What to do

no control data.
•
Verify that the controller is
sending and the serial link is
properly connected.
LERR

.... the lamp doesn’t ignite within 10
minutes of receiving the ‘Lamp ON’

the mains setting of the fixture
matches the mains supply.

between control module and
motherboard is connected
properly.
ShER
(Short error)
... the fixture detects that the lamp is ON
but no ‘Lamp ON’ command has been
received. This can occur if the lamp
relays are stuck in the ON position or if
the lamp-power feedback circuit has
failed. You can still operate the fixture
but may not be able to remotely switch
off the lamp.
•
Contact Martin service
personnel for assistance.

feedback circuits are malfunctioning. It
will still be possible to operate the fixture,
though it goes into a “safe” mode where

its home position (losing step).
•
