17. ERROR CODES:

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 “XX er” were as XX will represent the motor function with an error. For example, when the display shows “Tilt Er,” it means there is some type of error with the tilt 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 with the pan, tilt, and shutter motors all at the same time, you will see the error message “Pan Er,” “Tilt Er,” and ”Shutter 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 errors, 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 Er

(PAN-yoke movement error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture if the yoke’s magnetic-indexing circuit malfunction (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (or its driving IC on the main PCB). The PAN- movement is not located in the default position after the reset.

Tilt Er

(TILT-head movement error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture if the head’s magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (or its driving IC on the main PCB). The TILT- movement is not
