ION crashes at multiple low dimmer levels

A client recently tried to bring her rig up  (150 instruments) to 20% for a Hollywood dimmer check and it crashed the board...hard reset.  The problem was repeatable and consistent, and it didn't matter if it was done at the console or RFR, all the lights at 20% reset the board.  However, when it was put on the wheel and rolled to 20%, it was fine. 

Console is running latest 1.9.6 version software.

Any thoughts?

  • Mmmm, my bet is the power draw of the lighting change dropped the voltage powering the Ion.

    Rolling into the 20% on the wheel is "softer" on the electrical system then "popping" all the filaments to 20%.

    Does the same thing happen if the client pops the rig to 50%, 80%??

    Is this in an established theatre/venue, or somewhere in a one-off location (ballroom, gym)?
