5. REMOVE THE LAMP MODULE
Firmly grasp the lamp by its housing only and pull it straight out (lamp slides
along guides) until it is free. See Figure 4.4. Discard the lamp using safe
disposal/recycling practices.
6. INSERT THE NEW LAMP MODULE
Align the new lamp with the top and bottom guides on the left side of the lamp
compartment (see Figure 4.5). Slide the lamp all the way in – a slightly harder
push may be required right at the end to ensure it’s fully seated into the terminal
block.
NOTE: The lamp module must make full contact
with the terminal block. The
projector will not power up again if the lamp is not fully connected to the terminal
block.

020-100001-01 Rev. 01 (04/07) 4-9.
NOTE: If you can’t turn the lamp lock into position, it is likely the lamp is not
fully inserted. In this case, partially remove the lamp and try pushing it back in
again. Then, try switching the lock lever to the “lock” position.
8. REPLACE THE LAMP DOOR
Replace the lamp door and secure it with the two (2) screws removed in Step 2.
IMPORTANT: The lamp module is calibrated for maximum performance and
brightness in this projector. Do not attempt to re-align or adjust the lamp module.
9. RECORD THE SERIAL NUMBER OF THE NEW LAMP
• Plug in the projector and power it up.
• In the Lamp menu, select “Change Lamp”.
• In the Lamp S/N text box, enter the serial number.
• Press to record the number and to reset the lamp timer. The timer will now
begin to log time for the new lamp.
IMPORTANT: If you neglect to enter a serial number, the lamp timer will not
reset to “0” and will therefore be inaccurate. The lamp life limit may then expire
prematurely.

The two filters located at the front and left side of the projector should be replaced
whenever the lamp is replaced. If you are working in an extremely dusty
environment you may want to replace the filters sooner. Use the filters provided in
the Christie approved Lamp and Filter Kit for your specific projector model.
1. TURN OFF THE PROJECTOR, COOL and UNPLUG
Before removing or installing a filter, turn off the projector and allow it to cool for
five minutes before unplugging.
2. REMOVE FILTER ACCESS
PANELS
Loosen the captive screw(s) on the filter
access panels using a #2 Phillips
screwdriver. (Front access panel located
to the left of the lens – one screw. Left
side access panel – three screws. See
Figure 4.6.)
3. REPLACE FILTERS
Pull the old filters out of the projector and discard. Do not reuse filters. Insert the
new filters with the wired side in. See Figure 4.7.

Section 4: Maintenance 4-12 020-100001-01 Rev. 01 (04/07) Rotate the lens Rotate the lens counter-clockwise until the tabs are free from the lens retainer ring. See Figure 4.10A. NOTE: The connector slide assembly allows the connector to move as the lens is rotated. Pull lens out Lens connectors will disconnect when you pull the lens straight out from the projector. See Figure 4.10B. Insert new lens. NOTE: Remove small rear cap! Keep front cap on. • Electrical connector: Line up male connector on the lens with the female connector on the connector slide assembly. • Insert lens: Align the tabs on the lens plate lock with the slots in the lens retainer ring. Push the lens in approximately ½ inch. • Rotate the lens: Rotate the lens clockwise until the tabs are tightly secured and the lens release button CLICK. • Secure lock-down screws (optional): For added stability, secure the adjustment screws provided on the lens-retaining ring (see Figure 4.11). If you have installed a large zoom lens, one or more of the screws may be inaccessible—simply tighten those that are accessible (Figure 4.12). NOTE: Recommended for heaviest lenses such as 0.73:1 and 1.2:1. Power Up Remove the lens cap and power up the projector. Reposition the Projector for New Lens Reposition the projector closer or further from the screen as necessary for the screen and the new lens type – refer to lens descriptions in Section 2, Section 6 and Appendix D, Throw Distance. In a permanent installation, always use the appropriate throw distance formula to calculate the best position for the projector. STEP 3 f Figure 4.10. Rotating the Lens STEP 4 f STEP 5 f Figure 4.11.

Section 5 Troubleshooting 020-100001-01 Rev. 01 (04/07) 5-1 If the projector does not appear to be operating properly, note the symptoms present and use the following guide to assist you. If you cannot resolve the problems yourself, contact your dealer for assistance. NOTE: A qualified service technician is required when opening the projector to diagnose any “probable cause”. The projector is on but there’s no display... 1. Was a lens cover accidentally left on? Remove lens cover. 2. Ensure the shutter is OPEN. 3. Is the lamp ignited? Check for interlock problems such as an open lamp door OR check for light spillage out the back. 4. Is the correct input selected? Check cable connections. 5. Check if menus appear on screen. 6. Can you access test patterns? Ensure a full black test pattern has not been selected for display—press Menu to access test patterns, then cycle patterns with keys. Check your source connections again. Severe motion artifacts… 1. Most likely there is a synchronization problem with reversed 3/2 pull-down in 60Hz-to-24Hz film-to-digital conversion in your source. Correct at the source. Image appears “squeezed” or vertically stretched into center of screen 1. Check your Resizing selection. The display is jittery or unstable… 1. If the display is jittery or blinking erratically, ensure that the source is properly connected and of adequate quality for detection. With a poor quality or improperly connected source, the projector will repeatedly attempt to display an image, however briefly. 2. The horizontal or vertical scan frequency of the input signal may be out of range for the projector. Refer to Section 6, Specifications for scan frequency ranges. 3. The sync signal may be inadequate. Correct the source problem. The display is faint… 1. Brightness and/or contrast and/or gamma may be set incorrectly. 2. The source may be double terminated. Ensure the source is terminated only once. 3. The source (if non-video) may need a different sync tip clamp location. 5.1 Displays Symptom f CAUSE / REMEDY: Symptom f CAUSE / REMEDY: Symptom f CAUSE / REMEDY: Symptom f CAUSE / REMEDY: Symptom f CAUSE / REMEDY:
Section 5: Troubleshooting 5-2 020-100001-01 Rev. 01 (04/07) The upper portion of the display is waving, tearing or jittering… 1. This can sometimes occur with video or VCR sources. Check your source. Portions of the display are cut off or wrap to the opposite edge… 1. Resizing and/or blanking may need adjustment. 2. The horizontal or vertical scan frequency of the input signal may be out of range for the projector. Refer to Section 6, Specifications for scan frequency ranges. The display appears compressed … 1. The frequency of the pixel-sampling clock is incorrect for the current source. 2. Resizing, vertical stretch and positioning options may be improperly adjusted for the incoming source signal. Data is cropped from edges 1. Check settings for Blanking. 2. If incoming data is still missing from the image, reduce the image size to within the display area available in the projector. Display quality appears to drift from good to bad, bad to good… 1. The source input signal may be of low quality. 2. The H or V frequency of the input may have changed at the source end. The display has suddenly frozen… 1. It’s possible that excessive voltage noise on the AC or ground input has interrupted the projector’s ability to lock on to a signal. Power down the projector and disconnect from AC. Then plug in again and power up as usual. Colors in the display are inaccurate… 1. Try Auto Setup. 2. The color, tint, color space, color temperature and/or other settings may require adjustment. 3. Ensure signal connections are correct. 4. Ensure the proper channel for this source is being used. Values in Color Saturation slide bars vary over time… 1. Once defined, Color Saturation slide bar values fluctuate over time and will likely be different upon subsequent visits to this menu. This is normal and should be ignored, as these changes do not redefine the x/y coordinates or color gamut. The display is not rectangular… 1. Check leveling of the projector. Ensure the lens surface and screen are as parallel to each other as possible. 2. Is the vertical offset correct? Adjust as necessary using the vertical offset knob.

Section 5: Troubleshooting 020-100001-01 Rev. 01 (04/07) 5-3. The display is “noisy”… 1. Display adjustment at your input source may be required. Adjust pixel tracking, phase and filter. Noise is particularly common on YPbPr signals from a DVD player. (If using a PC source, adjust using a high-frequency test pattern with one pixel on/off throughout.) 2. The video input may not be terminated. Ensure the video input is terminated (75Ω). If it is the last connection in a loop-through chain, the video input should be terminated at the last source input only. 3. The input signal and/or signal cables carrying the input signal may be of poor quality. 4. If the distance between the input source device and the projector is greater than 25 feet, signal amplification/conditioning may be required. 5. If the source is a VCR or off-air broadcast, detail may be set too high. 1. If the lamp won’t ignite, there may be an interlock failure such as an open lamp door, or failed lamp fan. An error code will display on the status LED display located on the built in keypad. 2. If a temperature is too high (e.g. “DMD over critical temp limit”), the lamp will not ignite until the temperature is low enough. Cool the projector and try again. 3. For suspected communication failures, power-down the projector and try again. 4. If the lamp does not ignite after a second and third try, replace the lamp. 1. Try increasing the lamp power. 2. The DMDs may be overheated. 3. Replace the lamp. 1. Increase lamp power, if possible. 2. Replace the lamp. 1. Ensure the “Intensity” is selected in the Lamp menu. Other lamp modes disable LiteLOC™. 2. If the lamp power has increased to its maximum in order to maintain a LiteLOC™ setting, LiteLOC™ is automatically terminated. If the values shown in the Lamp menu indicate that the lamp power has reached this “over-drive” state, either reduce your LiteLOC™ setting or install a new lamp. 1. Ensure the Ethernet settings are valid for your site—all network devices should have the same subnet mask and unique IP addresses. 2. Ensure any address changes have been saved, and re-boot to implement. If you still have trouble establishing communications with a projector added to an existing Ethernet network, the projector’s IP address is likely in conflict with another address already in use.
