Hey all! Brand new here, and lookin for some help.
Just installed a brand new lighting system for my local church. We have an elation scene setter (24 channel) which runs (4) four channel DMX dimmers. These are connected with a 3-pin DMX cable.
Gepco DLC224 250 250 ft. High-Bandwidth, 24 AWG 4-Conductor DMX Cable Wire | Full Compass
(this is the cable we bought)
I put neutrik connectors on them. 1 - white, 2 black, 3 red. I left the shield un-soldered.
We cannot get the signal from the controller to the dimmers to work. The cable we pulled (through conduit, walls, etc) is not working for the lights. However, as a test, we did continuity testing (as well as using a regular microphone to our mixing board) and the cable seems to be fine. We then took 2 mic cables and plugged them in directly from the controller to the dimmers and everything works perfectly. However, something is up with the cable that we pulled.
Interference? How to get around it? Do I need to terminate? What did I do wrong?
I appreciate any and all help. I will be working on this all day every day until I get it resolved as we have a big production going on this week and need this to get working!
THANK YOU!
