Greentree38 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hi All,Had a small glitch just then...... Left my controller on all day instead of turning it off as usual.... Whenever a sequence finishes or the hardware utility is closed (All channels off) my controller leaves a channel on....I re-pluged them all in and check my cable run....Just Weird... Why would this happen?? Do i need new firm wear for the controller i'm on 2.9.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore60 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Is the one channel on at full intensity or some level less? If on some level less, then if you run that channel in test does it shimmer, twinkle and do full on? If so then I would say the triac on that channel is bad.If you will modify your profile to give you location. Just maybe there will be another LOR user near you that would be willing to assist.

Pipelayer Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Not just on G-3, mine are G2 v4, and I had to unplug those channels cause when they powered up, they then stayed on. Could not even turn off, by disabling show. Happening only on 2 of 4 of the new controllers I ordered this year. Verifier said no problems. I have a total of 9 controllers, no problems on them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papap Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Pipelayer. Having same problem with 2 controllers. Another was acting up but it is working fine now. Have 2 replacements on the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipelayer Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Have made a discovery that all 4 of my new controllers, never had reset jumpers on the pins on the boards, not really sure how they ran. Have enclosed a pic of my controller, as the pins where actually running horizontial instead of vertically on the board. installed pin on the 2nd set of pins from the left and it cured my problems for now it seems anyway.

papap Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I tried moving the jumper to make unit reset. But I do not think it resets because the unit ID does not change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do not think it resets because the unit ID does not change.Which controller are you referring to. 16xx series or the PC series. Gen 2 or Gen 3.If I remember correctly, (been so long since I've had to reset any of my controllers) I don't think a reset will change the controller ID on a Gen 1 or Gen 2 PC controller.With those, the flicker pattern of the LED reports the reset results.

papap Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I have tried resetting it by taking the jumper off and by moving it. Not luck. The are sending me new boards. He said he thinks the Traci was fixing to go out. Hope they are in tomorrow and also hope no more go out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
