15. 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 f orm of “XXer” were as XX will
represent a function number. For example, when the display shows “02Er,” it means there is
some type of error with the channel 2 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 2, and channel 5 all at the same time, you will see the error message “01Er”, “02Er,”
and ”05Er” 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 e rrors - The fixture h as 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 (se nsor 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 m agnet m issing) or the
stepping-motor is defective (or its driving IC on the main PCB). The TILT- movement is not
