LOR1600W Dimming with DMX

[english1969]

Hi,

I have an LOR1600W and I'm using it with DMX.  All is talking fine, however, I seem to be able to only get ON or OFF and not light dimming.

I've not configured the controller using the LOR sw.

Any suggestions beyond having to look at the configuration?

Thanks,

E

Are you using LEDs or Incans?  Some LED sets are NOT dimmable and you will see what you are describing.

I am using regular incandescent flood lights.

There could have been a voltage surge and it might have scrambled the brains of some of the electronics.  Let's do a reset of the problem controller. 

If it's a 1600 series Generation 1 or 2 (metal enclosure and no LED display inside), disconnect the power, set the unit ID switches to 0-0, and reapply power. The status light will blink very fast. Wait a few seconds, remove power, change the Unit ID switches back to where they were and reapply power. You've reset the board. 

If it's a 1600 series Generation 3 (metal enclosure with LED display inside), disconnect the power, press the up and down buttons simultaneously and reapply power. The display will show '0000.' Wait a few seconds, release the up and down buttons, the controller will be reset and return to normal operation in about two seconds. 

Now, run your tests again.
