Service and display messages
The MAC Viper Profile gives service and maintenance information by displaying a large 3- or 4-character
short code and a smaller full-text message in the fixture’s display. The short code is visible at a distance,
allowing easier reading with the fixture still in the rig, for example, while the full-text message gives more
detailed information.
Warning messages
Warning messages indicate that either:
• problems might appear in the future if no action is taken, or
• the user needs to pay special attention to a function or procedure when working with the fixture.
The MAC Viper Profile communicates warnings as follows:
• Warning codes are shown continuously in the display and disappear when the user reacts to the warning.
• If more than one warning is detected, all warnings are displayed in sequence.
• If the display is inactive, the fixture’s status LED (see Figure 4 on page 11) flashes orange to indicate that
there is a warning. Activating the display will show the warning.
The possible warning messages are listed in Table 3 below
