What is the 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/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 and the horizontal clearance to the hazard zone must be a minimum 1.0 meters (3.3 feet).

EXTREME BRIGHTNESS! Do not place reflective objects in the product light path.


How are the hazard zones for light intensity defined?

A – Hazard zone. The region of space where the projection light from the 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.

F – Represents the side view of the projector.

What are the projector power modes?

The projector operates with the following power modes:

Mode Description
Standby

CineLife+ electronics remain on standby with the light engine off.

Fans, laser optical sub-systems (LOS) or xenon lamp, and thermo-electric cooler (TEC) devices are off.

Integrated Media Block (IMB) is off-IMB automation does not function.

Fire alarm does not function.

Standby (IMB On)

CineLife+ electronics and the IMB are powered on with the light engine off.

Power is available to the optional touch panel and laser optical sub-systems (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.

Projector on

CineLife+ electronics and light engine are on.

LOS and TEC devices are off.

Chiller is on (CP4440-RGB, CP4445-RGB, CP4450-RGB, and CP4455-RGB projectors only).

IMB is on.

Light source on

CineLife+ electronics and light engine are on.

LOS and TEC devices are on.

Fans run at full speed.

Chiller is on (CP4440-RGB, CP4445-RGB, CP4450-RGB, and CP4455-RGB projectors only).

IMB is on.


What is the correct system operation sequence for external chiller-based RGB projectors?

Understand the correct sequence for powering up and operating CP4440-RGB, CP4445-RGB, CP4450-RGB, and CP4455-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.

Christie recommends powering on the projector 30 minutes before use to allow time for the chiller to set the coolant to the set 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.


How do I turn the projector on or off?

What is the workflow for LiteLOC™ sensor-to-screen calibration?

LiteLOC™ sensor-to-screen calibration requires the following:

Spectroradiometer

Service user is the minimum level user access

The recommended workflow is as follows:

1. Create a new calibration file.

2. Recalibrate the calibration file, if required.

3. Edit the existing calibration file parameters on the Sensor-to-screen menu, if required.

4. Verify the calibration, if required.

5. Add the calibration file to the Channel Setup.


How do I create a new LiteLOC™ sensor-to-screen calibration file?

1. Set up a spectroradiometer to obtain screen measurements later in the process.

2. In the left navigation menu, select Color Settings > Sensor-to-screen Calibration.

3. To create a new calibration file, select Create. The projector checks if the light source is on and the douser is open. If either condition is not met, a warning dialog is displayed prompting you to make sure these conditions are met before starting the wizard.

4. In the Create dialog, enter a name for the new calibration file and select Create.

5. In step 1 of the Sensor-to-screen Calibration wizard, set the maximum brightness and color point.

a) Enable the Display White Test Pattern option.

b) Adjust the RGB sliders to set the brightness and color point.

c) Select Next.

6. Wait 20 minutes for the projector to stabilize or select Skip during the stabilization time period.

7. In step 2 of the Sensor-to-screen Calibration wizard, measure and enter the screen values.

a) To trigger the measurement at a specific operating point, under Sensor to screen, select Capture. The projector automatically sets the red, green, and blue output laser powers to the pre-determined settings. A 30 second countdown begins to allow the projector white point and brightness to stabilize. At the end of the countdown period, the Color Sensor values fields are automatically populated.

b) When the countdown ends, take x, y, and fL measurements using the spectroradiometer.

c) Under Measured Values, using the numeric keypad record the associated spectroradiometer values for x, y, and fL.

d) Repeat steps a to c for the remaining drive percentage set points until all x, y, and fL values are entered.

e) Once all the color sensor and measured values are entered for all rows, select Apply and Save.

8. Verify and complete the calibration.

a) Select a white point to measure by selecting either the DCI, D65, or Custom white point buttons.

b) Using a spectroradiometer, measure screen x and y values at the center of the screen.

c) When complete, select Finish.


How do I recalibrate an existing calibration file?

1. Select Menu > Color Settings > Sensor-to-screen Calibration.
