ETCLink errors
ETCLink provides advisory messages for a wide variety of conditions,
including information regarding your dimmers, racks, system, data, ports,
and loads. These messages fall into two categories, fatal messages and
secondary messages.
Fatal messages deal with anything that could potentially terminate or dras-
tically change the look of your show. You may set fatal messages to be
displayed even when secondary messages have been disabled.
Secondary messages deal with individual dimmer problems and warnings
of potential rack temperature problems. These messages are generally
less critical than the fatal messages. If you wish, secondary messages
may be disabled without disabling fatal messages. See
Disabling second-
ary messages on page 230 for more information.
Fatal messages
Dimmer # has shut down due to an overtemperature condition. The
dimmer will remain shut down until the condition is cleared at the
dimmer rack. Use Dimmer Status to determine the rack number for
the dimmer.
Rack # DMX port A/B failure. Either there is a problem with the DMX
cabling/connections between the console and the rack, or the rack
has been configured incorrectly.
Rack # A/B/C phase input (main) voltage is in error at #V.
Rack # input (main) frequency is out of spec at #Hz.
Rack # has shut down due to fan failure or other interruption of air
flow. Please check the rack, looking for dirty air filters, blocked air
passages, or fan failure.
ETCLink has failed. Please check cabling and connections. If the prob-
lem persists, please call a qualified service technician.
