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 function number.
For example, when the display shows “ 0Er ” 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 , 2 , and 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 persists 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:
• 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.
• 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.
