Lights dimming by themselves

 

We have an ETC Smartfade 2496 dimmer board.

Intermittently  with noone at the board  all lights both theatrical and house  (Church)  start dimming. 

Have been accused of doing this to get preacher to stop ... :)

 

Touching any of the dimmer controls  buttons or slides stops and goes back to normal settings..

  • The problem could be caused by the "Event Scheduler" in the Lightronics AR1202 RTC (Real Time Clock) dimmer unit. Someone may have accidently  gone into the "Events" menu item and created a time event which would cause lights to be triggered on at a certain time. Push  MENU >NEXT>"Events"> "Off">ENTER>CLEAR to turn off the event scheduler function. Worth a try. It can be very frustrating to find if you don't know it exists. The owners manual can be downloaded from www.lightronics.com for further information on this function.
