Tri Phase Problem

Are these intel lights?

If so:

Are you in master/slave mode? Are you mixing lights on a master/slave chain? Don't do that.

Are you in DMX mode? Are you sharing addresses? You typically only set the starting address when assigning addresses. It's OK to duplicate addresses, but unless they are like lights and are matched identically(as in same fixture in same mode, and hence can use the same channels), that could be it.

Are you mixing DMX signalling and master/slave on one cable? Again, don't do that. Accidentally throwing a light in master mode into your DMX chain? Not good!

Using a DMX terminator?

Using DMX cabling?(yes, it makes a difference)

How long is your cable run? What is your DMX controller?

I thing NAST is short for MASTER. Not sure what A767 means. I dont feel like getting the manual. So, I'm just guessing.

Hi Chris. Thank you for responding.

I found out that NASt is for master. I still don't now what A767 means. All 4 of the wash lights are identical and are addressed the same.. I am using an eliminator DMX-DJ controller.

The Tri-phase would go to NASt when I would unplug the it from the DMX controller, I have since put it to slave.

DMX termination didn't seem to make a difference and unfortunately I live about 600 miles away from the nearest big city that would have DMX cables so I am not using them.

My run is less than 100 ft and the mic cables seem to work OK.

The lights all go wonky when I plug in that one particular wash light but only when the Tri-phase is also connected.

I've tried numerous different cables with the same results.

It's a very odd problem.

Thanks for any insight you can offer

You need to put your TriPhase into DMX mode, NOT slave mode. NOT sound active mode. YOu want the display to be ADDR and then up/down to set your channel. That's where your issue is coming from. I bet everything past the TriPhase is acting up.

If I think like my dimmer packs, A767 would refer to the DMX channel, but DMX only has 512 channels, so that can't be right.

I can hook you up with some dealers who can sell you DMX cable. It works a LOT better than microphone cabling. Also, make your own DMX terminator, it doesn't take a lot of work to do it or a lot of cost.

I know the manual says to use microphone cabling. That tech writer needs a firm talking to and made to correct these errors. DO NOT use microphone cabling. I got 2000 feet of microphone cabling(OK, maybe triple that), and it is for MICROPHONE use only in my company. I just finished labelling all my DMX cabling. No more confusion!

my thoughts, outside of USE DMX CABLING is to set the DMX address of this fixture properly. That might start making things work for you. Press ENTER. This may address your issues.

This sounds like you need to send it in for repair.
