SS 575 Initialization problems

SS 575... When I turn it on, it does the LWR on the panel, does the self diagnostic stuff, but then when it comes time to home the fixture, it resets, and starts the boot process again...

Has anyone seen this before, and is it an easy fix?

    test 1... power up. all three power supplies reset when the motors hit.

    test 2... unhook VGA cable and Printer cable for top motors. All three power supplies would then home the pan/tilt.

    i have a pan or tilt motor issue with this fixture.

    thanks for the tips!

    VGA Cable? Printer Cable? WTF?

    Is this a SS575 or ? ? ?

    Or do you simply mean the DB25 connector in the head . . .

    It's possible that something is shorted and pulling down the supply - you might want to try pulling driver chips one at a time and see if you can find a motor that causes it to fail . . .

    And I don't agree that the issue is pan/tilt . . . If it works *WITH* pan/tilt only, that pretty much says that pan/tilt *WORK*, and the problem is in the head, at least if it is a bad motor.

    That, or you might have a bad connector or break in the wires from the supply to the logic card, again causing a voltage loss. Have you actually pulled out a volt meter to see what the main PCB is getting from the power supply?
