Problems with power surge and SSA
Posted: 21 April 2010, 19:42
Hi
First of all can I say how good I think the SSA is and the great software (esp since v6 has been out)
However I would like to quibble with the specs listed. They say that the dmx in/out are protected from surges - DON'T TRUST THIS
ALWAYS run your SSA along with a protection device - at school we did not - we got a powersurge and fried the chips on the DMX in and out - it blew the DMX on 2 of our PACKS as well!!!!!!
We now always run protected
In a latter post I will detail the protection we use and the chip details in case anyone has the same problems
