Getting Started
4.1 Switching on the XDL
About the start up process
To start up the XDL series projector the sealed compartment of the Light Processor and the sealed
compartment of the Laser Clusters must be brought into a 'condition' which is safe for the electronics to
operate (avoid moisture due to extreme cooling). In other words, the temperature and humidity inside these
compartments must be brought within specs prior to activating the lasers and Light Processor. The time
needed to bring the projector from a deconditioned state into a conditioned state depends on the ambient
conditions and can take several minutes. This process is called conditioning.
Keep in mind that it can take up to 10 minutes to start the lasers again after they were switched off.
If there are only 30 to 45 minutes between the shows it's advisable to keep the lasers on with
shutter closed. When the shutter is closed the lasers are automatically dimmed.
Start up procedure
1.
Switch on the chiller(s). The status light of the chiller(s) should light up white. See documentation set of the
chiller.
2.
Press the Power Switch (reference 1, Image 4-1) to switch the projector ON.
The projector starts up to standby mode. The Power on/off button will blink until standby mode is achieved
(reference 1, Image 4-2). Once in standby mode, the Power on/off button will be lit WHITE, but the display will
be off.

3.
Press the Power on/off button on the projector, or the Power On button on the remote control. The projector
will continue to operational mode. The Power on/off button will blink BLUE until the projector is ready
(reference 2, Image 4-2). In this process the shutter will close and the Shutter button will be lit RED. The start
up screen is displayed on the touch panel and when fully started up, it changes to the overview screen.
Once the projector is ready & conditioned, the Power on/off button will be lit BLUE. Now the lasers are active
and light can come out of the projector. The shutter however remains closed. While the shutter is closed, the
lasers will be set to minimum power.
