Local fault reporting

If a discrepancy in the normal operating parameters is registered, the Matrix device
will display a red LED for the faulty channel and the Processor will report the
potential fault.
The CHECK light illuminates if a fault is recorded, the STATUS display changes from
OK to CHECK, and any circuit errors are reported on the screen above the channel
number affected as follows:
L1: 245V-38A
DA-X
L2: 247V-14A
DB-X
L3: 242V-20A
RACK : 05 X
SET-DMX
code 'l' =
no load (control present but no output)
code 's' =
short circuit
code 't '=
over temperature
code 'o' =
overload (e.g. 4kW plugged into a 2kW dimmer)
code 'c' =
no control (e.g. load current with no control signal)
code 'v' =
voltage out of range (either over or under voltage)
code 'd' =
fault has persisted beyond a default auto-reset time, and the dimmer
has been disabled awaiting manual intervention and reset.
The channel display indicators give the last recorded fault condition. If the fault is a
self-resetting fault, or if the dimmer is automatically disabled, the reason for the
problem may not be obvious from the channel display. However, a log of the errors is
shown in detail through DimSTAT, and a summary of the history is shown using the
dimmer's LCD screen as follows:
