Note: The channel is under control as soon as it is activated (square brackets) and the rotary
encoder used to adjust the channel.
Local fault reporting
If a discrepancy in the normal operating parameters is registered, the Matrix device
will display a red LED for the faulty channel and the Processor will report the
potential fault.
The CHECK light illuminates if a fault is recorded, the STATUS display changes from
OK to CHECK, and any circuit errors are reported on the screen above the channel
number affected as follows:
L1: 245V-38A DA-X UA-X OUTPUTS. _ o_ |||
L2: 247V-14A DB-X UB-X STATUS: CHECK
L3: 242V-20A RACK : 05 X DEVICE: 01X
SET-DMX PRESETS CONFIG INSTALL INFO
code ‘l’ = no load (control present but no output)
code ‘s’ = short circuit
code ‘t ‘= over temperature
code ‘o’ = overload (e.g. 4kW plugged into a 2kW dimmer)
code ‘c’ = no control (e.g. load current with no control signal)
code ‘v’ = voltage out of range (either over or under voltage)
code ‘d’ = fault has persisted beyond a default auto-reset time, and the dimmer
has been disabled awaiting manual intervention and reset.
The channel display indicators give the last recorded fault condition. If the fault is a
self-resetting fault, or if the dimmer is automatically disabled, the reason for the
problem may not be obvious from the channel display. However, a log of the errors is
shown in detail through DimSTAT, and a summary of the history is shown using the
dimmer’s LCD screen as follows:
To check fault history
1. Select INFO from the home screen and the screen shows:
Note: This screen never requires a password, and if no faults are reported, the screen
momentarily shows the software version, nominal voltage and maximum current settings. Up to
1024 lines of fault error log are available at any time.
