Lamp power supply (LPS)

Danger! Failure to comply with the following results in serious injury.
This power supply is non-serviceable. Never attempt to open or service this module - serious injury
may result. A faulty supply must be replaced.

The LPS is located at the rear of the projector. The LPS supplies the lamp with power.

Power
Warning! Failure to comply with the following could result in serious injury.
DO NOT attempt operation if the AC supply is not within the voltage range specified on the license
label on the back of the projector. Always turn the projector off before you unplug the AC power cord.
Wait 15 minutes for the main exhaust fan to turn OFF and for the lamp to cool before you unplug the
projector.

Danger! Failure to comply with the following results in serious injury.

High voltages may be exposed—Qualified personnel only. Always power down and unplug the
projector prior to disassembly.

Power supplies are not serviceable. Any faulty power supply module must be replaced. Never open
or attempt to service a power supply. Contact Technical Support for a replacement.
Warning! Failure to comply with the following could result in serious injury.
A dedicated earth wire must be installed on the projector before it can be connected to power. The
dedicated earth wire can only be installed by a Christie accredited service technician or an electrician.
All installations must meet the electrical codes for your area. The protected earth wire must be
green/yellow 12 AWG minimum. See Specifications on page 81 for power requirements.

Power remains available to the projector even after lamp shutdown (STANDBY mode) so that online
monitoring and software upgrades can be performed. The projector is powered by 200–240VAC
power from the theater. The switching LPS (lamp power supply) provides a well-regulated DC
current up to 97 amps with a maximum LPS power of 2.3kW. The power output from the LPS is
controlled by the PCM through a dedicated ‘RS232’ connection from the backplane to the LPS. A
secondary 100–240VAC inlet can be selected using a switch, which allows the main electronics to be
powered separately through a universal 100–240VAC UPS. The main LPS is powered through the
main 200–240VAC inlet. A discrete AC switch above the two inlets lets you select how the main
electronics are powered.
• From the main inlet: A only, which requires only one power cord to supply the entire unit.

Danger! Failure to comply with the following results in serious injury.
UV HAZARD! Never look directly into the lens or into an open projector. The extreme light output
could cause permanent eye damage. Wear ultraviolet-blocking eye wear with side-guards if servicing
with the lamp ON.

The projector lamp is an intense source of light and heat. One component of the lamp light is
ultraviolet (UV) light, which can produce the same effect on the skin and eyes as sunlight. Avoid
exposure to UV radiation by keeping the lamp fully enclosed when you operate the projector and by
wearing authorized protective clothing (P/N: 598900-095) before opening the lamp door. DO NOT
operate the lamp without the lamp door in place.
Notice. Failure to comply with the following may result in property damage.
• The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommends that
occupational UV exposure for an 8-hour day be less than 0.1 microwatts per square centimeters of
effective UV radiation. An evaluation of your workplace is advised to Make sure that employees are
not exposed to cumulative radiation levels exceeding the government guidelines for your area.
• Be aware that some medications are known to increase sensitivity to UV radiation.

This projector must be operated in an environment that meets the operating range specifications.

 Introduction

High temperature
Danger! Failure to comply with the following results in serious injury.
Only Christie-authorized service technicians trained specifically on lamp replacement and lamp safety
may handle the lamp. A high-pressure lamp may explode if improperly handled. Always wear Christie
approved protective safety clothing whenever the lamp door is open or while handling the lamp.
Never attempt to access the lamp while it is running. Wait at least 15 minutes after turning the lamp
OFF before powering down, disconnecting from AC, and opening the lamp door.

The projector lamp operates at very high temperatures and pressures. If you do not let the bulb
cool sufficiently prior to handling, the lamp could explode and cause personal injury and/or
property damage. After powering the lamp OFF, you must wait at least 15 minutes before
disconnecting AC and opening the lamp door. This practice provides enough time for the internal
lamp cooling fans to cool the bulb. Always cool the bulb completely before handling. Always wear
Christie-approved protective safety gear (P/N: 598900-095) before opening the lamp door.

Power cord
Warning! Failure to comply with the following could result in serious injury.
DO NOT attempt operation if the AC supply is not within the specified voltage and power range. Refer
to the Specifications section. Always power down the projector before unplugging the AC power cord.
The appropriate ratings for the projector are listed on the license label (located on the back of the
projector). Wait 15 minutes for the main exhaust fan to turn OFF and for the lamp to cool sufficiently
before unplugging the projector.

Use only the power cord provided with the projector. DO NOT compromise safety by using other
connectors.

Lead dress
Before you service the projector, always observe the original lead dress carefully. Take extra
precautions to secure all harnessing properly, especially in the high voltage circuitry areas (that is,
lamp cables). Replace any wire that appears to have damaged insulation. Always replace ground
connections.

Ground/earth connections
Danger! Failure to comply with the following results in death or serious injury.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! Never defeat the ground/earth connection of the projector for any
reason. This poses an electric shock hazard that could potentially lead to bodily harm or DEATH.

