Section 3: Operation
LAMP MODE
Determines how the lamp's power and intensity are controlled. If Maximum Brightness the lamp burns as
brightly as possible. Select Constant Intensity mode to maintain a specific brightness level over time. As the
lamp ages, the projector will increase power as needed, to closely maintain the required output from the lamp.
Select Constant Power to specify the power level supplied to the lamp. Both Constant Intensity and
Constant Power modes extend lamp life.
150W to maximize lamp life. In Constant Power mode, use the Iris Position slider (Iris Menu, see
A: Menu Tree) to adjust brightness. Make sure that Iris is set to Manual mode. In Constant Intensity mode,
use the Intensity slidebar to adjust brightness.
LiteLoc calibration has not been performed.
POWER
Set the lamp's power in Watts. The Power control represents the amount of power sent to the lamp(s). Power
increases when operating in Intensity mode, until it reaches its maximum. The value remains stable when in
Max Brightness or Power mode. If using Power mode, setting a lower power level reduces brightness and
extends lamp life.
INTENSITY
Adjust the lamp intensity to% of full. This value is used as a target value by the LiteLOC system to maintain
constant intensity.
slidebar will adjust both the lamp intensity and the Dynamic Iris position to maintain the required intensity.

SINGLE LAMP SWITCH ON FAIL
Selecting this check box causes the projector to automatically attempt to start the other lamp if the current lamp
experiences problems, and is preventing a light on the wall. This applies if there is a failure to start a lamp, or a
failure during operation. This feature applies only to systems which have multiple lamps and are currently set
to run in a single lamp operating mode. A brief period with no light may occur before the other lamp becomes
active.

Refer to Appendix A,
WARN WHEN LAMP REACHES (HOURS)
Enter the maximum number of hours (threshold) for lamp usage. When the threshold (set number of hours) is
reached on either lamp, a warning message displays on the status system, indicating that the lamp should be
changed. This setting is user-defined only, has no bearing on lamp warranty, and is not tied to actual lamp life
in any way. The default setting is 0, which means that the feature is off, and no warning will be generated.
LAMP 1 s/n and LAMP 2 s/n
Enter the serial number for the specified lamp. This will apply the serial number to the current lamp statistics
file. It will not perform the archiving as done by the CHANGE LAMP function.
