Smartfade 2496 Flashing lights when turned on

When turning on the Smartfade 2496 on, the lights will work for about 10 minutes before the lights will start flashing even when all the faders are down but when we use our backup dimmer, the lights works fine. Right now we are using software 1.7.1. Is there anything I can do to fix the problem?

  • What is the length of your DMX run.

    Is your system terminated?

    1st bring the board close to the stage and try a short "Quality" cable.

    I used (DURAFLEX) to wresolve my issues on a 150' run.

    Also terminate your system as required.

     

    Hope this helps.

    I am not sure about the DMX cable but I think know than 150'. Everything we have is stationary. When I looked at the racks yesterday, and all racks are "system is OK". I hope to get a closer look at it later on this week . One thing I did notice is that when the theaterical lights heats up, they starts to flash. It might be in the rack or in the control area.  Something might have changed settings in one of the racks.  When we used the dimmers for the theaterical lights, they work fine. Thank you so much for the information. i will check on the system again on this weekend and I will let you know what I find.
