When a new lamp is installed and its serial
number recorded by selecting "Change Lamp"
in the Lamp menu, the lamp timer resets to
"0" and begins logging time for the new lamp.
This tally appears in both the Lamp menu (see
right) and the Information menu.
To review the number of hours logged for
previous lamps, consult the Lamp History
Iris
menu.
When to Replace the lamp
If the "Lamp Message" checkbox has been
enabled in the Lamp menu (recommended),
an expiry message will appear upon power-up
when the lamp has reached its defined "Lamp
Limit". The lamp should be replaced.
The "Lamp Limit" setting should not exceed the expected lamp life, as an old lamp becomes
increasingly fragile and more prone to sudden failure.
Information Menu

components currently detected in the projector. Refer to the Information menu for versions of
hardware and software installed, the type (size) of lamp, the hours logged in total and for a
specific period (such as a rental period), and for your projector model name and serial number.
In addition, the Information menu identifies the current channel, its location, its frequencies and
other details.
