Section 5: Maintenance
5.1.3 Projector Location 
Operate the projector in an environment, which meets the operating range as specified in Section 6 – Specifica-
tions.
• Do not operate the projector close to water, such as near a swimming pool. Do not operate in extremely 
humid environments.
• Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand or table. A projector and cart combination must be 
used with care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the projector and cart com-
bination to overturn.
• Do not ceiling mount this projector.
5.1.4 Lamps
Lamps require replacement when they have reached their end of life (see Section 6 – Specifications for lamp 
hours and specifications) if they have failed during operation, or have a drastic change in brightness (typical of 
aging lamps). To effectively maintain operation of the projector, be aware of changes that occur in brightness 
and the duration of each lamp. Refer to Section 5.4.1 Replacing a lamp for more details on lamp replacement.
Follow all safety and warning precautions regarding lamp replacement and handling.
 Wait approximately 5 minutes to allow the lamp to cool before removing. 
 Do not stick hands into the lamp compartment during lamp replacement. 
 The lamp is under great pressure when hot and may explode causing physical injury
and/or property damage. Allow a lamp to cool before handling and/or powering down and unplugging
the projector. 
Use only the lamps supplied by CHRISTIE, in the Lamp Replacement Kit for these projectors.

5.1.5 Power Cord and Attachments
Use only the attachment accessories recommended by CHRISTIE. Use of others may result in the risk of fire, 
shock or personal injury.
 Use only the AC power cord supplied. Do not operate if the AC supply exceeds the
specified voltage and power range. See Section 7.
• Do not place items on the power cord. Place the projector where the cord cannot be walked on or have 
objects rolling over it.
• Operate the projector only at the specified voltage. Do not overload power outlets and extension cords as this 
can result in fire or shock hazards.
• The projector is equipped with a three-wire grounding plug. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet 
contact an electrician to replace the outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of this grounding-type plug. 
5.1.6 Ventilation
Slots and vents in the projector provide ventilation for reliable operation and prevent overheating. Do not 
block or cover these openings.
• Do not place the projector over a radiator or heat register. 
• Do not place the projector in an enclosure without proper ventilation.
• Do not “poke” objects into the ventilation openings of the projector. They may touch dangerous voltages or 
short-out components resulting in a fire or shock hazard. 
• Do not spill liquids into the projector. If a spill occurs, unplug the projector immediately and have it serviced 
by a 
CHRISTIE accredited service technician.
5.1.7 Servicing
If any of these conditions exist, immediately unplug the projector from the power outlet and ask a qualified 
service technician to look at it.
• The power cord is damaged.
• The internal cooling fans do not turn on when the projector is first powered up. 
• Liquid is spilled into the projector.
• The projector is exposed to excessive moisture.
• The projector is not operating normally or its performance has significantly deteriorated in a short period of 
time.
• The projector is dropped or the shipping case (if applicable) is badly damaged.
 Do not service the projector yourself. All servicing must be performed by CHRISTIE
accredited service technicians.
Only use replacement parts that are manufacturer-approved. Using parts not specified by the
manufacturer can result in fire, electric shock or risk of personal injury and irreparable equipment
damage.

Section 5: Maintenance
 Do not service the projector while it is connected to AC. There are exposed voltages
that could cause severe physical injuries and possibly death. Disconnect the projector from AC and wait
2 minutes to allow the capacitors on the power supply to discharge before removing the projector’s
covers. 
5.2 Cleaning and Maintenance Guide
 Power down the projector and disconnect all power sources before cleaning or
servicing.
Table 5.1 Table 4.1. Maintenance Guide
Part DescriptionFrequencyHow to cleanProjection Lens  As requiredCLEAN: A small amount of dust on the lens has very little effect on picture 
quality. Clean only if absolutely necessary.
To clean: Moisten a clean (not-reused), lint-free cloth with a high-quality 
optical cleaning fluid. Wipe the cloth in a single continuous motion across the 
lens surface. Discard the cloth after cleaning. Use compressed air to remove 
any particles remaining on the lens.
NEVER
 use a cleaning solvent that contains ammonia. Avoid lens contact with 
Xylene and Ether.
Lamp Module (glass 
exit window only)As requiredClean (glass only): It is important to never touch the glass surface of the lamp. 
Any oil left by fingerprints will seriously degrade a lamp’s performance or 
cause “hotspots”, which can lead to an accumulation of intense heat in the 
touched area and cause the lamp to shatter. Clean the glass exit surface of the 
lamp module only when absolutely necessary.
To clean: Wa i t until the lamp is completely cool. Moisten a clean, lint-free 
cotton cloth with isopropyl alcohol and gently wipe the surface of the glass in a 
circular motion until clean.
10000 hours
or sooner, if 
requiredREPLACE: Aged lamps that show a drastic reduction in brightness or have 
their end of life must be replaced immediately. Refer to 
5.4.1 Replacing a 
lamp, on page 5-6
.
External Projector 
CoversAs requiredCLEAN: Clean dust from external covers using a clean, lint-free cotton cloth as 
required.
NOTE: Install the lens cap before cleaning the modules. This will 
prevent dust particles from settling on the glass surface of the lens
.

5.4 Lamp Replacement
The RPMX/RPMSP-D132U projector includes 2 132W UHP lamps and the RPMSP-D180U projector 
includes 2 180W UHP lamps; however, only one lamp is operated at any given time. The other lamp is held in 
reserve until the user chooses to switch lamps operation modes or a lamp fails. The projector allows the lamp 
not in operation to be replaced without powering down the projector and while the other lamp is still on. It is 
recommended the projector be turned off during lamp replacement, this feature benefits applications where 
downtime must be kept to a minimum.
When do I replace a lamp? Lamps that show a reduction in brightness or have reached their end of life 
must be replaced immediately. To check the hours each lamp is in use, look at the number of 
LAMP HOURS in 
individual lamp submenus or in the Status menu. From the Lamp menu, you can set a 
LAMP LIMIT and enable 
the projector to send a warning message when it’s powered on to indicate the lamps have reached their set 
limit. See Section 4.10.1 The Lamp Menu for more information.
At anytime during operation, you can check the status of a lamp by checking the lamp status in individual lamp 
submenus – More, Lamp 1 or More, Lamp 2. A status message for the lamp specifies a specific failure that may 
require further investigation and may be directly related to the lamp. If, through investigation, you rule out the 
cause being an aged lamp or another component in the projector, it may indicate that your lamp has 
prematurely burned out or failed (check status LEDs and/or error codes through RS-232, if possible). Burned 
out lamps or lamps that have failed due to a flaw must be replaced as soon as possible. 
In general, monitor the performance of your projector and replace lamps as needed.

 Do not stick your hands in an empty lamp compartment. 
6. Touch the new only lamp by its handle. Align it with the terminal plug located on the side wall of the lamp 
compartment. Insert the lamp all the way in until it is fully seated – the lamp connector will plug into the 
terminal plug.
7. Tighten the (3) lamp screws on the new lamp module to “lock” it in place. Lower the lamp handle until it 
clips in place.
 Put the lamp handle flat before requesting a lamp position change.
8. If the other lamp requires replacement, change the lamp position (Figure 5-6) to access the other lamp. Let 
the lamp cool and replace it using the steps described earlier in this procedure. 
9. Each new lamp is supplied with a lamp card that contains lamp specific information such as the serial 
number. Replace the card in the PHM when a lamp is replaced. The projector will detect the new card and 
read the new lamp serial number when the projector is powered ON.
