Code 5453: “heat exchanger fan - voltage low” (Warning)

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 wire units (reference 1 image "Heat exchanger fan") of the fan (reference 2 image "Heat exchanger fan") of the Heat Exchanger.

Remove the left cover of the projector and pull out the Heat Exchanger assembly. Check the insulation of the wire units of the fans in the assembly.

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

  2. If the wire unit of the fan is not repairable, replace the fan. See "Heat exchanger fan"

Malfunction Signal Backplane (bad connection)

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