Help, 575 Spot and Color sensors

We have a few 575 Studio Spot and Colors that are having some type of sensor issues. Syptom; fixtures power on and home but do not strike. Display reads a 'COOL' message, however, the fixtures are not hot because they were never on. What parts do I need, what do the sensors look like, where are they located with in the fixtures? ..Thanks Much!.. and sorry, Im new to this as you can probably tell, its just kind of up to me right now to deal with.

  • Just another thing to check,
    I know you have probably tried this, Have you tried a new lamp, or better yet, a lamp that you know works in another fixture?

    If the lamps are OK, then,
    When the lamp tries to strike, does the Lamp power supply make any noise?
    It should be making a clicking noise,
    If it does, then check the ignitor card, it also should be making a clicking noise while the lamp is trying to strike..
    If both of them are not clicking the problem could lie with the LPS..
    OR as people have mentioned it still could be a problem with the logic card.
    But if the LPS is clicking but the ignitor is not, the problem is probably in the ignitor card.

    If there is no clicking from the ignitior or LPS, I know you already replaced the Lamp power supply, but just for kicks, I would meter out the 2 fuses on the board as well just in case..

    And of course I am sure you have double checked the cable that runs between the logic card and the LPS is still plugged in and is in good shape.

    And to be honest, I may be crazy but I swear I have seen my studio 575's making a COOL message for no reason on more than a few occaisions,
    kinda like fan errors on xpot.

    Good luck,
    Let me know if I can be any more help.
