luminaire from a DMX controller
Display
When the luminaire is powered on, the control panel displays information about the
luminaire in two lists that it switches between approximately every 5 seconds:
• The
F ix t u r e s t a tu s
list displays information about luminaire temperature and fan
speed in RPM (revolutions per minute)
• The
La m p s t a tu s
list displays a list of resettable counters that indicate hours of lamp
use, number of times the lamp has been struck (powered on) and number of times the
luminaire has been powered on.
Control panel
The display and control buttons are protected by a clear cover that is secured with Allen
screws. Remove the cover for access to the control buttons and replace it when access is
no longer required.
Use the control panel buttons as follows:
• Use the Menu button to open the menus or to navigate one level higher up in the menu
structure.
• Use the Enter button to open a sub-menu, confirm a command or set a value.
• Use the Up and Down buttons to move up and down a list, toggle between options or
increase and decrease a value.
By default, the display backlight goes out automatically 2 minutes after the lamp is turned
on. The backlight returns to its preset intensity level as soon as a control button is
pressed, or in the event of an error or warning message.
A backlight can be switched on, making the display easy to read in the dark, via the
Se t
b a c kl i g h t l e v el
command in the
P e r s on a l it y
menu. The brightness of the display
can be adjusted from 100 (maximum) to zero (off).
See " 9.3: Onboard control panel menus" on page 74 for a complete overview of the
options available in the onboard control panel.

In the event of a problem, the Exterior 1200 Wash will show a message in the display
indicating the type of problem that has occurred.

When power is applied, cooling fans run at full speed for a few seconds to clear any dust
that has accumulated in the heat exchanger. After this, fan speed is regulated
thermostatically to maintain an even temperature in the luminaire. When the lamp is
switched off without cutting power to the luminaire, fans remain active.

If the ambient temperature is above 30° C (86° F) or if the luminaire will be exposed to
strong sunlight, leave the luminaire powered on – but with the lamp powered off – when
not in use. This will keep the cooling system running and control the luminaire’s internal
temperature.
