Channel bleed over?

Recommended Posts

I am running 48 channels for halloween and I seem to get what I am calling bleed over into channels 14,15,16 and controller 1. I use those channels strictly for a talking with witch that runs between musical sequences. However the lights on those channels flicker a  few times during each musical sequence. Those channels do work correctly when the witch sequence is running though. Any ideas? Oh, I am running only led lights on all channels

Check your sequences to be sure there is nothing in the sequence that is turning on those channels.  It is possible a cut and paste may have inadvertently ended up there. 

Also LOR controllers are sensitive to CFL lights.   Be sure there are no CFL lights on the same circuit as the controller.

I'm sure others will have suggestions for you too.

I had a little bit of that one year. Sometimes a small intensity setting is hard to see in SE. Go into those channels and click a few timings to off, copy, paste all the way to the end - just to be 100% they are all 100% off.

Also check that your power cables and data cables (cat5) are not running together. Make sure you have at least a foot separating the cables to prevent electrical interference.

Thanks guys. No CFL in display at all. I will double check data cable and highlight the flickering channels and hit delete to make sure and see what happens tonight

One tip to help determine if it is actually in the sequence, is if the flickering always happens at the same points in the sequence. If yes, it's almost certainly in the sequence. And yes a 5 percent on is very hard to see in SE, but especially with LEDs, the lights flicker quite noticeably. Don't ask how I know that so well ?
