Trouble Shooting

You can expect years of trouble free operation from your
Golden Strobe DMX. However, incorrect voltage, power
surges, or other occurrences can cause equipment failure. If
such problems do occur, visit a certified technician for service.

Problem: Strobe does not flash when it should.

Solution:

!Check DMX signal. Is the DMX dip switch setting correct?
!Get a working DMX strobe and cable. Link properly to

controller. Test. If this strobe flashes properly, the first
strobe is malfunctioning.

!Check fuse.Try to re-set.

This is a brief guide to DMX dip switch value settings.

DMX products must have their own "address" to receive DMX signals.
Addresses on FL-1800D MK2 are set by flipping appropriate DMX dip
switches.

To do this, you need to know that DMX dip switches have the following values:
#1=1; #2=2; #3=4; #4=8; #5=16; #6=32; #7=64; #8=128; #9=256. And you
need to know that DMX address settings are the sum of the dip switch values.

For example, standard DMX addresses for four FL-1800D MK2 , each of
which has two channels (See page 2.), follow:

Address Value DMX Dip Switches "ON"

Unit 1 1 #1
Unit 2 3 #2 & #1
Unit 3 5 #3 & #1
Unit 4 7 #3, #2, #1

Explanation: Since each unit has two channels, each address advances two
values (See Address Value above).

Once address values are figured out, add DMX dip switch values to obtain the
appropriate address (Any of Dip 1-9 "ON) for each unit. Flip appropriate DMX
dip switches on each unit.
