If the Lamp Message
menu (recommended), an expiry message appears upon power-up
when the lamp has reached its defined Lamp Limit. The lamp
should be replaced.
The Lamp Limit setting should never exceed the lamp's lifetime warranty by more than 20%, as an old lamp
becomes increasingly fragile and more prone to sudden failure or even explosion, which can be damaging as
well as dangerous. These maximum limits depend on the lamp size. See

3.12 Using Multiple Projectors

When an installation requires multiple projectors, you can use the RS-232 and/or RS-422 serial ports to daisy
chain the units together and control the group with a single keypad, remote or a computer/controller connected
to the first projector. In such a network, you can choose to broadcast commands to the entire group, or use the
P
ROJ
key as desired to limit responses to an individual projector. Or you may prefer that each projector in an
installation stands alone and responds only to a unique transmission protocol from its own remote.
Alternatively, you may want to add projectors to an Ethernet network.
NOTE:
Refer back to
information about communicating with multiple projectors.
