INTRODUCTION
Use the following instructions when replacing the lamp or filters in one of the projectors listed under
Kits Required. Christie® recommends that lamps and filters be checked approximately every 1000
hours under normal operating conditions. Use only a Christie approved Lamp and Filter Kit for your
projector model.
When do I replace a lamp? Replace the lamp when it reaches its end of life or sooner if a noticeable
degradation in brightness occurs. You can set the number of hours you expect to log with the lamp
before replacing it, by setting the lamp limit in the lamp menu of the projector software. This setting
should not exceed the lamp lifetime warranty. Enable the lamp message checkbox to provide a warning
upon power up to indicate the lamp has reached the set lamp limit. At this time the lamp should be
replaced.

Lamp and Filter Replacement
EXPLOSION HAZARD! Lamps are under high pressure and may contain
hazardous materials. Always wear an authorized full face shield and protective
clothing to protect eyes and arteries when handling lamps.
Lamp replacement must be performed by a qualified service technician.
To avoid personal injury, always let the lamp cool completely before handling,
and always handle the lamp by the housing only.
Always use the correct wattage lamp supplied by Christie. Read the entire lamp
replacement procedure and all warnings before servicing.
Never touch the glass surface of the lamp. Fingerprints left on the surface can
lead to an intense accumulation of heat called a "hot spot", which could
potentially result in lamp explosion during normal operation.
