Code 5553: “tec - voltage low” (Warning)

Situation

Solution

Damaged insulation of the wire unit of one of three Peltier elements (TEC) causing a short circuit with the projector chassis. Disconnecting the wire unit of the damaged Peltier element from the Signal Backplane will clear the warning.

Check the wire units of each Peltier element.

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

  2. If not repairable, replace the Light Processor unit. Return the malfunction Light Processor to factory for repair. See "Light Processor assembly".

One of the Peltier elements causes a short circuit.

Replace the Light Processor unit. Return the malfunction Light Processor to factory for repair. See "Light Processor assembly".

Malfunction Fan Control board or SMPS board.

Measure on the Signal Backplane the +VTEC voltage on pin 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 of the connector of the black wire unit which comes from the SMPS board. See image.

If the measured voltage is about 16V 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".
