1 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. CONTENTS OF THE MANUAL This manual contains installation, operation, and operator maintenance procedures for Christie SLC Xenon Console. The material covered includes: • General description • Installation and assembly • Alignment and checkout procedures • Operating the SLC • Troubleshooting. 1.2. WHO SHOULD USE THIS MANUAL? This manual provides information suitable for various purposes. All users should read Section 2: Safety Precautions.
SLC Series Xenon Console 1.3. SPECIAL NOTICES Three kinds of specific notices are used within this manual to emphasize specific information. 1.3.1. WARNING WARNING: Indicates the presence of a hazard that can cause personal injury if the hazard is not avoided. WARNING 1.3.2. CAUTION CAUTION: Indicates the presence of a hazard that could cause damage to the system. 1.3.3. NOTE NOTE: Provides additional information.
2 2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS This section highlights the major dangers of working with the SLC Xenon Console. Appropriate safety measures must be taken at all times. 2.1. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD! WARNING Xenon compact arc lamps are under high pressure. The lamps must be handled with great care. They may explode if dropped or mishandled.
SLC Series Xenon Console 2.2. ALLOW LAMP TO COOL If the lamp has been in use, wait at least ten minutes after shut-off before opening the lamp housing. WARNING The ten-minute waiting period allows the internal lamp pressure to drop to a level at which it is safe to work while wearing the authorized protective clothing. Again, always wear protective clothing when the protective cover is removed from the lamp. 2.3.
CHAPTER NUMBER: TITLE 2.5. AVOID FIRE HAZARDS FIRE HAZARD: Keep hands, clothes, and combustible material away from the concentrated light beam in front of the snood. WARNING Use extreme caution when working around the SLC Xenon Console. Fire danger may arise from heat, electrical current, or the concentrated light beam emitted by the Xenon lamp.
3 3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION This SLC Xenon Console is a series of projection illumination systems that combine the rectifier DC power supply and projector base with a Xenon lamphousing into a single, integrated unit with a minimum of installation and wiring expense. These consoles are designed for use with any standard 35-mm or 35/70-mm motion picture projector head. 3.1.

5 5. ALIGNMENT AND CHECKOUT PROCEDURES 5.1. MECHANICAL ALIGNMENT When installing an SLC console equipped for 35/70 mm operation, be certain that the optical bench assembly is in the correct sliding position: FORWARD for 70 mm, to the REAR for 35 mm. Contact Christie for more information or for assistance. All SLC Consoles are optically aligned at the factory. The optical bench or plenum assembly is aligned with an optical laser alignment tool.

Insert threaded cathode end of lamp into negative lamp connector located in rear of plenum. (See Item 7 in Figure A-6.) 9. Screw lamp in place until it bottoms out in lamp connector. 10. Rest positive (anode) end on forward wire cradle. 11. Install positive lamp connector. (See Figure 5-1.) 12.
6 6. OPERATING THE SLC 6.1. SAFETY REVIEW Do not install, operate, maintain, or repair the SLC Xenon Lamp Console unless you have read Section 2, are familiar with the safety precautions, and have followed all warnings and instructions. WARNING • Never look directly at the Xenon lamp. Serious and permanent eye damage can be caused by the ultraviolet radiation of the lamp. Under no condition should the console be opened except as described in Section 7, below.

