If the auto lamp on function is set to 

off

, then the lamp will stay off until 

the fixture receives a lamp on signal from the controller or until the lamp is 
turned on manually through the menu operation. 

 

In the fixture head there is a photoreceptor that is used to detect the 
presence or absence of light. The purpose of this light sensor is to prevent 
the ignitor from damaging the lamp circuit by continually trying to ignite the 
lamp if it is already on or if the lamp is unable to turn on. The lamp light 
sensor can be turned off in the event that the sensor is non-functional so 
that the fixture may be used in emergency situations.  
 

Note: If the 

En.Sn.

 function has been turned 

Off

 then the heat 

error message will only appear if the lamp has been turned off from 
the controller or the menu display and turned back on within five 
minutes. It will not automatically detect a lamp off condition should 
the lamp extinguish by itself. 
 

To turn the lamp light sensor off: 
 

1. Select the 

LA.Au

 

option from the 

SPEC

 

function of the display 

(see 

SPEC

 

above).

 button twice to back out of the special 

functions mode. 
 

Caution: In the event that the 

En.Sn. 

function has been turned 

off 

and the lamp extinguishes by itself, then the software will not 
prevent the ignition of the lamp within the five minute window or if 
the lamp fails to ignite within 28 seconds of attempting to turn it on. 
Damage may occur from the high voltage ignition should the fixture 
receive repeated lamp on commands.
