Troubleshooting
Motor not rotating
Verify power connection. Ensure the motor is correctly set to DMX, Stand Alone, or Master mode using the dip switches. If using DMX, check DMX cable connections and ensure a DMX signal is being sent.
Rotation is jerky or inconsistent
Check that the mirror ball is balanced and securely attached. Ensure the mounting structure is stable and free from vibrations. Inspect for any obstructions around the motor or mirror ball.
DMX control is not working
Confirm DMX cables are correctly connected (In/Out). Ensure the motor's DMX address is set correctly via dip switches and matches the controller's settings. Test with a different DMX controller or cables.
Motor makes unusual noise
Check for foreign objects near the motor. Ensure the mirror ball is not hitting any surfaces. If the noise persists, it may indicate an internal issue requiring professional servicing.
