Working With the
Lamp
Access the Lamp menu to:
• Choose a lamp mode for regulating power and light output.
• View information pertaining to past and present lamps.
• Record the lamp serial number in the projector’s memory.
Lamp Hours (read-only): Lamp Hours shows the number of hours logged on the
current lamp. Whenever you record a new lamp serial number, the SC-1 automatically
resets this value to “0” and begins to log time for the new lamp.
Lamp S/N (read-only): Lamp S/N is the serial number recorded for the current lamp.
When you install a new lamp and enter its serial number, the number appears here.
Lamp Message: Enter a check mark for Lamp Message to enable a warning message
that appears upon power-up when the lamp has reached the specified lamp limit and
should be replaced. Delete the check mark to prevent display of this message—instead,
when your lamp expires, only the status display messages on the back of the projector will
provide a visual warning to replace the lamp.
Lamp Limit: Set Lamp Limit to the number of hours you expect to log on the current
lamp before replacing it. This will trigger a lamp message on-screen (if enabled).
1. It is recommended that the Lamp Message check box remain
enabled.
2. When a lamp warning message appears, press EXIT to
temporarily cancel the message. The message will continue to
appear upon power-up until you install a new lamp.
1. If you change modes over the life of a lamp, the lamp limit you
originally expected may no longer be possible.
2. Turning the lamp on and off reduces lamp life significantly, as do
other factors.
3. It is recommended that Lamp Limit not exceed the expected
lamp life, otherwise a lamp could become dangerously fragile
with overuse.
