panichire Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hello,I have several Strand ACT 6 + dimmer packs(analogue). The ones with the fuseholders along the bottom. I have been using them with a light processor demux unit. One by one channels started flickering on and off at random, and now most of these packs are unuseable. I have also some Strand ACT 6 packs(with the fuseholders along the right hand side), and these ones behave perfectly (with the same demux).I am wondering is it the light processor, although I cant see how it would be or just a very strange coincidence? It all happened during a show, by the end of the show, I had lost control of quite a few channels.I recently bought another ACT 6 + on EBAY and could not believe it when it started to do the same.Anyone have any ideas?

musht Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Common feature seems to be the demux rather than the dimmers, sounds like a ground reference aint all it should be if it affects several channels, dry joint somewhere in the chain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Pearce Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 You're not feeding pack -15V out back into the demux are you? That could damage the analogue control board inside the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
