DCP 30 LX / DCP 30 SX Safety 1 .1 Safety Notes General Hints • This operating manual is to be kept with the digital projector at all times. • For safe and trouble free operation of the projector a good working knowledge of basic safety regulations and the projector’s correct use is required.
Intended Purpose The DCP digital cinema projector can project any digital content with 2K resolution. Any other or further use is not classified as an “intended purpose”. KINOTON cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from different or extended operation.
DCP 30 LX / DCP 30 SX • To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this equipment, but call in qualified personnel when service or repair work is required. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is used subsequently.
DCP 30 LX / DCP 30 SX 1 .4 .2 Safety Door Switches in the Lamphouse Door switches (black arrow) are mount- ed behind the inner cover plates. The xenon lamp does only ignite if these covers are mounted (switch contact).
Therefore, avoid touching the coated lens surface. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft dry cloth (Cleaning set from Kinoton). Do not use a damp cloth, detergent solutions or thinner. Issue: 11/2009...
DCP 30 LX / DCP 30 SX 1 .5 .4 Lamphouse Mechanical danger by broken glass flying around: - when operating the xenon lamp - when changing the xenon bulb - when disposing of the xenon bulb DANGER OF EXPLOSION S Never bypass the door switch.
S In the event of fire, use sand, CO , or dry powder fire extinguishers; never use water on an electrical fire. S Always have service on this projector performed by Kinoton authorized service personnel. 1 .5 .6 Danger because of Errors and Malfunctions DANGER S Make sure that nobody starts the projector while anyone is working on it.
DCP 30 LX / DCP 30 SX 1 .5 .8 Cleaning the Projector Housing ATTENTION U Always switch off main switch (position 0 OFF), before cleaning the projector hous- ing. U To keep the cabinet looking brand-new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth.
If the electronics box is opened or the light engine is removed the projector indicates a security error. The result is you are not able to project protected films. Via a hardware key and a code the Kinoton service person can re-activate the system. 1 .7...

2 .3 .4 Connecting the Water Cooling in a DCP 30 LX The DCP 30 LX projector is externally supplied with coolant by a KWK-DCP water cooling unit. • Connect the forerun hose (blue arrow) coming from the water cooling to the Light Engine.
• The lamphouse is power supplied (DC) by an external rectifier (KEX 110 G for DCP 30 SX and KEX 170 G for DCP 30 LX). • The DCP 30 LX version has the Light Engine cooled by an external water cooling system (KWK-DCP).
DCP 30 LX / DCP 30 SX 3 .3 Components Overview The optional touch panel PC is pivoting fastened on the right upper edge of the projector head. The button panel can either be positioned on the right side or on the backside of the projector head (depends on customers order).
S Always switch off the main switch (position 0 OFF), before removing any cover plate or grille, e. g. when cleaning the filters or connecting a D-Cinema server. S All installation, adjustment and service work must be carried out by Kinoton trained service personnel.
- Xenon unit 3,000 W to 7,000 W: Ø 340 mm ATTENTION U Do not touch the inside of the main reflector with bare hands. If necessary carefully remove fingerprints with an alcohol-soaked cloth. U The main reflector should only be changed by Kinoton service technicians. Issue: 11/2009...
