8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light bar does not power on. | No power to the unit; faulty power cord; power switch off. | Check power connection to outlet and light bar. Ensure the power outlet is functional. Replace power cord if damaged. |
| No light output. | Incorrect mode selected; brightness set to zero; DMX signal issue. | Verify operating mode (Auto, Sound, DMX). Increase brightness setting. Check DMX connections and address if in DMX mode. |
| DMX control not working correctly. | Incorrect DMX address; wrong channel mode; faulty DMX cable; DMX controller issue. | Ensure DMX address matches controller. Verify channel mode (4/11/165Ch). Check DMX cable integrity. Test with a different DMX controller if possible. |
| Fan noise is noticeable. | Normal operation for cooling. | A certain level of fan noise is expected for cooling the LEDs. This is typically less noticeable in environments with ambient sound or music. |
| Remote control is unresponsive. | Dead battery; obstruction; out of range. | Replace the remote control battery. Ensure a clear line of sight to the light bar's IR receiver. Operate within the specified range. |
