Author Topic: DFP-2000 Error Codes Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 02-09-2008 01:46 AM                     Does anyone have a list of the SDDS DFP-2000 Error Codes? I have a unit that occasionally gives an error code on the front panel: E712 and the System OK LED blinks. It will decode with this error, but no digital output (verified by blocking analoge reader). I've removed and reseated all the boards and checked the coin cell battery. A quick google search yielded nothing.  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 02-09-2008 09:40 AM                        I vaguely remember that an E712 error means that you have to replace one of the cards,I want to say the DSP card but its been so long since Ive had to work on a dfp-d2000 that I may be totally wrong, If you have more than one unit on site I would try swapping out the three cards one by one and when you find out which card causes the error to go away you have found your culprit. Maybe someone else can confirm that the E712 error is a card issue and which card it is.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 02-10-2008 02:20 AM                     Sorry Sean, I forgot to indicate that I already narrowed it down to the DSP-61 board. I was just hoping that someone knew what that E-codes were.  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 02-10-2008 09:51 AM                        wow, I cant remember that I rembered that off the top of my head, even though I guess you already figured it out so it didnt help you.  |  IP: Logged Brad Morris Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Los Angeles, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-11-2008 11:28 PM                     Jeremy- Did you ever figure out why your unit was showing this code? After not using it for a while, our DFP-2000 did this on start up. I checked the cards at another theater, and that unit booted up with no problem. Anyone have any suggestions? (Short of throwing it out the window...)  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 11-12-2008 02:13 AM                     Mine appears to be a heat related issue with the DSP-61 board (verified by swapping with another unit several times). If I let it "cool down" for a few minutes it boots up fine. For now I have the unit plugged in so that it stays powered on at all times through an APC UPS in case I have a short term power failure or spike. I'm still trying to track down a DA-20 for a reasonable price to replace this unit though.  |  IP: Logged
