6. Starting up
Stage2: Cinema Controller of the pr ojector is booting. This process starts as s oon as the power switch is s witched on (reference
A image 6-1). This process takes several seconds and during this process the backlight of the Standby button is blinking blue. The
projector status light is blinking green (in normal condition, no errors and no warnings). The laser status light remains off.
Stage3: Projector is in Standby mode. The Cinema Controller is up and running. Only the Standby button and Light button on t he
Local Keypad are active: The backlight of both buttons is white. The projector status light is blinking green (in norm al condition, no
errors and no war nings). The laser status light remains off.
Stage 4 : Initialization and PR ECO N DIT IONIN G. Thes e two processes start simultaneous as soon as the Standby button is pressed
for 3 seconds when the projector is in Standby m ode (reference B im age 6-1).
The initialization of all electronic boards takes approximately two minutes and during this proces
s the bac klight of the Standby button
is blinking green. The pro jector status light remains blinking green (in n ormal condition, no erro rs and no war nings). The laser status
light remains off. Note that the projector always boots up in the same mode (E.g. Standby or Operation) as it was switched off.
The PRE CONDITIONING process verifies if it’s safe to turn on the pu mp o f the cooling circuit and to extract humidity from the sealed
compartments without having the risk o f condensation. The temperature inside the sealed compartments is kept on ambient level.
Following sub-stages take place du ring PRECONDITIONING:
Stage 4.1 : Checking am bient and internal conditions.
Stage 4.2 : Turning pu mp on. Reaching liquid flow target.
Stage 4.3 : Flow target reached. Cond itioning humidity in the p rojector.
Stage 4.4 : Cooling started.
Stage 4.5 : Reaching liquid temperature target.
Depending on the en vironm ental circumstances (temperature and humidity) the P RECONDIT IONING process will reach its target
before (reference P image 6-1) or after ( reference P ’ image 6-1) the initialization pr ocess is completed. In optimal c ircumstances it
will be before.
Stage5: Projector is Operational and PRECO N DI TIO NED. All e lectronic boards are up and r unning. A ll buttons on the L ocal
Keypad are ac tive. T he backlight of the Standby button is green while the backlight of the Light button is w hite. The projector status
light is continuous green (in normal condition, no errors and no warnings). The laser status light remains off.
In PRECO NDITIONED m ode the chillers are operational and the heat dissipation of the DMD s is under control. Heat dissipated by
the active formatter boards is rem oved . Ingesting of content, creating playlist, etc. is already possible on the ICMP. Also the creation
of m acros etc. is po ssible if tha t is feasible without pro
jecting an ima ge (lasers are not active).
Stage 6 : Projector is Operational and in CONDITIONING mode. This p rocess starts as soon as the Light button is pressed
for 3 seconds (reference C image 6-1). The las er status light on the top of the projector flashes a few times and then lights up
continuously w hite. The sealed compartments are cooling down from am bient to operating temperature and humidity is extracted.
The conditioning pro cess takes approximately 3 to 15 m inutes (depends on the environme ntal conditions). Following sub-stages
take place during CO NDITIONING :
Stage 6.1 : Checking am bient and internal c
onditions.
Stage 6.2 : Turning pu mp on. Reaching liqu
id flow target.
Stage 6.3 : Flow target reached. Cond iti
oning humidity in the projector.
Stage 6.4 : Cooling started.
Stage 6.5 : Reaching liquid temperatu
re ta rget.
During CONDITIONING the ba cklight of the Light button is blinking green. The projector status light is continuous green (in normal
condition, no errors an d no warnings).
Stage 7 : Projector is Operational and CO NDITIONED. Temperature and hum idity inside the sealed compartments are within
specifications and the lasers are activated. Image is projected on the s creen in case the dowser is open and a source or test pattern
is selected. The projector status light is continuous gree n (in normal condition, no errors and no warnings) and the laser status light
on the top of the projector lights up continuously white.
Stage 8 : P rojector is in O p erational and in DECONDITIONING mode. This process s tarts as soo n as t he S tandby button or Light
button is pres sed for 3 sec onds (reference D image 6-1) while the projector is in conditioning or conditioned mode. The DE CONDI-
TIONING mode brings the sy
stem back to the PR EC ON DITIONED state. The laser status light on the top of the projector rem ains
lighting up white. The sealed com partments are brought back to ambient temperature a nd humidity extraction is stopped. The de-
conditioning pr ocess takes a few minutes and during this process the backlight of the Light button is blinking white. The projector
status light is contin
uous green (in normal condition, no errors an d no wa rnings).
