ion

last night i power down are ion and a lamp in the rig snapped on. this happened to me before last year when i toured with a different ion, so i turned the ion back on and the lamp went out. i didn't load up a show i just shut down again and then a different lamp snapped on.  so i powered the ion back on and the lamp went out and this time i loaded the show and "GO TO CUE 0 ENTER"  and then powered off again. it all seemed to be fine after that.

this is an ion that we are renting its not in a etc system we just have it DMX straight to the dimmer. just want to know does this happen a lot.

  • I want to say that this is more of a dimmer rack problem than the console.  We have 4 IONs and we only have this occasionally occur in only 1 of our facilities.  That facility has an older EDI Mark 7 rack that we added a DMX board to the architechtural controller to allow us to control the houselights.  We only have a houselight dimmer or two lock on until console reboot.  Just my two cents.

    It happens intermittently with my Ion and Sensor system and it's not even 5 years old yet.
