What to do

LErr
Lamp error

... the lamp doesn’t ignite within 2 minutes after having 
received the ‘Lamp ON’ instruction from the controller. 
Likely reasons are a missing or defective lamp, or 
insufficient mains voltage. The lamp error will not 
affect the performance of the PAL.

Check the lamp and check that the mains set-
ting of the fixture matches the mains supply.

ErAb
A/B-section error

...the A and B-section PCBs do not communicate cor-
rectly with the receiver module.

Check fuses on PCBs and that the ribbon cable 
which connects the three PCBs is connected 
properly.

ErrA
A-section error

... the A-section PCB does not communicate correctly 
with the receiver module.

Check fuses on A-section PCB and the that rib-
bon cable which connects the three PCBs is 
connected properly.

ErrB
B-section error

... the B-section PCB does not communicate correctly 
with the receiver module.

Check fuses on B-section PCB and that the rib-
bon cable which connects the three PCBs is 
connected properly.

ShEr
Short error

... the PAL “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 the 
lamp-power feedback circuit has failed. You can still 
use the PAL 1200 but may not be able to remotely 
switch off the lamp.

Contact your Martin dealer for assistance. 

Hot
Hot lamp

... you attempt to ignite the lamp within 4 minutes after 
having switched it off. The PAL

 will store the “Lamp 

ON” instruction and ignite the lamp once the 4 minute 
period has expired.

Wait until the lamp strikes.

TErr
Time keeper error

...there is a failure in the time keeper circuit (internal 
clock). This error will not affect the performance or the 
hour-counter for lamp and fixture usage.

Consult qualified Martin service personnel.