7: Operating the SLC Xenon Console If the light is not on when the pilot lamp (Item 5 in Figure 6-1) is on, check for an open switch (door switch, blower switch, or exhaust stack switch) in the interlock circuit. 5. If Automation Control is not used, set DC Power ON/OFF switch to ON position. If Automation Control (automatic remote control) is used, leave AC ON/OFF switch in OFF position. Lamp operation is controlled by automation relay.
SLC Series Xenon Console 6.3. OPTICAL ALIGNMENT AND ADJUSTMENT Repeat this procedure every time a lamp is changed. (See illustrations in Figure 6-2.) 1. After lamp has been started and operated as described in Section 6.2, open douser. Observe dark spot projected on screen. 2. Using control panel (Figure 6-1), adjust lamp focus until dark spot is clearly defined. 3. Center dark spot using vertical and lateral adjustments (Item 9 in Figure 6-1). 4. Move lamp forward.
7: Operating the SLC Xenon Console 6.4. TILT ADJUSTMENT The SLC Console is optionally equipped with a jackscrew for easy tilt adjustment. It is located in the bottom rear of the console, and is accessible from either side. (See Item 16 in Figure 4-2.) 1. Loosen all four (4) hold-down bolts. (See Item 7 in Figure 4-1.) 2. Turn jackscrew using 3/4-inch wrench or ratchet. Turn jackscrew clockwise to tilt console downward. Turn jackscrew counterclockwise to tilt console upward. 3.
7 7. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS Wear protective clothing when protective cover is removed from lamp. WARNING 7.1. BEFORE OPENING THE CONSOLE Perform these checks at least every 60 days or 500 hours. Turn off the breaker at the building AC power distribution panel before entering the console. WARNING 1. Check contact surfaces of positive (anode) and negative (cathode) connections for cleanliness at regular intervals.
SLC Series Xenon Console Always remove the lamp before cleaning the reflector. WARNING 7.2.1. CLEANING DUST For surfaces that are dusty but do not have smudges, fingerprints, or grease marks: 1. Brush dust from surface with camel-hair brush. 2. Blow remaining dust away with compressed air. 7.2.2. CLEANING GREASE For surfaces that are smudged or have oil or grease smears: 1. Moisten cotton pad with light detergent solution. Pad should be well moistened but not dripping wet. 2.
7: Operating the SLC Xenon Console These items should be cleaned approximately every six months under normal environmental conditions. Equipment in very dusty or otherwise contaminated areas may require more frequent maintenance. 7.3.1. BLOWER The blower impeller and motor should be cleaned to prevent build-up of contaminant on both the blower impeller surfaces and on the blower motor. Proper operation of the lamp is dependent on providing adequate cooling air flow.
SLC Series Xenon Console The following adjustments must be made with the rear lamp adjustments centered. 7. When all preliminary adjustments are satisfactory, connect positive connector to anode ferrule. To prevent arcing, keep anode lead clear of any metal parts. 8. With anode centered, firmly tighten anode and cathode clamping screws. 9. Replace plenum cover and doors of lamphouse. 10. Set current control to lowest tap and start lamphouse. 11. Install scope lens and aperture. 12.
7: Operating the SLC Xenon Console 115 VAC Connect three signal wires (Scope/Flat) from automation programmer to TB6-1, TB6-2, and TB6-3. (See Item 25 in Figure A-1.) Set switch S13 to AC mode. Provide 115 VAC to TB6-1 or TB6-4 to activate latching relay for scope/flat format. 2. Turn autofocus switch (Item 11 in Figure 6-1) to ON (1). 3. Activate automation programmer for flat position. Observe that lamp focus adjustment moves lamp forward.
SLC Series Xenon Console 7.6. OPTIMIZER REFLECTOR The SLC OPTIMIZER reflector is designed to give maximum performance (light output) when the Xenon lamp has reached the optimum operating temperature for arc size and stability (two to three minutes). Ensure that the DC current setting to the lamp is correct and the lamp temperature has stabilized before making final autofocus adjustment. Do not allow the current to exceed the rated maximum lamp current or be below 10% of that value. WARNING 7.7.
8 8. TROUBLESHOOTING This section helps the user to identify and, where possible, correct system malfunctions in SLC Xenon Consoles. The sections below are organized by malfunction type. For each malfunction, the manual lists symptoms associated with possible problems, and then presents a table containing probable causes and steps to be taken to correct the problem. Christie suggests that, when following these troubleshooting procedures to correct a problem, users: 1. Copy the appropriate tables 2.
SLC Series Xenon Console 8.2. MALFUNCTION: LAMP DOES NOT IGNITE The system powers up, but the lamp does not ignite. Probable Cause Corrective Action Date/Remarks A Ready lamp is not on. B C DC supply is not set to proper value. Failed power supply. D Failed igniter E Igniter relay has failed. F Lamp failed. Check all interlock or blower switch circuits. Increase lamp current by adjusting power supply tap switch.
