Section 5: Troubleshooting
SYMPTOM
CAUSE/REMEDY
Lamp does not ignite
If the lamp won’t ignite, there may be an interlock failure
such as an open lamp door, or failed lamp fan. An error
code will display on the status LED display located on the
built in keypad.
If a temperature is too high (e.g.“DMD over critical temp
limit”), the lamp will not ignite until the temperature is low
enough. Cool the projector and try again.
If the lamp does not ignite after a second and third try,
replace the lamp.
Lamp suddenly turns
Off
Try increasing the lamp power.
The DMDs may be overheated.
Replace the lamp.
Flicker, Shadows or
Dimness
Increase lamp power, if possible.
Replace the lamp.
Intensity does not seem
to work
Make sure “Intensity” is selected in the Lamp menu.
If the lamp power has increased to its maximum in order
to maintain an intensity setting, intensity is automatically
terminated. If the values shown in the Lamp menu indicate
that the lamp power has reached this “over-drive” state,
either reduce your intensity setting or install a new lamp.
