madferit101 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hi all, Just found out one of our Robe Colourspot 1200s was plugged into a dimmer at 30% ish by one of our students by mistake. All I know is that it will not power on. Does anyone know where to start to get it back up and running? I fear that I'll need sending off to be looked at properly. Thanks!

Tomo Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Ouch. Dimmer at 30% is probably the worst possible thing to do to an "intelligent" fixture. The PSU is almost certainly destroyed. If it's a magnetic (1200 AT) ballast unit that might have survived, if electronic (1200E AT) it probably didn't.There may be other damage too. Needs to go to a Robe dealer/service centre. This is why I like 15A for dimmed and 16A Ceeform for hot power. It makes it so much less likely to accidentally connect something non-dimmable to a dimmer.

madferit101 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Thanks, I feared as much. The proplem we've got is that it's a 40ish year old building and everything is on 15A, including the hard power independents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
