�?�static discharge�?�

If your lights have a grounded plug, then static will have no effect. I have a feeling something eles must be wronge.

ouch static! just keep a magnet with you if you feel that static is a proble and touch it before you touch the lights

DO NOT PUT IT NEAR YOUR MIXER

Hook it up to by it self and see if it still goes haywire. Change the address with another scanner, check DMX termination. If a static dischagre gets into the DMX line it may do damage.

k am going to try what you said Support , thanx.....and on the same one the steping moter for the mirror is acting wird, like some time you put it on a seen and every thing els is ok but the mirror will be off from a coupel of degres....so then i just whant to now if there is anything i can to or am just better buying new moters


p.s. (that scanner i bought used)
thanx

if one on the gears is messed up in the motor it will go off track. if you reset the Xtreme and it goes back on track it is most likely the motor. if it doesn't straighten up it could be the chip. either way call support at 800 322 6337 from 8 to 5 M-F. they can help you out more.

cool thanx

If you do not open the case, you cannot harm the light by static discharge from your hands/body. If you open the case and handle the chips/electronic components inside the box, you can potentially cause damage by static discharge.
Touching a magnet will do no more good than Voodoo or dancing on your head. (VERY, VERY stupid post!!!!!!!!)
A grounded plug makes no difference. A proper case will not allow static to harm internal components regardless of whether it is plugged in or not.
Take it from an electrical engineer who has worked static discharge issues, don't open the case - no static issues. The problems you are seeing with your unit are MUCH more likely due to wear, broken parts, etc or - remotely - a voltage spike (lightning, not static!!!!).

To rid your body of static, touch a cold water pipe rather than a magnet.
The pipe runs from under the sink, through the walls,
and into the ground, so it's a great ground.
Then your only problem is how to avoid building up more static on
your way from the bathroom to wherever you are working on
your light. The best practice if you need to mess with a circuit
board is to use a wrist strap with a wire that runs from you
to a good ground. That way you STAY static free.

I agree with Support. Disconnect the DMX cable and see if the unit still goes haywire. I had the same problem with four ADJ Spiral Scans and a terminating resistor on the last fixture fixed the problem.
