projectors are installed with two 180W UHP lamps. Only one lamp will be ON at any given time.

Lamp Message
Enter a checkmark to enable a warning message. The message will appear when powering ON if the lamp has
reached the specified lamp limit and should be replaced. Delete the checkmark to prevent display of this
message. When the lamp expires, the status display will provide a warning to replace the lamp.
NOTES:
1) It is recommended the Lamp Message checkbox remain enabled.
2) If a lamp warning message appears during power-up, press to temporarily cancel the message. This
message will continue to appear upon power-up of the projector until a new lamp is installed.
Lamp Limit
Set the lamp limit to the number of hours you expect to log on the current lamp before replacing it. This will
trigger a lamp message on-screen (if enabled in Menu Preferences ). The maximum limit for the lamps in the
RPMX/RPMSP-D132U is 10000 and 7000 for the RPMSP-D180U.
NOTES:
1) If you change the lamp mode over the life of the lamp, the lamp limit you originally expected may no longer
be possible.
2) Frequently turning the lamp on and off will reduce its life.
3) Do not exceed the maximum lamp limit for these lamps, as they can become dangerously fragile with
overuse.
Lamp Mode
Select a lamp mode to control the light output of the projector. Generally higher light output or higher power
settings can shorten lamp life. You can choose to:
• run the lamp as brightly as possible (i.e. using maximum power)
