ERROR MESSAGE
When you turn on LXE700 Spot, it will reset first. The display may show “XXer” while there are problems with
one or more channels. “XX” stands for channel 1,2,3 and so on.
For example, when the display shows “01Er”, it means there is some error in channel1 (the color wheel. If there
are errors on channel 1, channel 2, channel 5 at the same time, you may see the error message “01Er”,
“02Er”,”05Er” flash repeatedly for 5 times, and then LXE 700 Spot will generate a second reset signal, This
reset with literally reset all the stepper motors. Usually after the second reset the error messages disappear
and the address number is displayed. Do not concern yourself if after the second reset that the address appear,
it is perfectly alright that the first reset fails. It is not a sign of a problem.
If the error message remains after performing reset after the second time, then the functions with the error will
not work but all other channels will more and the LXE 700 Spot will display its address number. The exception
to this rule is if the fixture has 3 errors or more. If this is the case then the fixture will not function until the
problem is sorted.
As an example of what to look for with an error message, here is the fault repair paradigm for
01Er:
01Er:
(Color-wheel 1 error) This message will appear after the reset of LXE 700 Spot if the magnetic-indexing circuit
malfunctions. This can mean a sensor failed or the magnet is missing or the color wheel stepping-motor is
defective or the drive circuit on the main circuit card for the motor is defective or the one (or more) wires
coming from the motor or sensor down to the circuit card is broken.
If any of the above happens then the color wheel will not be located in the default position after the reset.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
1) All screws, clamps etc. used to install LXE 700 Spot have to be tight and must not be corroded. Check them
regularly because, remember, LXE 700 Spot moves and so it will have an effect on whatever you are using to
hang the fixture.
2) There must not be any deformations on LXE 700 Spot’s housing and internal parts. Also check the points
where LXE 700 Spot is installed including such things as ceiling mounting points, truss, half couplers, C
clamps, safety cables and so on.
1) Mechanical moving parts must not show any traces of wearing and must rotate evenly.
2) The power input cable must not show any damage or material fatigue.
We recommend a frequent cleaning of the device. Please use a moist, lint- free cloth. Never use alcohol or
solvents. Pay particular attention to all the fans and their vents. That is where dust and debris can accumulate.
Accumulation of dust here can have a devastating effect on LXE 700 Spot. You must remove it regularly.
Failure to do so will cause overheating inside LXE 700 Spot. Overheating causes premature failure of the lamp
and other critical components. Do not use a air hose to clean the fans and vents. All you will do is bow the dust
right into the fixture and all over the dicroic colors and gobos.
There are no serviceable parts inside LXE700 Spot except for the lamp. Please refer to the
instructions under “Installation instructions” to change lamp.
Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local dealer.
