4.1 Normal Start Up
Start up sequence
When AC power is turned on (using the orange
toggle switch on the electronics cage), it seems that
nothing happens for a few seconds. The electronics
module is starting up and initializing itself..
Next, the alpha numeric display on the left front of
the unit will display the message
STARTING. If the unit
has not been turned on for a while and the optical
engine is cool, the message will say
SEARCHING FOR
SIGNAL and the lamp will start.
If the lamp has recently been turned off, and the
optical engine is still hot, the message will read
COOL-
ING DOWN and a 45 second countdown will com-
mence. At the end of the 45 seconds the lamp will
turn on and the lamp fans will start. It shortens lamp
life to turn it on when it is hot, so the fans run for a
minute or so to be sure it is cool.
If you have turned off the lamp using the remote
control the Bengal will start a 45 second cool down.
During this time, you cannot turn the lamp on. At
the end of the cool-down period the alpha numeric
display will say
READY and you can now light the lamp
using the remote control
ON button.
The Bengal will then lock on to the last selected
source. To search for another source press the source
button on the remote control.
After this cooling down period, you can turn on
the lamp. If
AUTO LAMP ON is checked in the Miscella-
neous menu, the lamp will strike (begin to turn on) at
the end of the cooling period.
Shut down sequence
When you turn off the lamp, the fan will continues
to run for a few minutes to cool the
Lamp.
CAUTION
It is bad practice to turn off the Bengal by turn-
ing off the AC power. The lamp does not cool
properly. This may shorten lamp life.
