Ghosting on Channels 1-8 on dimmer rack

I have a 24 channel ETC sensor dimmer rack that is ghosting on channels 1-8 when I plug in DMX. I at first switched out the dimmer modules thinking that those were what is bad but they don't ghost lower in the rack still just 1-8. Then I thought maybe my board was causig it but i hooked it up to another dimmer and I don't get the issue. Can anyone tell me what might be causing this. Something with the power or inside the brain of the dimmer rack.

Thanks,
 
Is this rack addressed straight or balanced across three phases? It sounds like you have an issue with Phase A. Have you tried swapping the CEM into another rack to see if it is a CEM issue?

I haven't tried that yet. I did put a different CEM into the rack and it did the same thing. Only it didn't ghost quite as bright. If that was the issue how would I go about fixing it?(Straight or Balanced)
 
Sounds to me like there might be a problem with the zero crossing detection on Phase A.
But not knowing ETc gear, I can't comment on which module that would be in nor how to repair it...
 
Have you contacted ETC? They are famous for the quality of support they offer.
