5.4 Lamp Replacement
The RPMX/RPMSP-D132U projector includes 2 132W UHP lamps and the RPMSP-D180U projector
includes 2 180W UHP lamps; however, only one lamp is operated at any given time. The other lamp is held in
reserve until the user chooses to switch lamps operation modes or a lamp fails. The projector allows the lamp
not in operation to be replaced without powering down the projector and while the other lamp is still on. It is
recommended the projector be turned off during lamp replacement, this feature benefits applications where
downtime must be kept to a minimum.
When do I replace a lamp?
Lamps that show a reduction in brightness or have reached their end of life
must be replaced immediately. To check the hours each lamp is in use, look at the number of
LAMP HOURS
in
individual lamp submenus or in the Status menu . From the Lamp menu, you can set a
LAMP LIMIT
and enable
the projector to send a warning message when it’s powered on to indicate the lamps have reached their set
limit. See
Section 4.10.1 The Lamp Menu for more information.
At anytime during operation, you can check the status of a lamp by checking the lamp status in individual lamp
submenus –
More, Lamp 1 or More, Lamp 2 . A status message for the lamp specifies a specific failure that may
require further investigation and may be directly related to the lamp. If, through investigation, you rule out the
cause being an aged lamp or another component in the projector, it may indicate that your lamp has
prematurely burned out or failed (check status LEDs and/or error codes through RS-232, if possible). Burned
out lamps or lamps that have failed due to a flaw must be replaced as soon as possible.
In general, monitor the performance of your projector and replace lamps as needed.
