LAMP HISTORY -
This read-only option lists the lamps most
recently installed and recorded in the projector. Lamp History
automatically updates whenever you record a new lamp serial
number—the new lamp is added to the bottom of the list.
Use
CHANGE LAMP
to record the serial number for a newly
installed lamp:
In the Lamp S/N window, use the number text entry keys to record the new lamp
serial number and press again to accept the change (see Figure 3.27). See Using
Slidebars and Other Controls if you need help entering the number. Once entered,
the new lamp serial number will be added to the Lamp History menu and the Lamp
Hours timer will reset to “0”. Lamp Mode and Lamp Limit remain as they were for
the previous lamp and can be changed at any time.
Figure 3.27. Recording the New Lamp Serial Number
NOTE: Enter a serial number only if you have just installed a new lamp. This will
help ensure that lamp timer is not reset on an old lamp and that the number of hours
logged on the lamp will be accurate.
IMPORTANT
ALWAYS record the serial number of a NEW lamp.
When a new lamp is installed and its
serial number recorded by selecting
“Change Lamp” in the
Lamp menu, the
lamp timer resets to “0” and begins
logging time for the new lamp. This
tally appears in both the
Lamp menu
(see right) and the Status menu.
To review the number of hours logged
for previous lamps, consult the
Lamp
History menu.
If the “Lamp Message” checkbox has
been enabled in the
Lamp menu (recommended), an expiry message will appear upon
power-up when the lamp has reached its defined “Lamp Limit”.
