Page 21: Error And Information Messages
This message appears if you try to switch on the lamp within 5 minutes after having switched it off (the lamp is too hot). The message will appear on the display if the lamp doesn't ignite within 28 seconds. The MH-860 will store this information and automatically ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes period has expired. - Page 22 The ignition of the lamp is seven times unsuccessful (the HEAt message appeared six times before), and the display shows "LAEr", meaning that the lamp could be damaged or even missed, the fixture is overheating (this can occur if the ambient temperature is 45° C or more) or there could be a failure on the ignitor or ballast.
