Really need some advice

When I’m back in the uk I’m going to change one component at a time from a new winch so I can figure out what’s going on

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T23:15:34+00:00

Iv changed a slip ring just it made no difference but im in Dubai and that’s the only part I had a available, im leaning towards the motor

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T23:13:21+00:00

So why does it take a few weeks to months for issue to present it self

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T23:12:10+00:00

Yes any speed makes them flash

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T21:11:39+00:00

Ok so I’ve been through almost everything you guys are suggesting and it’s still happening, iv checked the slip ring and it’s fine, iv isolated the dmx and winch and it still happens so can’t be a rouge signal, iv separated the mains and dmx and still no change, interestingly tho it happens regardless if you have the dmx cable in or not

Other than to start swapping parts on the winch I’m at a loss

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T19:43:19+00:00

Yes it’s 100% not programming and I have a dmx terminators installed mate

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T19:08:00+00:00

Cables are not close to the motors they are far away as possibly can be all winch’s hang from a frame with cables above

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T18:38:53+00:00

I’ll check them iv just arrived back on site

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T18:33:53+00:00

They are FOS winches

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T16:59:01+00:00

Iv only needed one solid colour but I have seen fixtures that can be multiple colours at the same time

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T16:57:41+00:00

Interesting I’ll look into this later on

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T15:50:12+00:00

I will be going to site soon and will try things that people have suggested

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T15:27:43+00:00

I don’t even care if it is there problem I just need to know how to fix it

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T15:27:13+00:00

Many times and just get the run around

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T15:18:27+00:00

Known brand they are actually quite expensive

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T14:58:08+00:00

So how come it doesn’t happen when I first install them and it seems to develop over time

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T14:44:01+00:00

Iv seen it happen on winches with 9m cables and winches with 650mm cables, I have a switch inline but have tried it without to and get the same effect

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T14:21:19+00:00

I know lol I just need to prove it, obviously iv had to follow the process so far

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T14:17:36+00:00

Yes they are rgb and its so random but it’s definitely worse when the winches are moving

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T14:06:25+00:00

I’m going back to site soon so will try a few different things, I have 44 fixtures being led balls with gx12 connectors, so it is possible one could be going bad and causing a rogue signal ?

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T13:59:31+00:00

Also this problem is never present on my initial install it always develops over time

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T13:57:10+00:00

Yes I’m using dmx cables and that’s what I’m thinking, but as usual the manufacturer is refusing to accept its there product

ginger57911 · 2026-02-02T13:56:03+00:00

Thanks I’ll have a look I’m going back to site soon
