Powering up the Projector
Besuretheprojectorisproperlyconnectedtopowerandtheprojector
is in the Sleep state *.
Press the Power On/Standby button and the projector will enter the
Live state * with the lamp on and the fan at high speed. (The lamp
takes approximately 30 seconds to reach full brightness.)
The projector uses a group of default settings at startup. These
default settings can be modified through choices made in the menus.
Seepage17 Menus.
Thedefault settingsprovidean on-screenStartuplogo forthefirst five
seconds and then select the data input source. If no data source is
present the projector will select a video player input source. If no
input source is detected, the image projected will default to the Startup
logo. If no Startup logo was selected in the features menu then the
screen will be blank.
Caution: Ultra High Pressure lamps need to be in a stable condition
prior to turning them on or off. To protect the lamp and the
projector,Lightware has designed protective delays into the
power up and power down circuitry. After first turning on the
lamp, a 30 second timer prevents prematurely turning it off. After
turning off the lamp, a 60 second timer prevents turning it on
prematurely. Please do not attempt to bypass these delays.
*for more information on the operational states of the L-1020, see
OperationalStates onpageA-4 in the appendix.
Tip:
If you are connected to a laptop and are not projecting an image you
may have not properly activated the external video output port. See
Laptop External Video Port Activation on page A-15 in the appen-
dix .
