•Choice of high-contrast zoom lenses (from 1.45:1 up to 4.3:1)
•Optional auxiliary lens mount (for 1.25x anamorphic or wide converter lenses)
•Communication ports for remote control of the projector via PC or other controller
•High-security tamper-resistant lid lock, with all access electronically monitored
The CP2000 accepts a variety of cinema or DVI-compatible “non-cinema” signals
for projection on front screens typical in a commercial theatre or other large screen
applications. High brightness light is generated by a short arc Xenon lamp, then
modulated by three DMD (Digital Micromirror Device) panels responding to
incoming data streams of digitized red, green or blue color information. As these
digital streams flow from the source, light from the responding “on” pixels of each
panel is reflected, converged and then projected to the screen through one or more
front lenses, where all pixel reflections are superimposed in sharp full-color images.
Make sure that you have received the following components (see also Figure 3.1):
•Pedestal on casters, with 4 retractable feet installed
•Projector “Head” with lens mount (installed) and auxiliary lens mount(optional)
•Touch Panel Controllerwith mounting hardware

INSTALLATION AND SETUP
LIT MAN USR CP2000 2-3
020-100032-04 Rev. 1 (03/14)
Figure 2.1. Assembling Projection Head with Pedestal
5-3) Lift the projection head on to the pedestal, aligning 4 threaded rods with 4
holes in pedestal frame. The front of the head will seat on the front of the
pedestal frame, and the rear will be elevated by the safety prop.
5-4) Retract the safety prop until the rear of the projection head seats on the
rear of the pedestal frame. All 4 threaded rods will be fully inserted
through the holes in the top of the pedestal. Secure prop (do not leave
loose).
5-5) Secure head-pedestal assembly with 4 washers/nuts tightened snugly on to
the 4 threaded rods (use ¾” wrench).
2) Position CP2000 at port window
Roll the projector until its base is approximately 2 feet from the port window wall, 3
feet if anamorphic lens mount will be added (optional). Center with the theatre screen
() if possible (see Figure 2.2A). If forced to be off-center (such as when a film
projector is already present), try to optimize aim as shown in Figure 2.2B. This will
slightly increase side keystoning, but will minimize horizontal lens offset required.
NOTE: Unlike film projectors, it is best to keep the projector lens surface as parallel
to the screen as possible, even if it is significantly above the screen center.

(AERIAL VIEWS)

INSTALLATION AND SETUP
2-4 LIT MAN USR CP2000
020-100032-04 Rev. 1 (03/14)
Note that when a particularly short throw distance combines with a very wide screen,
you may have to forfeit some aim and stay more parallel to the screen. In such cases,
some lens offset can reduce the keystone distortion.
Later, when your projector is up-and-running, adjust precise image geometry and
placement as described in 2.7, Basic Image Alignment.
3) Extend All Feet
For permanent
installations and more
stable images, the
projector should be
firmly on the floor rather
than on its casters.
See Figure 2.3. Extend
(rotate) the foot located
behind each caster until
the lens opening is fairly
well-centered with the
port window. Lock top
nut in place. Remove
caster if desired.
NOTE:There is no need to adjust leveling and/or tilt at this point—wait until all
other components are mounted/installed, and refer to 2.4, Adjusting Tilt and
Leveling.
4) Install TPC (Figure 2.4)
4-1) Attach the Touch Panel Controller,
pre-assembled with its ball joint
base and mounting arm, to the
matching ball joint base secured at
the rear of the projector.
4-2) Connect to the TPC cable routed
through the nearby hole in the
projector rear. The other end of this
cable is pre-connected to the internal
Ethernet hub and the 24V power
supply.
If desired, you can mount the TPC and its 24V
power supply elsewhere at the site. Route the
TPC cable through either the rear or front hole
on the projector. Cap unused hole.
5) Connect Pre-installed Cabling (Pedestal-to-Head)
Numerous cables are pre-installed within the pedestal and must be routed up to the
underside of the projection head, where they connect to one of three panels (or two
IEC power sockets). Connect pedestal-to-head cabling as follows:

020-100032-04 Rev. 1 (03/14)
the IEC receptacles located near Panel B (100-230 VAC) and Panel C
(200-230 VAC). These cables are interchangeable—connect either cable to
either receptacle, and secure with metal strain-relief clip provided. See
Figure 2.7. NOTE: For CP2000-S Models –Refer to the Addendum for
Installation and Use provided.
Figure 2.7. Connect “Projector” Breaker Power Cables to Projection Head
(CP2000 shown)
IMPORTANT: Components in the lamp compartment will require 200-230
VAC.
NOTE: If you prefer to use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for supplying
power to the projection head, route the UPS power cables through the pedestal toe
and connect to the IEC receptacles on Panel B (100-230 VAC). In this case, only one
power cable provided in the pedestal is used.
5-6) CHECK DEDICATED OUTLET: Within the pedestal, confirm that the power
supplies for the Ethernet hub and TPC both connect to the single internal
outlet at the front pedestal corner known as the “dedicated” outlet (Figure
2.8). No other components or external equipment should be connected
here. NOTES: 1) This is a current-limited 120 VAC outlet powered by the
ballast and separately fused. 2) Refer to the separate CP2000-S Addendum
for power connection details.

should be pre-installed on the
cathode-end lamp post. Regardless
of model or lamp size, this nut is
1.658” in overall length. See right.
NOTE: The universal nut shown
accommodates all models. Do not
install a shorter nut.

