use the [Up] and [Down] keys in order to adjust their right value from 0 to 255. Then press [Enter]
to confirm or [Mode] to cancel and return to the menu. This can be repeated for each calibration
parameter if it is required. When the calibration is finished, it is necessary to use the "ArES"
function in order to write the calibration values to the memory (EPROM) and to make a reset in
order to check the newly adjusted positions of the colour, gobo and effect wheels. When the reset
of the fixture is finished, the display will show the "FCAL" message. Press [Enter] to repeat the
calibration or [Mode] to return to the "AdJ" menu.
2. Calibration via the external controller
Press [Enter] and the [Up] and [Down] keys in order to display the following messages: "Colo,
EFEC, rGob, Grot" - calibration parameters. Select one of them and press [Enter]. Now you can
calibrate the colour, gobo and effect wheel by your controller. The DMX calibration protocol is
described in the table mentioned below.

After having calibrated required functions press [Enter] to confirm (or [Mode] to cancel and return to
the menu without reset by the "ArES" function) and use the "ArES" function in order to write the
calibration values to the memory (EEPROM) and to make a reset in order to check the new adjusted
positions of the colour, effect and rot. gobo wheels and gobo indexing.
8. Error and information messages
This message appears if you try to switch on the lamp within 5 minutes after
having switched it off (the lamp is too hot). The message will appear on the
display if the lamp doesn't ignite within 28 seconds. The SPICA 250M will store
this information and automatically ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes
period has expired.
The ignition of the lamp is seven times unsuccessful (the HEAt message
appeared six times before), and the display shows "LAEr", meaning that the
lamp could be damaged or even missed, the fixture is overheating (this can
occur if the ambient temperature is 45° C or more) or there could be a failure on
the ignitor or ballast. Please place or replace the lamp, check the ambient
temperature or contact your dealer if the situation was not caused by the lamp.
This message informs you that the main PCB does not communicate correctly
with the Control Board.
