3.10Using Multiple Projectors

History is automatically updated whenever the serial number for a new lamp is recorded. The information for the new lamp is added to the bottom of the list.

NOTE: If you remove lamps from the projector it is important to replace them back into the compartment from which they were removed. This ensures accurate lamp information is maintained. Each lamp compartment is labeled Lamp 1 and Lamp 2.

CHANGE LAMP – Select this option to record a serial number of up to 9 digits/characters for every newly installed lamp. When selected, a Lamp S/N window appears. Use the number text entry keys to record the new

lamp serial number and press Enter again to accept the change. See Using Slidebars and Other Controls if you need help entering the number. Once entered, the new lamp serial number will be added to the Lamp History menu and the Lamp Hours timer will reset to “0”. Lamp Mode and Lamp Limit remain as they were for the previous lamp, and can be changed at any time.

NOTES: 1) Enter a serial number only if you have just installed a new lamp. This will help ensure the lamp timer is not reset on an old lamp and that the number of hours logged on the lamp will be accurate. 2) Lamp serial number can be found on the lamp itself.

IMPORTANT

Always record the serial number of a NEW lamp.

LAMP OPERATION – This option is the same as in the Lamp menu. It appears again in the submenu for convenience.

The read-only Status menu lists a variety of details about the standard and optional components currently detected in the projector. Refer to the Status menu for versions of hardware and software installed, the type (size) of lamp, the hours logged in total and for a specific period (such as a rental period), and for your projector model name and serial number. In addition, the Status menu identifies the current channel, its location, its frequencies and other details.

Scroll the full Status menu using . Use for page up/down.

When an installation requires multiple projectors, you can use the RS232 serial ports to daisy-chain the units together and control the group with a single keypad or a computer/controller connected to the first projector. In such a network, you can choose to broadcast commands to the entire group, or use the Proj key as desired to limit responses to an individual projector.

Alternatively, you may want to add projectors to a hub on an Ethernet network. See 2.6, Connecting Multiple Projectors for full routing details.

NOTE: Refer back to 3.6, Adjusting System Parameters and Advanced Controls for complete information about communicating with multiple projectors.
