Turning On The System - Christie Mirage SST-6P User Manual

The two Emission status indicators (E) turn red. When the lasers are warmed up and the
projector is ready, the shutter automatically opens and you can display an image (use test
pattern if no source image is connected).
On the projector, the Status > Laser Info > Laser Bank State menu displays the message
"Warming Up". When that message disappears, the lasers are ready. It typically takes the
lasers approximately 10 to 15 minutes to warm up when turning on the first time from the off
position. This could be longer if the start-up temperatures are approaching minimum or
maximum temperatures for operation. The projector will operate with the shutter closed until
the lasers are warmed up.

Turning on the system

After the system has been initiated for the first time, not all steps need to be performed when
subsequently turning on the system.
Warning! If not avoided, the following could result in death or serious injury.
• SHOCK HAZARD! Do not attempt operation if the AC supply is not within the specified voltage
and current, as specified on the license label.
Never run the laser illumination source without the cooling system already running. The chiller must
be the first item turned on before power is applied to the laser rack and kept operating until after the
AC lockout/switch is rotated to the off position.
1. Check the coolant level and if the coolant level is low, check for leaks.
It is expected to see periodic evaporation of the fluid in the system. Do one of the following:
• If no leak exists, only add distilled water (not drinking water).
• If a leak exists, after the leak is repaired, add premixed coolant at the recommended 2:1
ratio.
Never add premix coolant to a system that does not have a leak as only the water in the system
evaporates over time. If coolant is added instead of distilled water, the correct concentration of
the ratio of coolant to water (80/20) becomes too concentrated and overheating problems occur.
2. Turn on the chiller.
For more information on how to turn on the chiller, refer to the chiller's product
documentation.
