3.10.4 If the Lamp Will Not Turn On

If the lamp fails to ignite, the projector will automatically re-try ignition using 100% of the maximum power
acceptable for the lamp. If this re-try also fails, and there is no error code indicating a specific problem such as
an open lamp door or an over-temperature condition, the lamp size may be incorrectly defined. For instance,
the defined "Lamp Size" may be 2 kW when a 6 kW lamp is present. To check the "Lamp Size" setting, press

password (unless it has been turned off) and select the lamp that is currently installed. If the lamp still does not
ignite, a Christie accredited service technician should check all lamp connections and, if OK, replace the lamp.

3.10.5 Lamp Menu

Whenever you install a new lamp in the projector, access the
Lamp
menu to record the lamp serial number in the projector's
memory. You can also choose a lamp mode for regulating power
and Lamp Message check box.
LAMP S/N (read only) option is the serial number recorded for the
current lamp. When you install a new lamp and enter its serial
number, the number appears here.
Select the LAMP MESSAGE
message that appears upon power-up when the lamp has reached
the specified lamp limit and should be replaced. Clear the check
mark to prevent display of this message. When your lamp expires,
only the status display on the back of the projector provides the
visual warning to replace the lamp. In addition, the LED's next to
the built-in keypad flash "LP" when the lamp time has expired.

is the default upon power up), or you can power the lamp with a specific wattage
appropriate for the installed lamp, or you can set a specific intensity (brightness) to
maintain. Although there are exceptions, generally higher light output or higher power settings can shorten
lamp life.
Use the lamp mode that best suits your brightness needs. For example, in a tiled application, you may want to
precisely match brightness levels between adjacent images. If you always want your images to be as bright as
possible, choose Max Brightness.
