"Shut xxx" - Color changer reports a SHUTDOWN condition (will not respond to position commands because the voltage dropped below
15 VDC).
"Drop xxx" - Color changer is disconnected and there is a loss of communication - it previously reported a status but is no longer doing so.
"Motr xxx" - The color changer’s motor cannot move the gel string.
"ChErr xxx" - There is a channel assignment problem with the color changer set to start on channel xxx. For example, some of the multiple channels used by the color changer fall past the last channel available on the power supply.
"Overload" - This is displayed when the power supply has not yet reached its current limit, a unit "checks in" which has a current requirement at least 2 times that of a Coloram and the resulting total current load on the power supply is over the power supply’s limit. This last unit will remain checked in. However, no more units will be allowed to check in.
It is important to note that if the power supply is at its current limit (but not exceeded), it will not "check in" any other units and the "Overload" message will not be displayed.
"DMX Chan" - This is displayed if the DMX source is sending less than 512 channels and the last DMX channel sent is less than the last DMX channel in the power supply channel range.
"Fan Chan" - This is similar to the "DMX Chan" explaination above but applies to the fan DMX channel or fan DMX channel block.
