out to be Feenore amp/opti-splitter - sent to Feenore to be rebuilt. When installed 2 of the 4 Autoyokes also came to life.
However we have no control over Apollo scrollers - which are hung in a canopy on ETC fixtures about 35' up. Documentation is long gone. When I power up the scrollers they go through the 'home cycling' and then some go to different colors - the same each time - not random. I am wondering if part of their function is to return to last color set if a power failure. If so, it would seem to point to they're not getting DMX from board.
I believe the whole mess was caused by lighting getting into the DMX circuits.
If someone could verify the 'return to last color' of the scrollers it would be an enormous help.
Thanks
