Light intensity hazard distance
This projector has been classified as Risk Group 3 as per the IEC 62471-5:2015 standard due to
possible hazardous optical and thermal radiation being emitted.
Warning! If not avoided, the following could result in serious injury.
• PERMANENT/TEMPORARY BLINDNESS HAZARD! No direct exposure to the beam must be
permitted.
• PERMANENT/TEMPORARY BLINDNESS HAZARD! Operators must control access to the beam
within the hazard distance or install the product at the height that prevents exposure of
spectators' eyes within the hazard distance. The hazard zone must be no lower than 2.5 meters
(US installations) or 2.0 meters (global installations) above any surface upon which any persons
are permitted to stand and the horizontal clearance to the hazard zone must be a minimum 1.0
meters.
• EXTREME BRIGHTNESS! Do not place reflective objects in the product light path.
The following show the zones for ocular and skin hazard distances.
• A—Hazard zone. The region of space where the projection light from the laser-illuminated
projector is above emission limits for Risk Group 2. The light intensity may cause eye damage
after a momentary or brief exposure (before a person can avert their eyes away from the light
source). The light may cause skin burns to occur.
• B—Hazard distance. Operators must control access to the beam within the hazard distance or
install the product preventing potential exposure of the spectators' eyes from being in the
hazard distance.
• C—No access zone. Horizontal clearance of the no access zone must be a minimum of 1.0
meters (3.3 feet).
• D—Vertical distance to hazard zone. The hazard zone must be no lower than 2.5 meters/8.2
feet (US installations) or 2.0 meters/6.6 feet (global installations) above any surface upon
which any persons are permitted to stand.
If the vertical distance to hazard zone requirement (Zone D) is satisfied, the horizontal
clearance distance (Zone C) is not needed.
• E—Represents the top view of the projector.

access signs, and by restricting entry through physical means. The projection room sign must
display the warning "No direct exposure to beam shall be permitted".
• The Christie Laser Projection System Installation Checklist must be fully completed after the
installation and sent to [email protected]. A copy can remain on-site. This
checklist can be found as a separate document in the accessory box with the manual.
• Certain US states have additional laser regulatory requirements. Contact
[email protected] for additional regulatory requirements.

(LOS).
• Power is available to the thermo-electric cooler (TEC) devices; however, the
drivers are disabled.
• Some fans are low speed (depending on projector type).
• Pumps are off.
• Chiller is off (if applicable).
This mode is set from Service Setup > Preferences > IMB.

System operation for CP4440-RGB and CP4450-
RGB projectors only
Understand the correct sequence for powering up and operating CP4440-RGB and CP4450-RGB
systems.
The connected chiller must always be turned on first and turned off only after the projector is turned
off. Once the chiller is connected to AC and the chiller communication cable is connected to the
projector, the projector controls the chiller automatically to maintain the required coolant temperature.
The system is ready to operate when the following steps are completed:
1. The connected chiller unit is powered on.
2. The projector's main power switches are on.
3. Communication between the projector and the connected chiller is confirmed and coolant
temperatures are correctly maintained.
If a thermal shutdown occurs in a dual projector installation, verify the chiller communication
cables are connected correctly between each projector-chiller pair. This makes sure no cross-
connection exists relative to the coolant lines.
Turning on or off the projector
Turn on the projector to display content or turn off the projector to conserve energy or service the
projector.
In the right toolbar, select and hold Power.
LED status indicators
Red, yellow, and green LEDs on the top and rear corners of the projector indicate the status of the
projector.
This following table provides the status indicator LED action and its meaning. The LEDs can be solidly
lit, flash frequently, or flash intermittently.
LED action Projector state Description
Solid green Power on Power is on, light source is on.
Flashing green one time per second Standby mode Power is off, light source is off.
Power saving mode.
Flashing green three times per
second
Warming up mode Projector is warming up.
Flashing green and yellow Cool-down mode Power is on, light source is off.
The light source can be turned on
when in this mode.

The projector turns on the light source and displays a test pattern with the projector's IP
address and any currently active alarms.
The light source remains on.
5. To turn the light source off, select and hold the Marriage button for 5 to 25 seconds.
Resetting the projector IP address to the default
Use the following method to reset the projector IP address to the default value (192.168.206.110) and
the subnet is 255.255.255.0when no touch panel is installed.
1. Connect the projector to the theater network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Make sure the projector is not in Standby mode by selecting the recessed button between the
