Lamp Menu

LAMP MODE
Determines how the lamp power and
intensity are controlled. If Maximum
Brightness is selected, 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.
Constant Intensity mode, use the Intensity slidebar to adjust brightness.
operate correctly if the LiteLoc calibration has not been performed.
POWER
Sets the lamp power in Watts. The Power control represents the amount of power sent to the lamp. 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
Adjusts the lamp intensity to the required % of full. This value is used as a target value by the LiteLOC
system to maintain constant intensity.
OPTICAL APERTURE
Controls the diameter of the light beam passing through the system. With a fully open aperture (slide bar
default of "0"), the maximum amount of light passes through for maximum image brightness. To reduce the
aperture diameter and maximize contrast ratio, increase the slide bar setting.
aperture depends on the lens in use.
WARN WHEN LAMP REACHES (HOURS)
Allows the maximum number of hours (threshold) to be set for lamp usage. When the threshold (set number of
hours) is reached 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 s/n
Records the lamp serial number. 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.
