Power-up Procedure/Checklist

NOTE: This is a typical manual power-up procedure. Some installations may include an automation system
that controls projector start-up and lamp ignition in conjunction with other variables such as lighting, audio
and other equipment.
The following steps provide a checklist of steps for the Power-up procedure:
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. See
2. Use locking type cord provided to plug in projector head.
3. For China models, turn the projector head breaker ON.
NOTE: At this point, the projection head is in "standby" mode only. The voltmeter displays the incoming
voltage, the adjacent main PROJ. STATUS light yellow, and the light engine compartment fans running.
The rest of the projection head should be OFF.
4. Connect the ballast's integral three-phase 30-amp line cord to your AC supply according to your site.
5. For China models, turn the ballast main breaker ON.
6. Confirm the ballast's three-phase status lights are ON and the adjacent voltmeter displays an acceptable
AC level for your ballast, and region. See
7. Turn the lamp breaker ON.
8. With the breakers/power switches set to ON. Listen for the internal cooling fan to start-up.
NOTE: There is no other indication of whether the ballast is ON or not.
9. Press M
ENU
6000 watts, depending on its last setting (factory default=6000). Enter the lamp password.
NOTE: The password is required unless the "Enable Password" service option has been turned OFF.
10. Press P
OWER
status display shows the correct lamp type, the projector, and lamp can be switched ON.
11. Press and hold the P
STATUS
light at the rear of the projector should be green when the projector is up-and-running. For best
results, let the projector warm up for about 5 minutes.
If the Lamp Does Not Ignite, check:
• 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 glows red, and an error appears on the status display,
and LCD window.
• If the lamp fails to ignite even though the interlock system is OK, the projector automatically tries to re-
ignite using 100% of the maximum power acceptable for the installed lamp. If this re-try fails, the lamp
likely needs replacement.
NOTE: For complete power-up troubleshooting, See
12. In the Lamp menu, set the "Cable Length (m)" to match the length of the DC cables currently connected
between your ballast and projection head.
