Custom settings
The custom configuration function allows you to save and recall three sets of fixture settings. The savable settings are
DMX mode, pan/tilt speed, pan/tilt inverse and swap, DMX lamp off and reset, display settings, shortcuts, studio
mode, automatic lamp on, effects feedback, tracking algorithm, and tracking samples.
Readouts
Note: The MP-2 Uploader provides commands to display the time, temperature, and version readouts on the fixture
control panel.
Time
INFO/TIME provides readouts of fixture hours (HRS), lamp hours (L HR), and lamp strikes (L ST). Under
each item is a resettable (
RSET) increment counter and a non-resettable counter for total accumulated hours/strikes
since fabrication (
TOTL). To reset an increment counter, display it and then press [Up] until it reads 0. (This may also
be done remotely using the MP-2 Uploader.)
Temperature
INFO/TEMP provides readouts of the head and base temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Firmware version
INFO/VER displays the version number of the installed firmware. The firmware version is also displayed briefly at
startup.
DMX
The DMXL menu shows the DMX start code (STCO) and DMX values received for each effect.
Service messages
The Service LED on the control panel lights under conditions that require fixture service, and there is a message
describing the service required. To display the message, select
SMSG in the main menu. This item is available only
when the LED is lit. There are two service messages.
Replace lamp is displayed when the lamp counter exceeds 750 hours, which is the rated average life for the
HMI 1200 W/S lamp. The maximum service life is 125% of the average life, or 940 hours.
Fixture overheating is displayed when the head temperature exceeds 120° C (248° F). Overheating is
likely due to dirty air filters, fans, or air vents; incorrect power supply settings, or a defective fan.
Service utilities
Important! Enter must be held for several seconds to access the utilities menu.
Test sequences
TSEQ provides a general test of all effects that can be run without a controller. UTIL/PCBt provides routines
for circuit board testing that are for service use only.
Feedback toggles
An on-the-fly position correction system monitors the color wheel, gobo wheels, gobos, rotating effects, and effect
wheel. If a position error is detected, the shutter closes while the effect resets. This feature can be disabled by turning
effects feedback (
UTIL/EFFb) off.
