specified voltage and power range. Use the specified line cord.
VOLTMETER -
Displays incoming voltage level reaching the projector.
SWITCH / BREAKER -
The breaker on the rear panel serves two purposes: 1 ) It is
a power switch for the ballast 2) It protects against excessive AC conditions
(15A or more for Roadster S
+
12K 20A or more for Roadster S
+
16K/Mirage
S
+
14K , and 25A or more for Roadster S
+
20K ). If the projector is faulty or
excessive AC is detected, the breaker will “trip” to OFF in order to prevent
damage. Try moving the breaker ON again - if the breaker continues to trip
OFF, this indicates a major fault and the AC problem must be resolved.
Possible causes might include shorts, damage to lamp cables, or excessive AC.
NOTE: This switch powers only the ballast—it does not power up the projector or
start the lamp. You must press
on the keypad.
Two Status Displays:
2-DIGIT STATUS/ERROR CODE WINDOW -
This LED (light emitting diode)
display is adjacent to the built-in keypad. During normal operation, the
“Power” light is steady yellow and indicates “on”. When the status of the
projector changes, the LED displays a 2-digit code number representing the
projector’s new status. In addition to the numeric readout, there are two
decimal points in the display: the right decimal point flashes when the projector
receives a command, and the left point flashes when the projector sends a
command.
