What to do if a power socket isn’t working
The light switches and power sockets at Didsbury are controlled by several different ‘consumer units’ (fuse boxes). They’re a good place to start if something doesn’t have power. Here’s where they all are…
Behind desk
Stand at the PA desk, turn around 180 degrees – it’s on the little bit of wall facing you. This controls:
- everything at the PA desk area
- the dimmable lights system
Tech room, rear
In the tech room, behind the tall black rack of gear, high up on the rear wall. This controls:
- all gear in the tech room, inc lighting
- power sockets on stage
Alarm panel
In the corridor to the back door, above the panel for setting the alarm. This controls:
- power & lights in the chat room & corridor
- the burglar alarm
Tech room, near
In the main tech room, high on the wall immediately to the left of the door as you enter. This controls:
- lights & power in the porch
- external lights
Need a fuse?
There’s a stock of fuses in the tech room. Look in the “tools” box located on the middle shelf of the middle rack of storage.
