Error Codes - Elation Design LED 36MH User Manual

Design LED 36MH™

11. ERROR CODES:

When power is applied, the unit will automatically enter a "reset/test" mode. This mode brings
all the internal motors to a home position. If there is an internal problem with one or more of
the motors an error code will flash in the display in the form of "XXer" were as XX will
represent a function number. For example, when the display shows "02Er," it means there is
some type of error with the channel 2 motor. If there are multiple errors during the start-up
process they will all flash in the display. For example: if the fixtures has errors on channel 1,
channel 2, and channel 5 all at the same time, you will see the error message "01Er", "02Er,"
and "05Er" flash repeated 5 times.
If an error does occur during the initial start-up procedure the fixture will self-generate a
second reset signal and try to realign all the motors and correct the errors, if the error persist
after a second attempt a third attempt will be made.
If after a third attempt all the errors have not been corrected the fixture will make the following
determinations: 1) 3 or more errors - The fixture cannot function properly with three or more
errors therefore the fixture will place itself in a stand-by mode until subsequent repairs can be
made. 2) Less than 3 errors - The fixture has less than 3 errors, therefore most other
functions will work properly. The fixture will attempt to operate normally until the errors can be
correct by a technician. The errors in question will remain flashing in the display as a reminder
of internal errors.
01Er – PAN movement error:
The yoke is not located in the default position after start-up or after a reset command. This
message will appear after a fixture reset if the pan-yoke's magnetic-indexing circuit
malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure (defective
motor or a defective motor IC drive on the main PCB).
03Er – TILT movement error:
The head is not located in the default tilt position after start-up or after a reset command. This
message will appear after a fixture reset if the tilt magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions
