    Hi Everyone,

    Had a cbus system controlling lighting stands at a harness race track, all working fine then one day a certain bank of lights decides not to turn on anymore.

    I doubt it has anything to do with the programming or software, sounds electrical related to me...either a faulty relay or a drop in bus voltage to that area of the network or something.

    What are people's immediate thoughts of what it could be without knowing any of the details yet (the situation im in at the moment ;))

    Thanks,

    Craig

    Electrical fault, lightning strike, dead product...

    If its controlled in a lighting tower then take the covers off and poke around (CAREFULLY) - see if there is power in the tower, power going into the relay units, see if relays have lights on, see if local override buttons do anything...
