CCR's causing random lights to come on?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I lit up my display on Thanksgiving night, even though while testing for a couple of days prior I noticed random lights coming on. Now I experienced this last year and right away I knew it had to be noise on the communication lines. I spent days trying to reroute the lines, retipped every single cable, unplugging and plugging them in (I even completely resoldered a controller board thinking I had it isolated to that controller) until I finally found the problem.

This year I had plenty of time to put up my display (since I am not fighting daily migraines) so I ran all of the power cables very neatly and bundled up. Since the bundle of cords were run together there was a large amount of current there. Well the power cord for the CCR controllers was also in that bunch and I guess noise from the other cables was being induced into the CCR power cable. I ran a different power cord, in a different route and the random lights cleared up.

So if you are experience random lights, don't only check and reroute the communication cables, CHECK YOUR POWER CABLES ALSO!!!

I hope this helps somebody.
