Initial Power Up

This is a manual power-up procedure. Some cinema installations may include an automation system that con-
trols lamp ignition in conjunction with other theatre variables such as house lights, audio and the start of the
feature from a digital media storage device/server. Warning! Do not attempt operation if the AC supply is not
within the specified voltage range.
1. Ensure the projector's wall circuit breaker is ON. The "Ready" status LED will illuminate in solid yellow.
2. On the CDP, press
takes approximately 2 minutes. NOTE: If "lamp on" is selected while the projector is still in Standby
mode, the power will be turned on before the lamp.
3. On the CDP, press
flashing slowly until the lamp is ignited, then it turns solid. The "Ready" status LED will turn off when the
lamp is ON.
If the lamp fails to ignite:
• If a safety interlock switch is open (i.e., lamp door is open), the lamp cannot be struck until the interlock
problem is resolved. The "Error" LED will illuminate in red and flash.
• If the lamp fails to ignite even though the interlock system is ok, the projector will automatically re-try
ignition using 100% of the maximum power acceptable for the installed lamp. If this re-try fails, a new
lamp is likely required.

Maximizing Light Output

To ensure optimal operation and peak screen brightness, activate LampLOC™ to adjust the lamp position
whenever a new lamp is installed in the projector. Once LampLOC™ adjustment is complete, the lamp will be
well-centered and distanced correctly from the remainder of the illumination system.
Before adjusting LampLOC™, ensure the following criteria are met:
 The lamp is installed with the anode yoke in the correct location for the lamp type. Refer to Figure 2-
9.
 The correct use of the lamp extension nut with CDXL-30SD lamps is met. NOTE: This nut must be
removed if you're not using a CDXL-30SD lamp.
 The lamp must be on and the douser (shutter) is opened during adjustment.
 Perform a white test pattern. This is recommended to allow you to view LampLOC™ progress on
screen.
