I am having trouble with 4 pocket scans... I am using them in series i.e. they are set 1,17,33,49 ect.... well the main problem is that the lights shut off when ever they want... they might pop on right away or it might take several minutes for them to come back on... just wondering if anyone has ever heard of this problem before... If you have anymore questions or maybe an answer I would love you forever...

thanks

You have the dmx values set too far apart. The signal is looking for the fixtures between 1 and 17. I have mine set at 4,11,18,25 on an automate and they work great. I tried setting them different to see if they would act differently but they just went whacko. Hope this helps. Also for an awsome effect, if you have the time to set up early, try putting one pocket in each corner of your dance floor and pointing them all to dead center. If you set the dmx values right they make an awsome tornado patter in stand alone mode...no controller.
I have to apologize, I was possibly incorect on the dmx values for your pocket scans. The values depend on what controller you're using. Most controllers have a polarity switch on the back that you can check. Also if you're using long runs of dmx cable you might need a terminator on the last fixture. Sorry Frowner
