Power-up Procedure

NOTE: This is a typical manual power-up procedure. Cinema installations may include an automation system
for controlling projector start-up and lamp ignition in conjunction with other variables such as lighting, audio,
etc.
range.
1. Make sure that ballast is properly configured for the AC at your site, and that it is connected via 4 cables to
the projection head. Refer to
2. Connect the heat extractor fan to the projection head. Refer to
Cooling.
3. Connect the head to AC. The voltmeter on the back of the projector will indicate the incoming level of AC,
and the main PROJ STATUS light on the rear of the projector should glow a steady green. At this point,
only the light engine fans will be running.
4. Connect the ballast to AC. The ballast's 3-phase LEDs and voltmeter should light up.
5. Turn the ballast breaker switch to ON. The internal ballast fan should start up. (NOTE: There is no other
indication of whether the ballast is on or not.)
6. At the TPC, go to the Admin: Lamp menu (password required). Enter the size of the lamp currently
installed in the projector (factory default = 2.0 kW).
7. Still in the Admin: Lamp menu, set Cable Length (m) to match the length of DC cables currently
connected between your lamp ballast and projection head. (range is 2-30m, or 6½-100 ft).
8. On the Main menu, press the lamp button and hold for 2 seconds. The lamp should ignite (and full power
is maintained for 15 seconds). Press the desired channel button on the Main menu. The source will be
displayed according to pre-defined factory defaults for this channel. Adjust or apply new settings as
described in
IF THE LAMP DOES NOT IGNITE
• If a safety interlock switch is open (such as when the lamp door is ajar), the lamp cannot be struck. The
PROJ STATUS light on the rear of the projector will be red and the error will be indicated on the status
display and LCD window.
• If the lamp fails to ignite even though the interlock system is OK, the projector will automatically re-try
ignition using 100% of the maximum power acceptable for the installed lamp. If this re-try also fails, a new
lamp is likely needed. NOTE: For complete power-up troubleshooting, refer to
3.4

Power-down Procedure

NOTE: Manual shut-down only. Your system may include automation.
1. Press the lamp button on the Main menu to turn the lamp OFF. You must hold the button down briefly.
2. Cool the lamp. Warning! Wait at least 10 minutes so that fans completely cool the lamp.
3. Set the ballast breaker to OFF.
