Lamp Replacement Instructions

013-100059 (02/05) 1 of 4

Introduction

Use the following instructions when replacing a lamp in the Christie DS+60 projector.

It is recommended a lamp be replaced when it has reached its Lamp Limit as defined in the

Lamp menu, has failed or shows a significant decrease in brightness. The Lamp Limit setting

should not exceed the expected lamp life (1500 hrs). Enable the Lamp Message checkbox, in

the Lamp menu to receive a warning message upon power-up indicating the lamp has reached

its defined Lamp Limit.

Lamps that have burned out or failed during operation should be replaced immediately and

not left in the projector.

By design, the projector will automatically change lamp operation modes to maintain

continuous light on the wall. This auto-switching of modes may or may not be directly related

to the lamp. In some cases, a failure of another component in the projector will cause the

change in lamp operation modes, such as a lamp driver failure. Always check the status of a

lamp in the Lamp menu to ensure lamp replacement is required.

For more information on the various lamp operation modes, auto-switching and lamp status

refer to the User’s Manual provided with your projector.

Components Required

Lamp Kit #03-900520-01P (includes one 300W P-VIP lamp, instructions, warranty and RMA

request forms)

#1 Phillips screwdriver

Safety and Warning Guidelines

Read the Lamp Replacement procedure in its entirety before proceeding.

Never stick hands into an empty lamp compartment while the projector is still plugged into

an AC outlet.

Handle a lamp by the housing only. Lamps can be hot even after cool down.

Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp. Fingerprints left on the surface can lead to an

intense accumulation of heat called a “hotspot”, which could potentially result in the lamp

shattering. It is recommended you wear clean, lint-free gloves when working with the lamps to

prevent fingerprints.

Instructions

Please read before proceeding.

1. Press

to power down the projector and allow the lamp to cool for approximately 5

minutes after the fans have turned off before continuing with Step 2. If required, you can

switch lamp modes and cut power to the lamp you want to replace without having to power

down the projector and interrupt a presentation — called a “warm swap”. Check the Lamp

menu to ensure the lamp operation mode has been switched to the other lamp and allow a

lamp cool down period before continuing with Step 2.

NOTE: Opening a lamp door when a lamp is still “live” will cause the projector to

automatically cut power to that lamp — not recommended.

Lamp Replacement Instructions WARNING Wait at least 5 minutes after powering down or switching lamp operation modes to allow the lamp to cool sufficiently before removing. Figure 1. 2. Remove the single screw from the lamp door you want to open. NOTE: The amber window on the door (Figure 1.) should be dim. If it “glows” then the lamp in this compartment is still on. Manually switch to the other single lamp operation mode to cut power to the lamp before replacing. (Figure 2.) 3. Swing the lamp door open.

Lamp Replacement Instructions WARNING Do not stick hands into an empty lamp compartment, especially if the other lamp is still on. The lamp compartment can become quite hot and cause physical injury. 7. On the new lamp module, turn the three lock screws to the “unlock” position before inserting it into the lamp compartment. Align the lamp with the three pins located at the back of the compartment. Insert the lamp all the way in until it is fully seated. (Figure 4.) 8.
