P18
7. Service
7.1 Service menu
RESET FIXTURE
Upon the “Reset” command, P18 will initialise to its initial values. It is the same procedure as after
switching on the P18. If an error message appears in the display, this could be the first step to
correct it.
ERROR LIST
The P18 stores all occurring errors internally. An error message can have a harmless cause.
If you experience frequent error messages, please contact your dealer or the JB-Lighting service
department. All error messages are displayed with the respective frequency and can be deleted.
FUNCTION TEST
This function allows you to test all functions of the P18 without using a light mixer. The pan/tilt
reset is deactivated in the process.
DMX TEST
This menu item is used to test the DMX input. Use the function keys to select the DMX channel
to be tested. The display shows the incoming value, at the same time the P18 reacts accordingly.
INIT PAN TILT
The P18 is calibrated in the pan/tilt position at the factory. If it loses this calibration, i.e. it
strikes against the stop or no longer finds its position, it can be re-initialised using this function.
This process takes about 3-4 minutes and ends with a reset of the spotlight.
DISPLAY CONTRAST
The contrast of the LCD display may change when the temperature is too high. In this menu item
the contrast can be adjusted.
Animation effects can be created via this channel in connection with the focus. Depending
on the intensity, the projection can be made to shake more or less. This effect can be dimmed
or switched.
6.5 Sparkle effect, sparkle speed
A spotlight reset can also be triggered.
DMX 240-247
Reset (after 2 sec.).
After the Cooling Mode, Camera Mode and Reset commands, this channel must be reset to its
original value. See channel assignment on page 20.
With the aid of the two channels Autofocus Distance and Autofocus Adjustment, the focus can
be automatically readjusted over the entire zoom range from software version 1.5

FINE ADJUST
To access the “Fine Adjust” menu area, press and hold the “ENTER” key and then confirm
by pressing the “ESC” key opposite.
Focus:
The focus is calibrated at the factory to ensure that all spotlights are focused at the same distance
with the same zoom. If a spotlight loses this calibration or if parts have to be changed for repair,
the focus can be readjusted after repair. For further details please contact your dealer or JB-
Lighting service department.
