I know that it is not ideal to have a motor on a switched dimmer but I do not have non-dim relays available. I have a turntable plugged in because the director wants to control it with the light board. I can program it into cues and that works fine. However, when I set it on a sub master and try to use the bump button, nothing happens. For rehearsals, I need to be able to just push a button to have it. Ove. Can someone guide me please?
Motor control from lighting console is just a bad idea. Unless you have an extensive safety system in place you are personally responsible for anything that happens if you accidentally turn the motor on or off when it should not be moving. Beyond ideal you should not be doing this. If the director needs remote control of the motor then he needs to have the money to do it right. This is just my personal opinion but I would never agree to run what amounts to an automation system from a lighting console.
The sub master issue you are having highlights your knowledge or lack of.
