[SML] Ion / ultratec radiance hazer

[Riter, Andrew]

Congrats on the new console.  You’ll love it.

Have you loaded the fixture profile in the patch for the hazer?
The “fixture” will take up 2 addresses (DMX 1 (hazer) and 2 (fan)).  I’m assuming second universe, since address 1 in U 1 would be a dimmer???
So the patch address should be @ 2/1  (At universe 2, address 1).  It will display as address 1-2.  Or 2/1-2, or 513-514, depending on pressing Format key.

The profile will automatically take the second address, since it knows the device requires 2 consecutive addresses.

Check “dimmer” profiles assigned to the address.
Check all your subs.  Does one also have the hazer channel recorded into it?
                (Use [About] (chan) xx)  it will show level, and source of level.

I’ve always hot-patched the fan, and run the hazer from the console, patched as a Hazer or Radiance Hazer.

Final advice, set-up an ETC forum account, and sign into the Eos Family forums.  Great help source, from users and ETC programmers, coders, help staff.

All,

       We've just acquired an Ion, (upgrade from a 48/96 express) This is our first time using a ultratec radiance hazer with the new board. We can't seem to get the output to drop to zero. The address is set to 001 , so I'm not in manual mode. The valid dmx led is illuminated. Another device daisy chained off of this one is working fine, so I'm reasonably sure the DMX node is working fine. We tried swapping machines from the rental house to see if something was wrong with the unit. The hazer does respond when the board calls for haze and fan speed. But the haze output won't drop to zero when the channels are set to zero. This isn't just a 5 minute lag, either, it will keep putting out continuously if we don't turn cut power to the unit.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Matt
