What type of control connector is on the front? As far as I can tell from the spec sheet I have, Dimmex was analog 0-10, not DMX, and used either a DB-15 or DB-25 connector. EDI could have added a DMX version at some point though. The type of control connector should tell the story. A photo would be great.

I assume you can force the dimmers on by using the test switches. Have you "exercised" the signal format slide switch by moving it back and forth a few times? If the MUX indicator does not light up when you apply a DMX signal to the 5-pin male XLR, the next thing to try might be replacing the DMX receiver IC, which should be near the input jack. Probably a SN75176 8-pin IC or similar. If you don't get any other suggestions, go to: http://ediserviceandrepair.info/

One way to narrow down where the problem lies would be to test with 0-10v signals on the DB-25. Then you will know if the problem is in the multiplex circuits or in the dimmer control circuits.
