"Shut xxx"  -  Color changer reports a SHUTDOWN condition (will not respond

         to position commands because the voltage dropped below 
        15 VDC).

"Drop xxx"  -  Color changer is disconnected and there is a loss of
                      communication - it previously reported a status but is no longer
                       doing so. 

"Motr xxx"  -  The color changer’s motor cannot move the gel string.

"ChErr xxx"  -  There is a channel assignment problem with the color changer

 set to start on channel xxx.  For example, some of the multiple
 channels used by the color changer fall past the last channel
 available on the power supply.

"Overload"  -  This is displayed when the power supply has not yet reached its

 current limit, a unit "checks in"  which has a current requirement
 at least 2 times that of a Coloram and the resulting total current
 load on the power supply is over the power supply’s limit.  This
 last unit will remain checked in.  However, no more units will be
 allowed to check in.

It is important to note that if the power supply is at its current limit 
(but not exceeded), it will not "check in" any other units and the
 "Overload" message will not be displayed.  

"DMX Chan"  -  This is displayed if the DMX source is sending less than 512

   channels and the last DMX channel sent is less than the last
   DMX channel in the power supply channel range.

"Fan Chan"  -  This is similar to the "DMX Chan" explaination above but

 applies to the fan DMX channel or fan DMX channel block.

To read the above "alert messages", do the following:

1. When *ALERT* is being displayed, press    /Enter .  Then the number of
     alert messages will be displayed.
2. As an example:   "2 ALERTS" indicates there are 2 problems (alerts).
3. Press "

"  button to get more information on the alerts.

4. As an example: "Pstn 001" indicates the head unit #1 has a position error.
5. Press    /Enter    to get information on other alerts.
6. Viewing the alerts in this mannel also "clears them" unless the problem
     currently exists.
