Pan not recalling preset position accurately

Moving on with one other small issue.
Have a DL-2 unit not recalling it's pan position accurately. it's not off by much and actually seems to about the same amount everytime.
Cleaned the encoders with a little isopropal alcohol without any change.
Any input or instruction to point us in the right direction in regards to documentation for a fix/adjustment would be appreciated. Checked control and our input DMX values are accurate.
Thanks Again!!!

    Is this on Pan or Tilt? or both?

    One thing to try if you haven't already is calibrating the motors. Under the "TEST" tab in the menu is an option to do this, but make sure before you do that the unit is on a solid surface. It's best to do it on the ground, but it can be done while hanging on a truss as long as that truss is VERY still.

    Also, if it is pan, you might have a pan belt loosening up on you. Remove the two covers on the fixture's top box to get to the motor plate holding the two pan motors. Loosen the 4 bolts holding the plate down (don't completely remove them, just loosen them so the plate will move). Allow the spring attached to the plate to re-tention the belt, then tighten the bolts back good and snug.

    Give those a try and see if it is still having problems. I'll be happy to help further if you still have problems.

    Hope this helps! :headbang:
