LAMP MESSAGE
- Enter a checkmark
to enable a warning message that will appear
upon power-up when the lamp has reached the specified lamp limit and should be
replaced. Delete the checkmark to prevent display of this message—instead, when
your lamp expires only the status LED display will provide the visual warning to
replace the lamp.
NOTES: 1) It is recommended that the Lamp Message checkbox remain enabled. 2) If
a lamp warning message appears during power-up, press
Exit
to temporarily cancel
the message. The message will continue to appear upon power-up until you install a
new lamp.
LAMP LIMIT
- Set the lamp limit
to the number of hours you expect to log on the
current lamp before replacing it. The limit by default is 1500 hours.
LAMP MODE
- Select a lamp mode to control the light output of your projector —
select “Max Brightness” to run the lamp as brightly as possible or “Power
”
(default)
to continually run the lamp at the specific wattage set by adjusting the
POWER
slidebar.
POWER –
Adjust the slidebar when
LAMP MODE
is set to “Power”
,
to indicate the
number of watts (250-300) applied to the lamp.
In general, a lower power level
generates a dimmer image. Specifying a maximum power level is the same as
operating in “Max Brightness” mode.
LAMP OPERATION –
One of the key features of the projector is that it can be operated
with one or two lamps on. From the pull down list, select the lamp operation mode
you want to operate the projector in. “Dual Lamp” is the default.
•
DUAL LAMP
– Select “Dual Lamp” to operate the projector with both lamps
on. In this mode, you can achieve maximum brightness output by the
projector. Refer to Lamp Operation and Switching on the previous page for
more details on how the projector behaves when in this mode.
•
SINGLE, LAMP #1 OR SINGLE, LAMP #2
– Select “Single, Lamp 1” or “Single,
Lamp 2” to specify the lamp you want to operate the projector with. The other
lamp remains in “reserve” and will only turn on if the current lamp “fails” for
some reason or if the mode is manually selected.
