Recording the serial number of the new lamp automatically resets the lamp timer
to "0" to reflect the number of hours the lamp has been used. The timer will now
begin logging each hour of use for the new lamp, recording the current level in
the main Status menu. See 4.4, Replacing the Lamp and Filter for complete
instructions on installing a new lamp assembly.
WARNING
If you enter a serial number and select the "Accept"
button WITHOUT having installed a new lamp, the
timer will incorrectly return to "0" and will therefore
no longer be accurate. The old lamp may expire
without warning.
NOTE: Once entered, the new lamp serial number is also automatically added to
the "Lamp History" list of lamp serial numbers in the Service menu (password-
protected).
The Service menu is password-protected and can be used by qualified service
personnel only. However, test patterns from the Service menu can be accessed
through the keypad shortcuts shown below. Press

When working with multiple projectors, you may want to use the RS-232 ports
to chain the projectors together in a network that you control from either a
keypad or a computer/controller (see 2.9, Serial Port Connections). Or you may
prefer that each projector stands alone, in which case you will probably use a
single IR remote keypad. In either case, you can switch back and forth between
broadcasting to all projectors or controlling each projector individually.
Make sure you have assigned a unique projector number to each projector
present — this number will be required in order gain the exclusive attention of
an individual projector. To assign a projector number:
