Appears if...
Automatic protocol detection is enabled
and there is no control input.
... the lamp doesn't ignite within 10 min-
utes of receiving the 'Lamp ON' com-
mand.
...the EEPROM memory cannot be
read.
...a software upload is unsuccessful.
... there is no communication between
the control panel and motherboard.
This appears briefly when switching on
the fixture.
... the fixture detects the lamp is ON but
no 'Lamp ON' command has been
received. This can occur if the lamp

The fixture will store the 'Lamp ON'
instruction and strike the lamp once the
8 minutes period has elapsed.
...pan (FbEp), tilt (FbET) or both (FbER)
feedback circuits are malfunctioning.
...the pan or tilt indexing circuit is mal-
functioning.
...the magnetic-indexing circuit malfunc-
tions (e.g. sensor defective or magnet
missing).
