What does the 'strobe' function do?
The strobe function rapidly turns the light on and off. You can adjust the frequency (1-20 Hz) via DMX or the control panel. It creates a flashing effect.
The fan is loud. Is that normal?
The fan speed adjusts automatically based on temperature. If it is unusually loud, check for obstructions or clean the fan. If the noise persists, the fan may need replacement.
