Monitoring the projector status

The read-only Status menu lists a variety of details about the standard and optional components
currently detected in the projector.
Refer to the Status menu for versions of hardware and software installed, the type (size) of lamp, the
hours logged in total and for a specific period (such as a rental period), and for your projector model
name and serial number. In addition, the Status menu identifies the current channel, its location, its
frequencies and other details.

Alarm conditions

An alarm condition consists of a message that is on the LCD display located beside the built-in keypad.
There are two types of alarm conditions:
• Warning alarm—Appears when an error or a non-optimal condition has occurred, and generally
does not prevent the projector from operating. An example is when a temperature is slightly
elevated.
• Critical Alarm—Appears when a condition occurs that could prevent the projector from
operating and could cause damage to the projector. This may cause the projector to shut down
automatically. An example would be a fan not running.
Both alarm types display:
• The item of alarm
• The status of the item
The item of the alarm can be either physical (fan or sensor), or the alarm can be a software issue
(lamp driver). The LCD displays the status of the item and its units. If the status of the item is out of
normal range an alarm is created. When the status of the item is within normal range the alarm
clears.
When an alarm is displayed in the LCD display, the built-in keypad is disabled. To confirm the alarm,
press the OK soft key to enable the built-in keypad. The alarm condition can also be viewed in the
read-only Status menu using the remote.
