Hello All,
I really need any expert advice, so please chime in no matter how remote the solution might seem.
I'm a relatively newbie and am caring for a SS48 in our youth group sanctuary. We have 4 dimmer packs (for conventional lights) and multiple ColorKey LED Par 64 cans.
To give you some reference. This is a our setup:
Channels Controls
1-4 Set of 6 LED PAR cans (Channel 1)
5-8 DimPak: 8 conventional cans (2/Ch)
9-12 DimPak: 8 conventional cans (2/Ch)
13-16 DimPak: 8 conventional cans (2/Ch)
17-20 Set of 11 LED PAR cans (Channel 17)
21-24 Set of 12 LED PAR cans (Channel 21)
25-28 Set of 6 LED PAR cans (Channel 25)
29-32 DimPak: 4 conventional lights (1/Ch)
Another volunteer accidentally changed the mode on this unit from receive to chase. In an attempt to correct it, they accidentally changed the address assigned to the dimmer pack (A:0029/CH:4). I have since corrected this, but our scene setter seems to be not operating properly. I'm hoping it's a configuration.
The SS48 is not in record mode and I can enter and exit record mode. For reference, I have cleared all programming using the 1423 code per the manual.
This is what I do:
I place the unit Master A and B to their respective maximums. I set the MODE SELECT to 1-48 Single.
The following lights are lit:
Page 1
1-48 Single (mode)
Single chase (this or the mix light has always been on in the past as well)
5 Min (speed)
Expectation:
All individual channel sliders are set high. Which should completely light up all lights in a solid state. With individual dimmer control for conventional and usual RGB and mode for the LED PAR cans.
What I observe:
With all channels high, all lights seem to be strobing in no particular order. If I drop the Master A slider somewhere between 6-7 I can stabilize most the lights, but they are significantly dimmer and PAR cans on CH 21-24 still blink occassionally.
Interestingly, if I drop all 1-48 sliders low with Master A/B at their highs. Then slide up an individual set of channels (either by PAR CAN set or dimmer pack), that particular set will stay lit and solid. However, the moment I add in another channel it begins to flicker.
I've been pulling my hair out on this for about a month and could use any help.
Thank you
Markus
