• Never operate the projector without all of it’s covers in place. Caution! Failure to comply with the following could result in minor or moderate injury. Only Christie accredited service technicians are permitted to open any enclosure on the projector and only if the AC power has been fully disconnected.
Maintenance Ventilation and cooling Vents and louvers provide ventilation, both for intake and exhaust. Do not install the projector near a radiator, heat register, or within an enclosure. To ensure adequate airflow, keep a minimum clearance of 50 cm (20 inches) around the projector and never block or cover the vents. Inspect and clean the airflow interlocks Warning! Failure to comply with the following could result in death or serious injury.
The coolant color may fade over time, however this does not impact the ability of the coolant to exchange heat. Only use coolant recommended by Christie in this projector. The liquid cooling module (LCM) circulates coolant through the digital micromirror device (DMD) heat sinks.
Page 69
Maintenance 5. Disconnect the communications harness from the coolant reservoir. 6. Disconnect the coolant hoses from the coolant reservoir. 7. Remove the three screws securing the reservoir bracket to the projector base plate. 8. Lift and remove the reservoir from the projector. 9.
Filtration Notice. Failure to comply with the following may result in property damage. Use only high efficiency Christie approved filters: light engine filter (five-pack)—P/N:003-001184-XX, liquid cooling radiator filter—P/N: 003-003082-XX, and LAD filter (three-pack)—P/B:03-001982-51P. Never operate the projector without the filter installed. The air filters in this product cannot be cleaned thoroughly enough for reuse and can lead to the contamination of optical components.
Christie recommendations. • Never twist or bend the quartz lamp body. Use the correct wattage lamp supplied by Christie. • Never attempt to remove the lamp when it is hot. The lamp is under extremely high pressure when hot and may explode.
Maintenance 1. Shut down the projector, disconnect from power, and let it cool. 2. Put on the protective clothing and face shield. 3. Use the key to open the lamp door and access the lamp compartment. Do not lean, or place heavy objects on the open lamp door. For more details, see Maintenance shutdown on page 66.
Maintenance 2. Fold a microfiber cloth and wipe the remaining dust particles off the lamp with the smooth portion of the cloth that has no folds or creases. Do not apply finger pressure. Instead, use the tension in the folded cloth to remove the dust. Inspect and clean optics Notice.
Maintenance Remove fingerprints, smudges, or oil from the projection lens Do not use a cleaning solvent that contains ammonia. Avoid lens contact with Xylene and Ether. 1. Brush most of the dust off with a camelhair brush or use a dust-free blower. 2.
Maintenance Calibrate the lens motors If the lens motors are not calibrated properly, implications may include: • Incorrect reporting of the lens motor position. • Inability to use the full range of the lens motors. • Lens motors traveling outside of the pre-defined keep-out area. •...
Troubleshooting This section provides information and procedures for resolving common projector issues. If a projector issue cannot be resolved, contact a Christie accredited service technician. Projector does not power on • Make sure the projector circuit breaker is set to the on position.
Troubleshooting • Verify the number of hours the lamp has operated. A lamp nearing the end of its operational life should be replaced. • Check for a cross-connected condition.
