I have 3 RGB light bars, 6 slim pars, jelly dome, Eclipse and 2 RGBWA-UV pars running in a wireless system.
One of my light bars has decided to not obey the main fader for it. It will turn on with just and individual channel (ie. blue, red, etc) and ignore any adjustment to the main fader.
I have tried:
Switching it for a new fixture
Changing to a cable
unplugging other fixtures
And nothing has changed this strange phenomena.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this?

Re: Troubleshooting a rogue light bar
We suggest you to swap the dmx address of the defective light bar with a working light bar.
- if the defective light bar still does not work, the problem comes certainly from this light bar
- if the defective bar now works and the working bar now does not work, the problem comes certainly from the software (or the dmx lines)

Re: Troubleshooting a rogue light bar
Thanks for the advice.
I switched the addressing of the fixtures and the issue stayed with the original fixture.
I then ran a cable from my Xpress box directly to the fixture and the issue continued.
It seems that it is the fixture...and the extra one I have has the same issue. Strange.
I don't why I didn't notice this before.
I appreciate the help.

No problem.
This is a good news to know it works now.
