Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I just completed my first LOR 16 Channel Kit. When I put a multi meter on the output leads on any chanel and use the Hardware util to put any channel on I only get 50-60 volts. Fading, shimmering and so on works but I never get more then 60 volts. I checked the input and I am getting 124. Any ideas???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I found my problem. When I put a meter on the output leads I get a reading of something around 54 volts. When I put the meter on the leads with a string of lights connected I get a reading of 120 volts. But now my # 10 channel seams to be stuck on!

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I pulled spares from another kit and I replaced both and the channel now works fine. I ordered some replacement parts from Dan so that I can complete the other kit that I took the parts from. Everything looks good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Would never poke fun! My wife got me a kit for my birthday and my family chipped in for another and I bought myself one. I've seen many displays using 16 channels that are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 One thing I was told when learning to drive: learn on a stick with a small engine. After that, everything else is easy. Perfect your skills on lesser equipment, and reap the benefits when you get more. FWIW, the Bellagio has 4000 individually controlled lights. The equivalent of 250 16-channel LOR controllers. But I'm sure they paid a lot more than $55,000 for that capability!Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
