Section 3: Operation
3-54 Christie DS+60/DW30/Matrix 3000 User’s Manual 013-100149-02 Rev. 1 (01/07)
NOTES: 1) The projector will automatically shutdown if it detects both lamps
have “failed” (this includes lamps not installed). 2) The lamp operation mode will
not automatically switch to a previous mode once a “failed” lamp is replaced. It
must manually be selected. 3) It takes approximately 25 seconds for a cold lamp
to reach full brightness when it is first turned on. 4) Power is cut to a lamp only
when the lamp operation mode is switched to the other lamp.
IMPORTANT - the original lamp stays on for 35 seconds to allow the new lamp
to warm up before power is cut and lamp operation modes change.
MORE LAMP 1 (MORE LAMP 2) - There are two separate lamp submenus that can be
accessed from the Lamp menu. Each submenu is dedicated to one lamp – you can
view specific lamp information, such as lamp hours, lamp history and the current
status of the lamp. You can also change lamp operation modes.
LAMP HOURS - This read-only information shows the current number of hours logged
on the current lamp. Whenever a new lamp serial number is detected it begins to log
time for the new lamp. This information also appears in the Status menu.
LAMP S/N - This read-only information displays the serial number for the current lamp.
NOTE: When a lamp is installed, the projector automatically detects the serial
number and displays it here. The serial number is not manually entered.
LAMP 1 (OR 2) STATUS – This read-only information displays the current status of a
lamp and can be viewed any time during operation. Refer to the list below for the
possible lamp status messages and their meaning:
•
“Good” continually appears as the status until there is a failure with one of the
lamps. Then one of the other error messages will display.
•
“Failed to Strike” will display when the projector fails to turn a lamp on. This may
or may not be lamp related. Further investigation is required.
•
“Lamp Not Installed” will display when a lamp is not detected. If present, check to
ensure the lamp is fully inserted and connected to the terminal block.
•
“Turned Off Unexpectedly” will display when a lamp or lamp related component,
such as a lamp driver fails. Check for an error code on the status display.
•
“Interlock Tripped” will display when the lamp door is opened for a lamp that is
still on. In this case, the lamp will automatically be turned off.
•
“Cooling Fan #8 (or #10) Failed” will display when one of the corresponding lamp
fans fail. (Cooling fan #8 is associated with Lamp #1 and Cooling fan #10 with
Lamp #2)
•
“Color Wheel Stopped” will display when a color wheels ceases operation.
•
“Operation Error” will display when the lamp driver reports an operation error and
the lamp is off. This typically occurs when trying to turn on a hot lamp.
•
“Driver Vcc too Low” will display when a lamp driver fails.
LAMP HISTORY - This read-only option lists the lamp serial number and corresponding
lamp hours of the lamp most recently installed. Lamp History is automatically updated
when a new lamp is installed.