IMPORTANT: Ball joint must move freely. If
necessary, hand tighten with 9/64” allen key.
•With 3/16” allen key, secure the NEGATIVE (–)
BLACK lamp lead and the 2 igniter harnesses to
the side of the connector nut.
IMPORTANT: Secure lamp lead FIRST on
connector, then remaining 2 igniter wires on TOP.
At this point, the lamp pre-wiring is complete.
Leave lamp accessible for now.
6) Connect 2 Cooling Hose Ends (Pedestal-to-Head)
During operation, a closed loop of flexible tubing circulates cooling liquid stored in
the pedestal to critical electronic components located in the front compartment of the
projection head (see Figure 2.14). Looking into the pedestal, the liquid will circulate
counterclockwise.

To create this loop, connect the OUT/warm and IN/cool hoses as described below
(note: hose connections may not be labeled). Make sure to depress each hose connector
tab before inserting the hose end, then release to seal. This prevents damage caused by
forcing the gasket end into a closed connector. Listen for a “click”.
•The long loose
hose connected to
the reservoir is the
OUT/warm hose
from the projection
head—connect to
the projection head
location closest to
the non-operator’s
side of the
projector.
•The short loose
hose connected to
the heat
exchanger is the
IN/cool hose—
connect to the
projector head
location closest to
the operator’s side
of the projector.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the sealing gasket, always depress the
connector tab when inserting the hose end. Avoid “forcing” together, and listen for
“click”.
7) Fill the reservoir completely (initial filling for hoses only)
After connecting the hoses, completely
fill the cooler reservoir with Christie’s
50/50 mix of distilled water and ethylene
glycol.
For this first filling, simply fill the
reservoir completely—there is no need to
check the gauge. Virtually all of this first
supply of liquid will be drained into the
hoses upon initial power-up, at which
point the reservoir must be re-filled to the
correct level at the gauge window (see
2.5, Initial Power-up).
8) Check Lead Dressing & Hoses
At this point, integral pedestal-to-head
cabling and hose connection should be
complete. Check all lead dressing and
secure as neatly as possible to prevent

extra cable lengths from dangling or touching other components. Provide proper
strain relief as necessary. Make sure hoses are free of kinks and sharp turns.
Connect sources and communication links at any time—see 2.2, Installing and
Connecting Sources and 2.3, Connecting for Communications.
Warm exhaust air from the CP2000 must vent to
outside of the building. Connect pre-installed outside-
venting ductwork via 8” inside diameter fireproof
ducting material attached to projector’s top exit port.
Confirm that 1) there are no obstructions or “kinks”
within the ducting, 2) all air intake areas of the
CP2000 are clear and exposed, and 3) the vane switch
at the exit duct is moving freely. The pre-installed
outside-venting duct should be rigid at the projector,
and must also include a heat extractor/blower that
maintains at least 600 CFM when measured at the
projector exhaust opening (Table 2.1).
Table 2.1. Airflow Requirements
Model
Lamp
(kW)
Minimum Exhaust Airflow Rate
CP2000-i/h/S
2
600 ft3/min.
3
600 ft3/min.
CP2000-h/S
4.5
600 ft3/min.
6
600 ft3/min.
CALCULATE CFM in 8” DUCT: Use an air flow meter to measure the ft/min or ft/sec at
the rigid end of the duct that will connect to the projector (measure right at the end).
Then multiply the reading by the cross-sectional area of the 8” duct to calculate the
cubic feet/min airflow. The formula is:
Measured linear ft/min x 0.34 = CFM
For any CP model, calculations should show 600 CFM
airflow in the 8” exhaust duct. Add extractors/boosters
as needed for your site, as the vane switch (see right)
will prevent the projector from operating if the airflow
is inadequate. Do not mount extractor on the projector.
NOTE: If the duct becomes significantly blocked—or if
a fan fails—the projector should trigger an alarm
before becoming overheated or unsafe. Regardless,
check airflow regularly as described in 6.2,
Maintaining Proper Cooling.
WARNING
Never disable a vane switch. Attempting to operate the
projector with inadequate airflow can result in
dangerous overheating of the projector.
