American DJ DJ Roller instruction manual No light from the unit, Unit not responding to DMX

DJ Roller™ Trouble Shooting

Listed below are a few common problems the user may encounter, with solutions.

No light from the unit;

1.Check if the ‘Power On’ (red) LED is lit and the fan is running. If not, there is no main power supply.

2.Check the fuse in the back panel.

3.Check if lamp is lit. The user should be able to see some light escape through the fan. If power is present but the lamp is not lit, lamp may need to be replaced.

Note: The unit has been designed to shut the lamp down after 60 seconds of inactivity. This is a way of extending lamp life, be assured this is not a problem with the fixture.

Unit not responding to DMX;

1.If the Green LED on the top of the unit is flashing, the unit is definitely receiving DMX

2.Check the dip switch settings.

3.If the DMX LED is not lit, check that the DMX cables are connected properly and are wired correctly (pin 3 is ‘hot’; on some other DMX devices pin 2 may be ‘hot’). Also, check that all cables are connected to the right connectors; it does matter which way the inputs and outputs are connected.

4.If it is a bad connection, the Green LED may flash when cables are wiggled (but remember it may also be the unit sensing audio!)

5.If DMX connectors are fairly short, ordinary microphone cables may be used. For longer runs, this may cause data transmission problems (which will show up as random or incorrect movements) for best result, use proper balanced data transmission cable.

Unit does not respond to sound;

1.Check to see if the unit is receiving DMX (the green LED should be off).

2.Tapping the microphone should cause the LED to flash (quiet or high pitched sounds will not activate the unit). If the red LED does not flash to sound there may be an internal problem.

3.Be sure the audio sensitivity knob is turn in the full clockwise position (maximum sensitivity).
