We are receiving a Lamp Timeout Error on one of our X Spot Xtremes. We have purchased a new lamp and are still getting the error. The fixture is making no noise to indicate it is trying to strike the lamp. Any ideas?
We tried that. We even swapped the relay. Then bypassed the relay altogether. We have metered every fuse. Called High End and swapped then pan card. We are out of ideas. We will buy a new Lamp Housing and swap that to see if maybe that's the culprit.
Can you hear the relay click when the lamp interlock is triggered? Do you get 400v on the input side of the ignitor? (IMPORTANT! Do NOT meter the output side of the ignitor!) If not check the output side of the relay, Have you swapped out the gray lamp control wire that comes from the pan board? Perhaps that harness is bad?
Thanks Josh, I'm teching this fixture with Terrii and we got the LPS swapped with a borrowed known good one. It sparked right up. You wouldn't happen to know any cheaper place to pick up an LPS other than LightParts.com would you?
Lightparts, Could be anywhere from $200-600ish, any more than that and you might as well buy a new one. Occasionally they will have used ones available, but they are few and far between.
Yup, second to Lightparts . . . Not sure on the X-Spot LPS, but I know that they have done a couple of Studio Color supply repairs for me for $90 or so each. It all depends on how bad the failure is . . . Since you don't notice any burned smells, smoke, etc. hopefully yours isn't too bad, and won't be that much $$$.
HES could also likely do the repair, but I have had very good luck with Lightparts myself . . .
