INSTALLATION AND SETUP

SET THE LAMP TYPE: Before powering

up the projector and igniting the lamp,

the installer must define in projector

memory the size of lamp installed,

otherwise you risk severely

overdriving or underdriving a lamp.

At the TPC, go to the Admin: Lamp

menu (password required). Enter the

size of the lamp currently installed in

the projector (factory default = 2.0

kW). See Section 3, Operation if you

need help using the TPC menus. Also

record the lamp type on the “Lamp

Installed” label.

SET THE CABLE LENGTH: Still in the

Admin: Lamp menu, use the “Cable Length (m)” text box to record the length of

high-voltage DC cables connected between your lamp ballast and projection head.

This value regulates the voltage drop that occurs over distance, and ensures that

adequate voltage reaches the lamp. Particularly in projectors rented for temporary

installations, the setting may have to be changed from its last use. Adjustment range

is 2-30m (6½-100 ft.) in 1m increments.

Ignite the Lamp and Select the Source

At the TPC Main menu, press the lamp button and hold for two seconds to ignite the

lamp. Press the desired channel button on the Main menu. The source will be

displayed according to pre-defined factory defaults for this channel. Adjust or apply

new settings as described in Section 3, Operation.

Adjust the Lens

Turn the focus knob to sharpen the image. Adjust the zoom ring on the lens to

increase or decrease image size. If desired, use the horizontal and/or vertical offset

knobs to shift the image location. For other lens functions, refer to 2.8, Offset and

Boresight Alignment and 3.8, Working With the Lens.

Although the CP2000-X is carefully engineered to deliver an exceptional quality

high-brightness, high-resolution output, your final display results could still be

compromised if the projector is improperly installed. This subsection discusses issues

to consider before proceeding with a permanent installation. Read through for an

understanding how good positioning will help ensure optimized images at any site.

Front Screen Installations

This projector is intended for use with flat or slightly curved screens, front or rear,

ranging from about 5 meters (16 ft.) to 25 meters (82 ft.) wide. Although flat screens

generally offer a low gain similar to a matte white wall paint—approximately 1 with

a viewing angle just under 180°—and are considered most effective when ambient

light is low, this difference in gain may be negligible given the very high light output

from this projector. In addition, incident light reflects equally in all directions so the

audience can see the display from more acute viewing angles. See Figure 2.7.
