Maintenance
This section provides information and procedures for performing projector maintenance. You should 
read through this section in its entirety before performing maintenance activities. When you 
perform projector maintenance, obey all warnings and precautions.
Inspect Ventilation
Vents and louvers in the projector covers provide ventilation, both for intake and exhaust. Never 
block or cover these openings. Do not install the projector near a radiator, heat register, or within 
an enclosure. To make sure there is adequate airflow around the projector, keep a minimum 
clearance of 50cm (19.69”) on the left and right sides of the projector.
Check the Coolant Level
The liquid cooling system keeps the digital micromirror device (DMD) heat sinks cool. Check the 
coolant level every 6 months, by removing the top projector lid. The coolant level should be above 
the minimum level indicator. If the liquid cooling system fails, an over-temperature alarm window 
appears in the touch panel controller (TPC). The lamp turns off if the projector enters an over-
temperature state for longer than one minute.
When adding coolant, use the refill bottle with the nozzle provided in the Liquid Coolant Fill Service 
Kit (P/N: 003-001837-XX). When refilling, use caution not to spill or let any of the coolant drip on 
or near the electronics. After filling the reservoir, check the coolant hoses for bends which may 
restrict fluid flow.
If coolant drips on electronics or other nearby components, blot the affected area using a dust-free 
optical grade tissue. It is recommended you blot a few times, discard the tissue and use a new 
tissue to blot the area again. Keep repeating this cycle until the coolant is removed. Then lightly 
moisten a new tissue with deionized water and blot the area again. Use a dry tissue to dry the area.
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE! The coolant used in the projector contains ethylene glycol. Use 
caution when handling. DO NOT ingest coolant. Failure to comply results in death or serious 
injury.
Use JEFFCOOL E105 coolant only. Using unapproved coolant can damage the projector 
damage and void the warranty. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

9. Pull the filter up and out and then wash the radiator filter with water and a mild detergent or 
clean it with compressed air.
10. When the filter is completely dry, reinstall it and then install the service panel and top lid.
Inspect the Lamp
• Check the contact surfaces of the anode (positive) and the cathode (negative) connections for 
cleanliness.
• Clean electrical contact surfaces every 5000 hours or after two lamp changes to prevent contact 
resistance from scorching connectors. Use an approved contact cleaner.
• Verify that all electrical and lamp connections are secure.
Inspect and Clean Optics
Unnecessary cleaning of optics can increase the risk of degrading delicate coatings and surfaces. If 
you are not a qualified service technician, you can only inspect and clean the lens. Do not perform 
maintenance on other optical components. Check these components periodically in a clean, dust-
free environment using a high-intensity light source or flashlight. Clean them only when dust, dirt, 
oil, fingerprints or other marks are obvious on the projected image. Never touch an optical surface 
with your bare hands. Always wear latex lab gloves.
These are the recommend tools for removing dust or grease:
• Soft camel-hair brush
• Dust-free blower - filtered dry nitrogen blown through an anti-static nozzle.
• Dust-free lens tissue, such as Melles Griot Kodak tissues (18LAB020), Opto-Wipes (18LAB022), 
Kim Wipes or equivalent.
Always disconnect the projector from AC power and wear authorized protective safety gear. 
Failure to comply results in death or serious injury. 
						

							   Maintenance
CP2215 Quick Start Guide23020-101295-01 Rev. 1 (11-2013)
• For the lens only - lens cleaning solution such as Melles Griot Optics Cleaning Fluid 18LAB011 or 
equivalent
• Cotton swabs with wooden stems.
• Lens cleaning cloth or microfiber such as Melles Griot 18LAB024 or equivalent.
Clean the Lens
A small amount of dust or dirt on the lens has minimal effect on image quality-to avoid the risk of 
scratching the lens, clean the lens only if absolutely required. 
Remove Dust
1. Brush most of the dust off with a camelhair brush or use a dust-free blower.
2. Fold a microfiber cloth and wipe the remaining dust particles off the lens with the smooth 
portion of the cloth that has no folds or creases. Do not apply pressure with your fingers. 
Instead, use the tension in the folded cloth to remove the dust.
3. If significant dust remains on the lens surface, dampen a clean microfiber cloth with lens 
cleaning solution and wipe gently until clean.
Remove Fingerprints, Smudges, or Oil
1. Brush most of the dust off with a camelhair brush or use a dust-free blower.
2. Wrap a lens tissue around a swab and soak it in lens cleaning solution. The tissue should be 
damp but not dripping.
3. Gently wipe the surface using a figure eight motion. Repeat until the blemish is removed.
Replace the Lamp
• Lamp replacement must be performed by a qualified service technician. Failure to comply 
results in death or serious injury.
• EXPLOSION HAZARD. Wear authorized protective clothing whenever the lamp door is 
open and when handling the lamp. Never twist or bend the quartz lamp body. Use the 
correct wattage lamp supplied by Christie. Failure to comply results in death or serious 
injury.
• Make sure those within the vicinity of the projector are also wearing protective safety 
clothing. Failure to comply results in death or serious injury.
• Never attempt to remove the lamp when it is hot. The lamp is under pressure when hot 
and may explode, causing personal injury, death, or property damage. Allow the lamp to 
cool completely before replacing it. Failure to comply results in death or serious injury.
Improper installation of the lamp can damage the projector. Failure to comply could result in 
death or serious injury.
