Code 5231: “lens focus position - requested target not reached” (Warning)

Situation

Solution

The activated lens file does not correspond with the lens mounted on the projector.

Activate a lens file which does correspond with the mounted lens or mount an other lens which correspond with the lens file you want to activate.

Corrupt lens file.

Delete the lens file and program correct lens type into communicator under Advanced/lens parameters and recreate a new lens file. Tip: perform a “Lens Homing” before creating a new lens file. Otherwise, if the lens is removed the existing lens file becomes useless. Setup all new lens files away from the maximum limitation of the lens zoom. It is possible that the lens file was originally created at the maximum or minimum zoom capabilities of the lens zoom.

The final lens position lays very close to the mechanical limits which disable the motorized lens position.

Position the lens manually, or reposition the projector so that the lens position lays further away from the mechanical limits, or try to use another lens which range is more suitable. Setup all new lens files away from the maximum limitation of the lens zoom. It is possible that lens file was originally created at the maximum or minimum zoom capabilities of the lens zoom. Program correct lens type into communicator under Advanced/lens parameters and recreate the lens files.

Wire unit (reference 1 image "Lens connections") of the lens focus signals disconnected from the Signal Backplane.

Remove the front cover and front dust filter from the projector and check if the wire unit (reference 1 image "Lens connections") is inserted in the Signal Backplane.

Disconnected wire unit of the Signal backplane.

Remove the front cover of the projector and check if the wire unit (reference 4 image "Lens connections") is connected with the Signal backplane.

Malfunction Fan Control board.

Replace the Fan Control board. See "Removing a board in the card cage".

Malfunction focus motor of the lens.

Use the local keypad to focus the image on the screen. If unsuccessful, replace the motorized lens.

Malfunction Signal Backplane (bad connection).

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

Malfunction SMPS board which supplies power to the lens.

Replace the SMPS board. See "Replacement of the Switched Mode Power Supply".
