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 “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.

ERROR CODE| DESCRIPTION

PAN Er

| The PAN movement is not located in the default position after the reset. This message will appear after a fixture reset if the 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 Er

|

The TILT movement is not located in the default position after the reset. This message will appear after a fixture reset if the 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.

Color Wheel Er

|

The Color Wheel is not located in the default position after the reset.

This message will appear after the reset of the fixture reset if the magnetic- indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure (defective motor or defective motor IC drive on main PCB).

Gobo Wheel 1 Er

|

The Gobo Wheel 1 movement is not located in the default position after the reset. This message will appear after a fixture reset if the

magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure (defective motor or defective motor IC drive on main PCB).

Gobo Rot.1 Er

|

The Gobo Rot.1 movement is not located in the default position after the reset. This message will appear after a fixture reset if the gobo wheel’s magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure (defective motor or defective motor IC drive on main PCB).

Gobo Wheel 2 Er

|

The Gobo Wheel 2 movement is not located in the default position after the reset. This message will appear after a fixture reset if the

magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure (defective motor or defective motor IC drive on main PCB).

Focus Er

|

The Focus movement is not located in the default position after the reset. This message will appear after the reset of the fixture reset if the magnetic- indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure (defective motor or defective motor IC drive on main PCB).

Iris Er

|

The Iris movement is not located in the default position after the reset. This message will appear after the reset of the fixture reset if the magnetic- indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure (defective motor or defective motor IC drive on main PCB).

Zoom Er

|

The Zoom movement is not located in the default position after the reset. This message will appear after the reset of the fixture reset if the magnetic- indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure (defective motor or defective motor IC drive on main PCB).

---|---

Animation Er

|

The Animation movement is not located in the default position after the reset. This message will appear after the reset of the fixture reset if the magnetic- indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure (defective motor or defective motor IC drive on main PCB).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION
Disconnect power before cleaning or maintenance.

CLEANING
Frequent cleaning is recommended to insure proper function, optimized light output, and an extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics.

Clean the external lens surface at least every 20 days with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation.
Never use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia based cleaners.

MAINTENANCE
Regular inspections are recommended to insure proper function and extended life.
There are no user serviceable parts inside this fixture, please refer all other service issues to an authorized Elation service technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local Elation dealer.

Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:

A detailed electric check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.
Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Lose screws may fall out during normal operation resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.
Check for any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware and rigging points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust to enter into the fixture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the fixture to fall and seriously injure a person(s).
Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or sediments. Never remove the ground prong from the power cable.
