Error Codes - Elation Platinum Beam 5R Extreme User Manual

E R R O R C O D E S
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 "0Er" it means there is some type of error with the Pan 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, 2, and 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 persists 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:
• 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.
• 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.
PAN Movement Er
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's
magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is
a motor failure (defective motor or a defective motor IC drive on the main PCB). This
error may also be displayed if the head/yoke was blocked during a reset function.
TILT Movement Er
This message will appear after a fixture reset if the tilt's magnetic-indexing circuit
malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a motor failure (defective
motor or defective motor IC drive on main PCB). This error may also be displayed if
the head was blocked during a reset function.
