Filter Life Out error?

So, one of my DL2's
Suddenly started throwing a Filter Life Out error.
The fixture does'nt have very many hours on them, 134 Lamp hours, and 257 fixture hours.
I haven't run it in heavy haze enviroments.
Also the fans seem to be running a bit faster than normal.
However it is not causing any problems, the projector stays struck, and the fixture seems to work fine.
So any ideas on what is causing this?

Also the Display doesn't seem to turn on when a error comes up.
It seems to me that when a error happens, the display should come back on.

The other problem I have been having, is the iris not closing all the way, it tends to stay a tiny bit open. The fixture seems to be having this problem more often in this version of software than in older versions. But I can't really be 100% on that.

I am running software version 1.2.0.777

Thanks!

  • Josh,

    Thanks for the extra info concerning the iris. We actually were able to track down the problem today in our office, and have implemented code to fix the problem. After some testing here in the office, the fix should be released as a BETA version with fixes for a few other issues that have come up.

    As far as your one unit that never homes with the iris correct, it sounds like you might possibly have a misaligned iris. I would wait for our software fix for the iris to come out, and see if this is still an issue. If it is, I can walk you through realigning the iris.

    Thanks again.
