•
VOLTMETER

•
SWITCH
/
BREAKER
-
The breaker on the rear panel serves two purposes:
1
) It is a
power switch for the ballast
2)
It protects against excessive AC conditions (15A
or more for
Roadster
S+
12K/HD12K and Mirage HD12
, 20A or more for
Roadster
S+
16K/Mirage
S+
14K
, and 25A or more for
Roadster
S+
20K/HD18K/Mirage HD11/Mirage HD18
). If the projector is faulty or excessive
AC is detected, the breaker will “trip” to OFF in order to prevent damage. Try
moving the breaker ON again - if the breaker continues to trip OFF, this indicates
a major fault and the AC problem must be resolved. Possible causes might
include shorts, damage to lamp cables, or excessive AC.
NOTE:
This switch powers only the ballast—it does not power up the projector
or start the lamp. You must press
on the keypad.
Two Status Displays:
•
TWO-DIGIT STATUS/ERROR CODE WINDOW
-
This LED (light emitting diode)
display is adjacent to the built-in keypad. During normal operation, the “Power”
light is steady yellow and indicates “on”. When the status of the projector
changes, the LED displays a two-digit code number representing the projector’s
new status. In addition to the numeric readout, there are two decimal points in the
display: the right decimal point flashes when the projector
receives
a command,
and the left point flashes when the projector
sends
a command.
