ERROR MESSAGES

When you turn on the KHAMSIN, it will first perform an automatic reset. 
The display may show “Err channel is XX” indicating there is a problem 
with one or more of the channels. “XX” represents channel 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 
or 6, which contain the testing sensor for positioning. For example, the 
message, “Err channel is Pan movement”, indicates an error in channel 
1. If there is an error on channel 1 and channel 3 at the same time, the 
following error message may appear: “Err channel is Pan movement”, “Err 
channel is Tilt movement”. The system will flash twice, and the fixture will 
generate a second reset. If the error message persists after more than two 
resets, the channels showing errors will not work properly but the other 
channels will function normally. 

Please contact your authorized dealer or manufacturer for service and do 
not attempt to repair the luminaire yourself.

PAN- movement Er
(PAN-yoke movement error): This message will appear after the reset 
if the yoke’s magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (failed sensor or 
magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (also caused by its 
driving IC on the main PCB). The PAN- movement does not return to the 
default position after the reset.

TILT- movement Er
(TILT-head movement error): This message will appear after the reset 
if the head’s magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or 
magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (also caused by its 
driving IC on the main PCB). The TILT- movement does not return to the 
default position after the reset.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The care and maintenance of your KHAMSIN should be ensured by a 
qualified technician. Your KHAMSIN requires regular servicing. The 
frequency depends essentially on its operating conditions and environment. 
Intensive use in a dusty environment, or a lack of ventilation around the 
fixture, may disrupt operation, result in overheating and cause damage 
that is not covered by the warranty.

WARNING!

Disconnect from mains before servicing.

UPDATING THE LUMINAIRE

Ayrton is continually upgrading this product line. It is therefore possible 
that a new software version is available that will increase the unit’s 
capabilities. 

Updates are performed using Ayrton’s update box. Contact your dealer for 
more information.

To display the version of your device, go into the “Info” menu and select 
“Software version” (see options details under the “INFO” menu). It is 
advisable to use the same software version for multiple fixtures.

CLEANING

Your KHAMSIN requires cleaning at regular intervals. Be aware that 
accumulated dust and residue on the air vents, body and glass of the 
fixture may reduce efficiency and impair proper operation.

Before cleaning, disconnect the power cable from source.

Use compressed air to blow away dust particles accumulated on and 
between the cooling fins at the rear of the luminaire’s optical system.

Clean the glass of the fixture with a slightly damp soft cloth. When 
necessary, use a non-alcohol-based glass cleaner. Never use harsh 
solvents!

WARNING!

Never use alcohol or any chemical agent to clean the optical system

of an Ayrton product.

COMPLIANCE CHECK 

Your installation should be checked regularly by certified service center. 
In addition, the following should be checked once a year by a qualified 
technician:

 

• The fixture’s attachment system must be correctly installed and show 

no sign of corrosion.

 

• The fixture’s mounting bracket should not be distorted in any way or 

show any trace of corrosion.

 

• The safety cable should be attached at the appropriate spot.

 

• Mechanical parts should show no sign of wear.

 

• The electrical cables should show no sign of wear, cuts or splices.
