120PC Q display and LED indicators provide information to the user to aid
in unit operation and to advise when certain conditions exist. The following is a
collective listing of messages and their meanings.
1.
"XXXX."
A flashing decimal point to the right of the four numbers on the display advises the user
that the unit is in Lamp Hour Mode. See
Section 11.1
, Viewing the Accumulated Lamp
Hours.
2.
"XXX.X"
A decimal point to the left of the furthest right digit of the four digits on the display
indicates the unit is in Timer Mode. The number shown will indicate the exposure time in
seconds and tenth of seconds. See
Section 10
, Timed Exposures.
3.
" XXX "
Three digits on the display indicate unit is in Intensity Mode. The three digit number
shown will indicate the percent iris opening. See
Section 10
, Adjusting the Light Output.
4. "bulb"
The "bulb" message advises the user that the bulb has failed to ignite or extinguished
after striking.
If the bulb message appears immediately and is accompanied by an audible beeping,
this indicates that the lamp has not been installed correctly or that the wrong bulb type
has been installed. See
Section 6
, Installing the Lamp Module.
If the bulb message appears after about 25 seconds and is accompanied by an audible
beeping, this indicates that the lamp has failed to strike. It may be a result of the lamp
reaching end of life or that the lamp access cover is not secured properly in place. Press
the
START
/
STOP
button to clear the audible alarm. Power down the unit, remove the lamp
access panel and replace securely, tightening the fastening screw in place. Wait a few
minutes and turn power on to the unit. If it still does not strike, replace the lamp.
5. " old / bulb"
The “old” and then “bulb” message appear in alternating sequence for about 10 seconds
when power is first turned on to the unit if the accumulated lamp hours have exceeded
2500 hours. When this message occurs, it is recommended that the lamp be replaced
soon.
