15. ERROR MESSAGE

When power is applied, the unit will automatically enter a “reset/test” mode. This mode

brings all the internal motors to a home position. If there is an internal problem with one or

more of the motors an error code will flash in the display in the form of “XXer” were as XX

will represent a motor function. For example, when the display shows “Pan-ER,” it means

there is some type of error with the pan motor. If there are multiple errors during the

start-up process they will all flash in the display. For example: if the fixtures has errors on

channel 1, channel 3, and channel 5 all at the same time, you will see the error message

“Pan-Er”, “Tilt-Er,” and ”Color-Er” flash repeated 5 times.

If an error does occur during the initial start-up procedure the fixture will self-generate a

second reset signal and try to realign all the motors and correct the error, if the error

persist after a second attempt a third attempt will be made.

If after a third attempt all the errors have not been corrected the fixture will make the

following determinations: 1) 3 or more errors - The fixture cannot function properly with

three or more errors therefore the fixture will place itself in a stand-by mode until

subsequent repairs can be made. 2) Less than 3 errors - The fixture has less than 3

errors, therefore most other functions will work properly. The fixture will attempt to

operate normally until the errors can be correct by a technician. The errors in question will

remain flashing in the display as a reminder of internal errors.

Pan Movement error:

The yoke is not located in the default position after start-up or after a reset command.

This message will appear after a fixture reset if the pan-yoke’s magnetic-indexing circuit

malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure

(defective motor or a defective motor IC drive on the main PCB).

Tilt Movement error:

The head is not located in the default tilt position after start-up or after a reset command.

This message will appear after a fixture reset if the tilt magnetic-indexing circuit

malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure

(defective motor or a defective motor IC drive on the main PCB).

Color-wheel error:

The color wheel is not located in the default position after start-up or after a reset

command. This message will appear after a fixture reset if the color wheel’s
