Ion Fader Wing submasters not functioning as expected

Hi,

I have an ETC Ion that I recently updated the firmware on and now the Fader Wing is not working as it used to.  When I assign a submaster to the fader wing and move the fader from 0-100, the channels of the submaster don't change value until about 80.  They then come on at 80% and fade from there to 100%.  I have checked the curves and don't see anything that would cause this behavior.  Prior to the firmware update, this never happened.  I deep cleared the console and still this behavior persists.  What is going on here?

  • Hi Chris,

    This is definitely odd behavior.  To verify that it is indeed a hardware issue with the wing, run the Face Panel Test from the Shell.   (Exit ION, then click on Settings -> Maintenance -> Face Panel Tester)

    Once in the test application, click on Universal Wings.

    Check the fader operation.

    A call to Tech Support will most likely be necessary, we may need to roll your firmware back, or perhaps replace the wing.  1-800-688-4116 will get you in touch with Tech Support in the USA.
