LSC Lighting TEKO - Manual (Page 28)

TEKO Dimmer
Operator Manual V3.0
7 Alarms and Troubleshooting
If the TEKO dimmer is not functioning correctly,
check the LED indicators on the front panel and
the status area at the bottom of the LCD screen
for any messages.
7.1 STATUS LED
 Green = Normal operation.
 Red (flashing) = Alarm. See message on
LCD touch screen.
 Red (steady) = Alarm is acknowledged but
the problem still exists.
Possible causes of a flashing Status LED are;
 Over Temperature.
If the temperature of the TEKO is too
high, the circuitry automatically switches off the
dimmer outputs and all dimmer channels will
flash red. Either reduce the load or increase the
cooling to the TEKO. When the temperature
returns to normal, the TEKO automatically
returns to normal operation.
In the event of any alarm, read the message on
the status area of the LCD screen. Press [Ack]
on the touch screen to acknowledge the alarm.
This stops the status LED from flashing but it
remains red until the fault condition is rectified.
7.2 DMX LED
 Green = Valid DMX control signal
connected.
 Red (flashing) = Error on DMX control
signal.
 Green (flashing) = Loss of DMX control
signal.
If the DMX LED is flashing RED, the TEKO
Dimmer has detected an error in the DMX
control signal. Try connecting the TEKO Dimmer
to a known good DMX controller via the existing
DMX distribution installation. If the LED turns
green, the DMX controller is faulty.
If the DMX LED is flashing Green, the TEKO
Dimmer is not receiving a DMX control signal.
Check that the lighting control desk is ON and
sending a DMX output. Also check that any
DMX splitters in the installation are working
correctly and that all DMX cables are intact.
7.3 LSCNET LED
 Green = Valid LSCnet control signal
connected (from ePlates).
 Green (flashing) = Data traffic detected on
LSCnet.
7.4 CHANNEL LEDS
The numbered LED’s around the perimeter of
the control panel light when their respective
dimmer channel is on. The brightness of the
LEDs shows the channel level.
 They light green when under DMX control.
 They light red when under local control.
If a dimmer channel is not working check the
MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) for that dimmer
channel.
If the MCB has tripped (OFF), firstly try to
determine the cause of the breaker tripping. It
could be a blown lamp or a circuit overload.
Rectify to problem (replace the lamp or reduce
the load) then restore the MCB. If the MCB
continues to trip, refer the problem to a suitably
qualified person.
If the MCB has not tripped, you can test the
operation of the dimmer from the local LCD
touch screen. Refer to the
Channel Test section
for details. If the dimmer is working from the
touch screen but not via DMX, check that the
dimmer is patched to the correct DMX slot and
configured for the correct control source.
