WARRANTY
For complete information about Christie’s limited warranty, please contact your Christie Dealer. In addition to the other limitations that may be 
specified in Christie’s limited warranty, the warranty does not cover: 
   (a) Damage occurring during shipment, in either direction. 
   (b) Projector lamps (See Christie’s separate lamp program policy). 
   (c) Damage caused by use of a projector lamp beyond the recommended lamp life, or use of a lamp supplied by a supplier other than Christie. 
   (d) Problems caused by combination of the equipment with non-Christie equipment, such as distribution systems, cameras, video tape record-
ers, etc., or use of the equipment with any non-Christie interface device. 
   (e) Damage caused by misuse, improper power source, accident, fire, flood, lightening, earthquake or other natural disaster. 
   (f) Damage caused by improper installation/alignment, or by equipment modification, if by other than Christie service personnel.
   (g) For LCD projectors, the warranty period specified applies only where the LCD projector is in ‘normal use. “Normal use” means the LCD pro-
jector is not used more than 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. For any LCD projector where ‘normal use” is exceeded, warranty coverage under 
this warranty terminates after 6000 hours of operation.
    (h) Failure due to normal wear and tear.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventative maintenance is an important part of the continued and proper operation of your projector. Please see the Maintenance section for 
specified maintenance items as they relate to your projector and/or model. Failure to perform maintenance as required, and in accordance with 
the maintenance schedule specified by Christie, will void the warranty.

1 Introduction
RPMX/RPMSP-D132U and RPMSP-D180U are professional quality XGA and SXGA+ data projectors 
featuring the latest in DLP™ display technology to achieve high brightness, high resolution multimedia and 
video projection images. These projectors use Christie’s exclusive KoRE™ electronics and firmware to accept 
data, graphics, and video input signals for projection onto flat, front or rear projection screens. 
The modular design of these projectors makes them an ideal choice for rear screen projection and multi-display 
walls. With built-in flexibility, each projector can be configured for straight throw or 90° mirrored applications. 
The 6-axis adjustment mechanism enables accurate alignment of the lens to the screen minimizing distortion at 
all corners and edges of the display. 
A dual lamp hot swappable system allows the projector to operate with minimal downtime. The mechanical 
lamp changer enables an automatic lamp change to occur when a lamp fails or whenever requested by a user. 
The purpose-built design of these projectors makes them an ideal choice for the demanding needs of 24/7 
command and control centers, telecommunications, surveillance and broadcasting applications.

See Section 7 Specifications for a complete list of product specifications. 
1.2 How the projector works
The user selects which lamp will be in operation through the Lamp Menu; Lamp #1 or Lamp #2. After the 
lamp ignites, the light generated is sequentially filtered into the RGB color primaries by the spinning color 
wheel in the light engine of the projector. This filtered light is then presented to the single chip DMD, located 
in the light engine. The reflected light from the DMD chip then passes through the projection lens to the screen 
to display the image.
1.3 Components
Make sure you have received these components before using the projector. 
• Line Cord (rated, North American)
• Configuration bracket (shipped loose, for horizontal configuration)
• 6xM6 screws (for installation of configuration bracket)
NOTE: A User’s Kit is provided with each projection system. Additional User’s Kits can be purchased 
separately (part number 102-144100-XX).
1.4 Additional Tools Required
Keep these tools on hand during installation and setup:
#1 Phillips screw driver
