Re: Elation Satura Profile G5UFan1 Er
Hey @Michael Dimsey , I would check number 5 board. That board would be the PCB with 7 Drivers Located towards the LED Source. It should have a sticker labeled HY1324/5U01, or the board should have a PCB1127-0-C. That fan should go to that board and connected to 5JB1. I would just follow that connection to the fan.

Old Trackpod 81 TP-81 Intelligent LEDs Color Systems blowing fuses at power on.
Hello All, While I am a electronics technician, I have no experience with production lighting or LED systems as I am more of an amp guy. I recently purchased 8 old Elation/Alkalite TP-81 Intelligent LED Color Systems ( Link ) and a few 575E AT moving head lights at a liquidation sale for a local production company. Literally everything has 1 or two issues, but almost all of the TP-81sblow the 2A GMA fuse at power on. I am guessing this must have been a common issue with these because they...

Fixture Profile for American DJ Focus Spot 3 moving light
Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has a fixture profile for an American DJ Focus Spot 3 light, or know of another profile that is already in the SD2 profiles folder, that will work with this fixture. The fixture has both an 18 and 21 channel DMX mode, while the SD2 only has 16 and 24, neither of which have worked with this light. I am using a closed government network so I'm not able to download and use the fixture profile creator that I've seen mentioned on other threads. Thank you for your...

Using MIDI with Alcorn McBride WinScript
I'm designing a 4D simulation using an Alcorn McBride V16 Pro as the base controller. For the lights, the V16 has MIDI out which I'm sending to an SD2 lighting board. The issue is that the MIDI format is different than standard MIDI. Does anyone know any workarounds for this? Particularly if you've had experience using WinScript to program MIDI cues. I don't know if there is a way for the MIDI message to automatically convert to Elation's format or if there is a specific I/O or variable I...

Re: Old Trackpod 81 TP-81 Intelligent LEDs Color Systems blowing fuses at power on.
Greetings unfortunately this is a very old unit and literature is no longer available. I would look at the toroidal transformer, im willing to bet its shorting out. FYI we no longer have parts available as well.

Re: Using MIDI with Alcorn McBride WinScript
The SD2 uses standard MIDI continuous controller messages to trigger scenes. As long as you can generate those from you software you should be able to create cues. The SD2 manual has a page that shows how to make the message. Controller messages work better than notes for this controller due to the large number of scene slots.

Show Designer 1 - Not operating
Hi, I recently got back to my Winter job and found that our Show Designer 1 is inoperative. When I tried to turn the power switch on or off the blue LCD screen flashes for a second then goes blank. Nothing is operative on the board, no lights (LED) or anything. Is there a method of restoring to factory? Or is this a failure that needs a factory repair (RMA)? How do I contact Elation for an RMA ans shipping instructions? Thanks for the assist in advance. SquireDude

Elation LED Spot II Locking up
Hey everyone, I am working with six different LED Spot II moving head fixtures, and they are all having the same issue. They will randomly lock up and not respond to any DMX control signals. The only way to fix it is with either a power cycle, or to wait until the fixture automatically does a fixture reset. After which, everything is back to normal until it locks up again. It only seems to effect the LED II fixtures, and not our LED III fixtures. Is this a common issue? Is there a way to fix...

Re: Fixture profiles for Martin LED units compatible with NX2 (M2GOHD)
Hi, all you need to do is place the .EXE installer onto a USB stick, plug it into the console and run the fixture library update from the settings menu on the console. You cannot import individual fixtures from the exe, you need to let it update the whole library. This is the way it has always been done.

Elation 360i LCD blinking
Hi, I have a row of 15 Elation 360i fixtures and all of them won't take DMX signal when powered anymore. I've had them for a long time now and they've been working great. However, all the sudden all of them started not taking signal and their screens are blinking on and off in sync. I looked through the entire manual and couldn't find anything about it. Does anyone here know what's wrong with the fixtures?

Chase doesn't loop
I have a Elation DMX operator Pro console. When I manually create chase scenes, ( meaning I am not just setting up chases from existing scenes that are saved) lets say 10 steps. After saving and hitting the play back, it cycles thru the 10 steps and stops on the last step instead of starting back at the beginning of the chase. This is just on the moving light section, I am not using any par cans. Just moving heads and 4bar L.E.D.'s. In addition, when i program a chase that is built from...

Re: Flickering Light
I would look at your DMX runs and make sure: A) That you don't have too many DMX devices on one run B) that the DMX line is terminated at the end C) If you have a DMXcat or DMX tester, try sitting in a cue/look and seeing if the flicker finder notices anything. You can also view the DMX levels while you see the flicker and see if something is being sent that shouldn't.

Re: Equipment Compatiability for Church Lighting
Thank you for your response. So, just to be clear. Fixtures need to plug straight into AC with the powerCON/Edison adapter. DMX just daisy chains through the lighting fixtures. DMX addresses each fixture directly. Correct?

Re: Equipment Compatiability for Church Lighting
Hi, these KL series of fixtures cannot be run off of a dimmer pack, or at least the ones you mentioned cannot. they need their own power source that is outside of the edison plugs on the DP-DMX20L. and they will have to be wired into DMX in the chain as new fixtures.
