Page 3 (amperes), arc voltage, operating wattage, and elapsed hours. The Bulb Hours display (BLB) can be re-set upon installation of a new bulb, while the actual elapsed hours of the X-90 console are accumulated by the Total Hour (HR) display. To establish and maintain an accurate history of xenon bulb usage, the Total Hour (HR) figures should be entered on the Xenon Bulb Record.

Page 5: Installation
Position the console in front of the projection port as required. THE AC SUPPLY to the X-90 must be a four-wire three phase line, plus ground, installed in conformance to local codes by a qualified electrician. Voltage requirement is stamped on the equipment Data Plate.
Page 6 IF A STRONG or other manufacturer’s automation is installed subsequent to the installation of the X-90 console, the wires and/or cables must be routed through proper wire paths such as inside the upright console frame channels or the stainless steel wire channel (Figure 1, Item 68) provided. Self-adhesive mounts for standard plastic tie wraps are supplied inside the wire channels of the X-90.

115 V.AC ceiling exhaust blower. This circuit is protected by the 10 ampere circuit breaker marked LAMP. An advantage to wiring the external exhaust blower to the X-90 is that it can be energized simultaneously with the other booth circuits through the MASTER contactor.
Page 9 This block is supplied with the X-90 console when ordered for use with a Ballantyne projection system. LEVEL THE CONSOLE BASE to the floor of the projection booth. Level the machined top surface of the soundhead before securing the mounting bolts.
Page 10 BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURING TOLERANCES, it may be necessary to reposition the reflector after having centered the aligning cord in the test aperture. To do so, loosen the #8 screws (Figure 2, Item 54) from the back of the reflector flange and alternately tighten and loosen the spring-loaded allen head reflector mounting screws (Figure 2, Item 8) to achieve the desired “single string”...
Page 11: Safety Procedures
SAFETY PROCEDURES THE XENON BULB is highly pressurized. When ignited, the normal operating temperature of the bulb increases the pressure to a level at which the bulb may explode if not handled in strict accordance to the manufacturer’s operating instructions. The bulb is stable at room temperature, but may still explode if dropped or otherwise mishandled.

Page 13 XENON BULB INSTALLATION THE X-90 CONSOLE is designed for operation with the following xenon bulbs ONLY. Bulbs not listed below must be certified by their manufacturer as being 100% interchangeable with the listed bulbs, and designated as ozone free. Refer to the SAFETY PROCEDURES before handling the xenon bulb.
Page 14 The current output adjustment for the X-90 power supply is located above the ammeter. Do not exceed the maximum current level specified by the bulb manufacturer; the X-90 power supply is capable of overdriving the xenon bulb.
Page 15 BULB ALIGNMENT AND OPERATION CLOSE AND LOCK the lamphouse access doors. Turn on the exhaust system. Close the douser. Energize the distribution panel by turning the MASTER circuit breaker to the ON position (light ON). When the LAMP circuit breaker is closed, the indicator lights for “POWER,” “AIR,” and “DOOR” will light. IN NORMAL MODE, the LAMP “ON”...
Page 16: Daily Operation
A SCISSORS JACK is mounted to the rear of the console base to permit setting the projection angle. To adjust, open the rear access door and loosen the (2) lock nuts on the inside of the upright frame. Tilt the console to the desired projection angle by operating the jack with a 3/4 inch socket or box end wrench. When set to the correct angle, retighten the lock nuts.
Page 17 2. If using a booth automation system, leave the lamphouse douser OPEN. The automation controller will switch the xenon bulb ON after starting the projector motor. At the shut-down cue, or in the event of a film break or other automation failsafe fault, the xenon bulb will extinguish. All blowers will continue to operate and cool the bulb and power supply.

LCD screen. Make certain the (2) circuit breakers on the power supply cabinet are ON and not tripped, and check the line fuse. These components are accessible through the off-operator side door of the X-90. X90/016...
Page 19 THE STRONG SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY also includes Phase Loss Detection and Brown-Out Protection which will disable the power supply in the event of problems in the AC supply line. See the power supply Instruction Manual for detailed information. ELAPSED HOURS will begin counting upon bulb ignition. Bulb hours (BLB) are limited to four digits, and are re-set when the xenon bulb is replaced.
Page 20: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE VERY LITTLE MAINTENANCE, aside from routine cleaning, is required for the X-90. The cleaning intervals must be determined by the dirt and dust conditions at each installation. ALLOW THE BULB to cool to room temperature before opening the lamphouse compart- ment.

Page 28: Troubleshooting
A defective elapsed time meter will not prevent bulb ignition. The control circuit of the X-90 operates on 115 V.AC. Exercise extreme caution when taking readings inside the console enclosure. Do not open the lamphouse enclosure until the bulb has cooled to room temperature and the power supply and igniter capacitors have drained for (10) minutes.
Page 29: Normal Operation
These doors must be closed and locked to insure switch closure. Domestic X-90 consoles utilize magnetic door switches; mechanical (pushbutton) switches are used on export models. An air vane switch, mounted to the blower outlet below the reflector, requires adequate air flow to actuate.
Page 30 The xenon bulb will continue to operate until DC current is turned off by opening the connection between wires 3 & 6 or by placing the LAMP switch in the OFF position. The automation controller will open the 3 & 6 circuit upon completion of the program, or if a film break or other fault actuates its interlock protection. Lamphouse blowers will continue to operate until turned off manually.
Page 31 The Strong switching-type Xenon Power Supply employs solid state circuitry requiring sophisticated diagnostic equipment not generally available to field service personnel.
