Posted: Fri 16 Dec 2016 08:37
Hey all. First post be gentle with me. So been working gon lighting rig at my church which is controlled by lumidesk live box. This is there second box. Now... I mean I have dmx fixtures reverting into demo mode or color change after turning off the breaker. I was sure electrical issue . So ran new powerlines for the stage lights. Grounded everything.
Replaced all the messy xlr cables with dmx cables. System worked fine for the morning . Service started everything started flickering then lumidesk box stopped working. Again today same thing except now the live box won't even start up. Started to smell funky ( electrical 2burn) usb wire from pc felt oddly hot.
System is as follows. Lumidesk live box too a dmx splitter. Splitter to stage lights circuit 1 then back to lumidesk live box. ( Splitter because I do have more lights to add but will over do it ) have 23 lights in this circuit. Thurs still 2 more circuits each with about 14lights to them. Plus one more like every for a dimmer pack for some regular can lights. The pc is at least 145feet from Splitter.
Help plz to eliminate something I'm missing. Thx
