Code 5432: “cold mirror fan - voltage too low” (Error)

Situation

Solution

Malfunction Fan Control board or SMPS board.

Measure on the Signal Backplane the +24V voltage on pin 9, 10, 11 or 12 of the connector of the black wire unit which comes from the SMPS board. See image.

If the measured voltage is about 24V then replace the Fan Control board. See "Removing a board in the card cage". Otherwise replace the SMPS board. See"Replacement of the Switched Mode Power Supply".

Short circuit or bad connection.

  1. Check the Signal Backplane for bad connections. Ensure that all wire units are well connected.

    (Note that the +24V supply is generated on the SMPS board and enters the Fan Control board and Cinema Control board via the Signal Backplane)

  2. Check the wiring of the Anode fan for short circuits.

  3. Check the wiring of the Cathode fan for short circuits.

Damaged insulation of the brown/red wire unit (reference 2 image "Cold mirror fan connection") of the cold mirror fan (reference 1 image "Cold mirror fan connection").

Remove the top cover of the projector, pull out the top dust filter to access the fan connection. Check the insulation of the wire unit.

  1. Repair the insulation of the wire unit using shrink sleeve.

  2. If the wire unit of the fan is not repairable, replace the Cold Mirror fan. See "Removal of the cold mirror assembly".

Malfunction Signal Backplane (bad connection)

Replace the Signal Backplane. See "Replacement of the signal back plane".
