Robert G. Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I decided to do a test run of my show tonight. When I enabled the shows, the sequence started but then all the lights delayed. Everything stopped, the music continued, and then the lights started dancing again. I couldn't tell if the lights were falling behind or if they just stopped for a bit. What is causing this? How do I fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert G. Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 I just found out what the problem was, it's not delaying....the first 8 channels arn't going off. What is wrong? Only the 9-16 channels are working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwaldrep Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Is that side plugged in to electrical (assuming you have 2 in-port cords), what about the fuse, is it good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert G. Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 I put the 9-16 channel fuse in the 1-8 spot and then nothing turned on. 9-16 only turns on when it has ''its'' fuse in it. How do I tell if the fuse is blown, it has a white paper around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 What controller are you using?Is it setup with two power cords or one?If you have an Ohm Meter you can test the fuses that way.Radio Shack sells fuses if you need spares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore60 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Robert,You did not mention what controller you have. So, follow the instructions in your manual for doing a reset on the controller.The fuse on the right side channels 9-16 also powers the on board electronics. The fuse on the left side channels 1-8 only controlls the lights. Since you say the lights on channels 1-8 are not turning off, it cannot be a bad fuse. If it were a bad fuse the lights would not turn on.If a reset does not work. Then what happens with the lights when you have NO sequence running. Are they on? or Off? If they are off then it is not the controller. Check your sequence.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwaldrep Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I think the OP meant "off" in the sense of triggering any action. Much like you set off a firework, Not off, as in, won't turn the lights off, at least that is how I took it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert G. Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Yea, that's the sense I mean 'off' in. As in they won't turn on, or play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
