When the fixture is powered ON, it automatically enters a reset/test program, which
brings all the motors to a home position before it is ready. The display may show "Err
channel is XX" if there are problems with one or more channels. "XX" stands for
channel 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 13, which have testing sensors for positioning. For example,
when the display shows "Err channel is PAN", it means there is an error in channel 1. If
there are errors on channel 1, channel 3, channel 6 at the same time, you may see
the error messages, "Err channel is PAN", "Err channel is TILT", "Err channel is RED
LED", flash 2 times, and then the fixture will go through a second reset/test program.
If the error messages remain after performing 2 reset/tests, only the channels that
have errors will not work properly, all other channels will work normally. If after the
third reset/test program all the errors have not been resolved, the fixture cannot
function properly and therefore will place itself in a stand-by mode until repairs are
made.
PAN - Error (PAN Yoke Movement Error)
This message will appear after completing the motor reset if the PAN movement is
not located in the default position after the reset. This error can happen if the yoke's
magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the
stepper-motor or its driving IC on the main PCB is defective or fails.
TILT- Error (TILT Head Movement Error)
This message will appear after completing the motor reset if the TILT movement is not
located in the default position after the reset. This error can happen if the head's
magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the
stepping-motor or its driving IC on the main PCB is defective or fails.
