6. Service

6.1 Service menu

RESET FIXTURE

This menu offers the command to reset the Sparx10 and can be used as a first remedy if an error
occurs.

ERROR LIST

The ERROR LIST command displays a list of any errors detected. An error can simply be a
harmless and isolated incident, but if repeated errors occur, the Sparx10 may require service or
repair.

FUNCTION TEST

This menu provides a general test of all effects. It allows testing the Sparx10 without controller.
The re-positioning of pan/tilt is disabled.

DMX TEST

This menu view the DMX values received on each channel. If the Sparx10 does not behave as
expected, reading the DMX values can help to troubleshoot.

INIT PAN TILT

The INIT PAN TILT feature reinitializes pan and tilt relative to their end stops. Use this feature if
pan and tilt appear to have lost the calibration, that means if the pan or tilt beat the reset point
or loose the find back position or if you have changed the pan/tilt pcb. This process will take
approx. 10 minutes and finishes with a reset.

DISPLAY CONTRAST

During a heating treatment the contrast of the LCD display can vary. The setting of the contrast
can be changed in this menu.

FINE ADJUST

White balance:
The white balance is done by the manufacturer and must be adjusted only in individual special
cases. The intensity of the LEDs might vary due to the process of manufacturing. In generally
LED manufacturer select their products to so-called binning. All Sparx10 are being adjusted to a
reference product before they will be delivered, to make sure that there are no variations.
In order to perform a white balance the brightness of the light sources of red, green, blue and
white can be adjusted individually.
Therefore connect a DMX console to the Sparx10 and turn it on. Adjust the Sparx10 to make in
a distance of about 8 meters from the wall a white dot with a diameter of about 2 meters. The
RGBW channels must be set to DMX 255 each! Now select at Sparx10 the menu item SERVICE
-> FINE ADJUST. Enter the FINE ADJUST menu by pressing „ENTER“ (keep pressed) and press
„ESC“ additionally. In the following menu item SKAL RED, SKAL GREEN, SKAL BLUE and SKAL
WHITE the intensity of red, green, blue and white can be adjusted. Change the value by means
of keys „UP“ and „DOWN“. The light beam will be altered according to the received input. Pay at-
tention, that one color value stays at 100%. Otherwise the brightness of the unit will be reduced.
The intensity of the fixture can be adjusted from 0% -100% with SKAL ALL. There is no pan & tilt
readjustment during this process.
Setting the fixture back to factory defaults will not effect the white balance (chapter 4.2). The fine ad-
just always influences the function color wheel emulation and RGBW colour mixing only if selected
at control channel 5. So for instance if one of the RGBW channels has been reduced significantly the
colors of the color wheel emulation will appear different compared to standard factory settings.

LED TEST

The Sparx10 check LED by LED on functionality. If a LED non working a error code will be dis-
played with the position of the LED and the kind of failure. Failure could be a short or open of the
LED, or the driver of the LED.