After you service a projector, it is a critical safety requirement to make sure that all ground/earth
connections are properly connected before powering up. Failure to ground/earth the projector
properly can allow a potentially hazardous current to pass from any exposed metal on the product
through the human body. Maintain the ground/earth connection of the projector during all
operations.

 Introduction

Cleaning
Danger! Failure to comply with the following results in serious injury.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! Make sure that the projector is completely powered down and
disconnected from AC before the lens or any of the projection head covers or doors are loosened and
removed. Wear gloves when handling internal components.

You must keep all internal components clean during any service procedure. In particular, all of the
projector’s optics must remain free of contaminants to perform at the level specified for the
projector. Even a small amount of dust or a fingerprint can degrade the image or cause a noticeable
reduction of brightness. When you service the projector, take all necessary measures to avoid
touching or contaminating optical surfaces. Always wear gloves (provided) when you handle
internal components. Make sure that the projector is OFF and disconnected from AC before you
clean it.
If you follow the proper precautions, a minimum amount of cleaning (typically none) is required
during and after servicing.

Adjusting the vertical boresight angle

Warning! Failure to comply with the following could result in serious injury.
A boresight adjustment should only be made when the image cannot be focused uniformly on the
screen by aligning the projector to the screen and focusing the lens. When adjusting boresight, you
must maintain the boresight distance from the lens to the prism plane set by Christie. For example,
when you move the top screw outward, turn the bottom two boresight screws to maintain the overall
distance.

Caution! Failure to comply with the following could result in minor or moderate injury.
Only adjust vertical boresight 1/8 of a turn or less at one time to maintain optimal lens performance
(i.e. factory setup of absolute lens distance to the prism). It is critical that each turn of the cap
screws is tracked to ensure adjustments are accurate.

It is recommended that you complete a top and bottom boresight adjustment before adjusting the
horizontal boresight.

4. Turn the vertical cap screw (A) 1/8 of a turn counter-clockwise.

5. Adjust both left and right horizontal adjusters by half the number of turns, in the opposite
direction of the vertical adjust. For example, if the vertical adjust cap screw was turned 1/8 of a
turn, the left and right horizontal cap screws should be turned 1/16 of a turn in the opposite
direction.

6. Check the screen each time an adjustment is made. If the quality of the projected image has
degraded, turn the vertical adjust cap screw 1/8 of turn clockwise. Ensure the left and right
horizontal adjusters are adjusted equally in the opposite direction to correct axial focus.
The 1/8 of a turn is a suggestion only and can be less if needed; however, it should never be
exceeded. Always compensate both left and right horizontal adjustments according to the
vertical adjustment.

7. Check the image after each adjustment. Continue to make adjustments until both top and
bottom are equally sharp. To make sure the lens is in the same relative position, adjust the left
and right horizontal adjusters in the opposite direction at the same time.

8. When the top and bottom of the image are equally in focus lock the set screw to hold it in
position. Recheck the image.

9. If additional adjustment is required, see Adjusting the horizontal boresight on page 18.

10. Replace the lens surround.

Adjusting the horizontal boresight

Warning! Failure to comply with the following could result in serious injury.
A boresight adjustment should only be made when the image cannot be focused uniformly on the
screen by aligning the projector to the screen and focusing the lens. When adjusting boresight, you
must maintain the boresight distance from the lens to the prism plane set by Christie. For example,
when you move the top screw outward, turn the bottom two boresight screws to maintain the overall
distance.

Caution! Failure to comply with the following could result in minor or moderate injury.
Only adjust horizontal boresight 1/8 of a turn or less at one time to maintain optimal lens
performance (i.e. factory setup of absolute lens distance to the prism). It is critical that you count
each turn of the cap screws to ensure accurate adjustment.

Typically, horizontal boresight does not require adjustment. It should only be adjusted if a large
horizontal angular offset to the screen is required.

1. Remove the lens surround.

2. Display the DC2K Framing test pattern:

a. On the touch panel controller (TPC), tap the Test Pattern icon ( ) in the task bar.

4. Turn the right boresight cap screw (A) 1/16 of a turn clockwise.

5. Adjust the left boresight cap screw (C) equally in the opposite direction.

6. If the quality of the projected image has not improved, turn the right boresight cap screw 1/16
of turn counter-clockwise. Make sure the left adjuster is adjusted equally in the opposite
direction.

7. Check the screen each time an adjustment is made. The right-side adjustments affect the top
right and bottom left points on the screen. Once both cross hairs are in focus lock the set screw
for right boresight.

8. Repeat steps 5 to 7 for the left-side.

9. Each corner of the screen should be equally in focus when horizontal boresight is completed
correctly. If necessary, repeat vertical boresight. Only adjust vertical boresight 1/8 of a turn or
less at one time to maintain optimal lens performance (i.e. factory setup of absolute lens
distance to the prism). It is critical that each turn of the cap screws is tracked to ensure
adjustments are accurate.

