BASIC OPERATION
3-2
Ballast Breaker (on/off)
The breaker on the lamp ballast serves two purposes: 1) it is a power switch for the
CP2000-X ballast, and 2) it protects against over-current conditions of 50A or more.
The breaker must be ON in order to enable normal CP2000-X system power-up and
operation. If faulty or major excessive AC is detected, the breaker will "trip" to OFF
in order to prevent damage. Try moving the breaker ON again—if the breaker
continues to trip OFF, this indicates a major fault and the AC problem must be
resolved. Possible causes might include shorts, damage to lamp cables, or very
excessive AC.
NOTE: This switch does not ignite the lamp. You must use the TPC Lamp Button.
The ballast's internal fan indicates whether or not the breaker/switch is on. There is
no other indicator. Lights on the ballast indicate only that the ballast is plugged in.

enabling the projector to be safely hoisted, flown, and/or stacked with another unit.
Consult complete instructions supplied with the frame kit.
Communications and Source Connection Panel
This connection panel links the
projection head to its other tethered
components—namely the TPC, remote
lamp ballast, and extractor fan—and to
all external devices except non-cinema
(DVI) sources and devices routed via
GPIO.

CATHODE/ANODE CONNECTORS:
For connecting the ballast's 2 lamp
cables (both DC). Note that cable
length must be defined in the
projector.

BALLAST INTERLOCKS:
connecting the safety interlock signals and the Lamp Enable signal between the
ballast and the projection head (RS232).

BALLAST CONTROL:
ballast and the projection head, enabling the projection head to dictate the
amount of current (or power) to be supplied from the ballast to the projection
head.
 For serial communications to and from RS232-compatible equipment,
RS232:
such as a PC or other controller. Not for loop-through purposes.
NOTE: Not for use with Christie's Cine-IPM 2K. Use RS232-B only.
 For Ethernet communications to and from compatible
ETHERNET A or B:
networked equipment, such as a cinema server or PC. This enables remote
control of the projector via an Ethernet-based network. These ports are identical
to one another.
