Connect all 4 ballast cables—two DC power cables, and 2 communication/control

cables—to the rear of the projector and to the lamp ballast. Refer back to Figure 2.3.\
When the ballast has been properly configured (see 2.7, Connecting the Ballast) and
connected to the projection head, connect its integral line cord to AC. Then:
:
SET LAMP TYPE
NOTE: Service/installer required
Explosion hazard. Keep the projection head OFF until
you have defined which lamp type is installed.
Before powering up the
projector and igniting the
lamp, the installer must
define in projector
memory which size lamp
is installed; otherwise
you risk severely
overdriving or
underdriving a lamp.
At the TPC, go to the
Admin: Lamp menu
(password required).
Enter the size of the
lamp currently installed
in the projector (factory
default = 2.0 kW). See
Section 3, Operation if
you need help using the
TPC menus. Also record
the lamp type on the
"Lamp Installed" label.
: Still in the Admin: Lamp menu (see Figure 2.29), use the "Cable
SET CABLE LENGTH
Length (m)" text box to record the length of high-voltage DC cables connected
between your lamp ballast and projection head. This value regulates the voltage drop
that occurs over distance, and ensures that adequate voltage reaches the lamp.
Particularly in a projector rented for temporary installation, the setting may have to
be changed from its last use. Adjustment range is 2-30m (6½-100 ft.).
: Power up the CP2000-X system as described in 3.2 Power-up Procedure.