020-101917-01 Rev. 1 (11-2015)
 Adjusting the Image

The projector uses three separate DMD panels to produce three separate red, green and blue image
components. To ensure the most accurate color representation across the whole image it is
essential the three panels are perfectly aligned so that all pixels line up. Read this section in its
entirety before performing a convergence adjustment.

Preparation
• Reset the red, green, and blue digital micromirror device (DMD) values to their default settings:

• Tap Menu > Service Setup > Digital Convergence > Default

• Make sure the projected image is centered and focused on the screen. If it is not, a boresight
alignment might be required. See Adjusting the vertical boresight angle on page 16.

• Make sure a prime lens is installed. Do not use an anamorphic or Wide Converter Lens (WCL)
lens when adjusting convergence.

• Configure the projector for maximum usable brightness for the installed application:

• 14FL for Standard 2D

• ~25-30FL for Single Projector 3D with a silver screen

• 25FL per projector for Dual Projector 3D

• Allow the projector to operate for 15 minutes or longer.

• Monitor the prism temperature during the convergence adjustment and keep it within a few
degrees of the nominal temperature. Lower the lamp power to reduce the temperature.

• The active screen file should be 2048 x 1080 no crop to prevent any scaling of your reference
test pattern.

• Use a 2.5 mm driver with heat-shrink tubing (2.0 inch and 6.5 inch lengths).

• The red image component is used as the fixed reference; no adjustment is required. The
recommended convergence adjustments are from green to red and blue to green.

• Complete the vertical and rotation adjustment first and then the horizontal adjustment.

where you started. In this poor convergence (pattern simplified) example, red is twisted counter-
clockwise and blue is high and to the left with no apparent twist.

Adjusting the red/green/blue formatter convergence

Caution! Failure to comply with the following could result in minor or moderate injury.
Remove all jewelry before you adjust convergence.

Do not apply excessive force on the adjustment screws. This might cause the convergence
adjustment to become misaligned after you remove the adjustment tool.

The Red and Green Formatters are identical in design and adjuster function, but Red cannot be
adjusted due to space limitations. The Blue formatter board physical design is different, but the

The physical layout of the Formatter boards determines the behavior of the Twist and Vertical
adjustments:
• The vertical adjustment screw and twist adjustment screw interact with each other such that if
one is turned in the opposite direction of the other, the twist is affected.

• If both screws are turned equal amounts in the same direction, the image moves vertically.

• The horizontal adjustment screw is independent of the vertical and twist adjustments.
You do not always have to turn the screws simultaneously. However, if you adjust one screw at a
time you will need to complete an equal or equal and opposite turn on the other screw to prevent
binding and to achieve the correct adjustment.

Evaluating the convergence adjustments

When your convergence adjustment is complete, the test pattern should have these characteristics:

CP2208 Service Manual 27

020-101917-01 Rev. 1 (11-2015)
 Adjusting the Image

• The center area should be perfectly aligned and display solid white pixels.

• The Red should be evenly 1/4 to 1/2 a pixel out all the way around the outer area and display
cyan (green+blue) toward the center of the screen.

• Green and Blue should always be perfectly aligned to each-other (to within ¼ pixel total in one
or a combination of directions.)

 Cleaning Projector Optics

Cleaning the reflector

The reflector must be cleaned with Isopropyl Alcohol Reagent Grade (ACS) 99.9%. Other solvents
can damage the reflective coating on the reflector. Clean the reflector with care. The reflector is
fragile and is easily damaged.
If you cannot access additive free compressed air, use an air bulb or a camel hair brush to remove
the debris. If you have questions about the cleaning methodology, contact Christie.

1. Prepare the projector for service. See Preparing the projector for service on page 68.

2. Remove the lamp. See Replacing the lamp on page 40.

3. Remove the reflector. See Removing the reflector assembly on page 48.

4. Put on a pair of powder free latex gloves.

5. Clean the reflector with Techspray 1671-10S:

angle can release liquid refrigerant and contaminate the projector optics.

6. If the reflector still appears dirty:

a. Fold a lint free cloth and wipe the remaining dust particles off the inside of the reflector
with the smooth portion of the cloth that has no folds or creases. Do not apply pressure
with your fingers. Instead, use the tension in the folded cloth to remove the dust.

b. If significant dust remains on the reflector surface, dampen a clean lint free cloth with
Isopropyl Alcohol Reagent Grade (ACS) 99.9% and wipe the surface carefully. Fold a
clean, dry lint free cloth and wipe the remaining alcohol off the reflector with the smooth
portion of the cloth that has no folds or creases.

7. Reassemble the projector and connect it to AC power.

Cleaning the integrator

Clean the integrator with care. The integrator is fragile and is easily damaged. This procedure must
be performed by trained Christie service personnel.
