Loss of functionality on the Relevé fixture for an entire Module
Symptoms/Issue
My Relevé fixture has lost functionality for an entire module, but the rest of the fixture continues functioning.
For example:
- Both Pan and Tilt do not function, but the Gobos and Zoom will operate properly
- Zoom and Focus do not function, but the Pan/Tilt and operate Gobos normally
- Gobos and Iris do not function, but the Pan/Tilt and Zoom/Focus operate correctly
Description/Explanation of Issue
This could be caused by a failed Motor Driver Board, which is the electronic board that drives the functions on a specific module.
Fix/Solution
- To ensure this is a failed card, swap the Motor Driver Board (MDB) with an exact same board from another fixture.
- If the problem carries with the MDB, the issue resides in that PCB.
- Contact ETC Technical Services for assistance in a replacement MDB.
- If the problem remains with the fixture, double check the wiring according to the associated guide for that specific module.
- If the issue persists after confirming proper wiring with a known working MDB, contact ETC Technical Services for assistance.
- If the problem carries with the MDB, the issue resides in that PCB.
