4.5 The Hours Menu
The Hours menu helps you keep track of lamp life.
To open the Hours menu:
1. Press
MENU
on the remote.
2. Highlight Hours and press
ENTER
.
The Hours menu shows the time in hours and min-
utes for three groups:
• System Hours shows how long the electronics
module has received power. This is essentially the
number of hours the AC power has been on. You
cannot reset this. (If the electronics module is
replaced, it will start with System Hours near
zero.)
• Runtime Hours shows how long any lamps have
been on, essentially showing how long the optical
parts in the light tower and the optical engine have
been used. You cannot reset this.
• Lamp Hours should show how long the lamp has
been used. You can reset these times.
Lamp Hours will only be accurate if you take care
to reset the hours when the lamp is changed, and not
reset hours otherwise.
! Lamps are not warranted to last for any particular
number of hours. A lamp life of 6,000 hours means that
half the lamps in a large sampnle will last at least that
long. It does not guaranty that any individual lamp will
last that long.
