WARNING
This manual is intended for professionally trained operators of Christie high-brightness projection systems.
These operators are qualified to replace the lamp and air filter, but should not attempt to install or service the
projector.
Only accredited Christie technicians who are knowledgeable about the hazards associated with high-voltage,
ultraviolet exposure, and the high temperatures generated by the projector lamp are authorized to assemble,
install, and service the projector.
1.1 Labels and Markings
These warning labels can appear on the projector:
Indicates a hazardous situation which that could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation that could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE! Addresses practices not related to personal injury.
Never look directly into the projector lens or at the lamp. The extremely high
brightness can cause permanent eye damage. For protection from ultraviolet radiation, keep
all projector housings intact during operation. Protective safety gear and safety goggles are
recommended when servicing.
FIRE HAZARD! Keep hands, clothes, and all combustible material away from
the concentrated light beam of the lamp.
Position all cables where they cannot contact hot surfaces or be
pulled or tripped over.
1) The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists
(ACGIH) recommends occupational UV exposure for an 8-hour day to be less than 0.1
microwatts per square centimeters of effective UV radiation. An evaluation of your workplace
is advised to assure employees are not exposed to cumulative radiation levels exceeding the
government guidelines for your area. 2) Be aware that some medications are known to
increase sensitivity to UV radiation.

1.2 AC / Power Precautions
To correctly install this projector, a certified electrician must install a permanent a single-phase connection
from the projector to the AC supply. You must operate the projector at the recommended voltage.
1) Disconnect projector from AC before opening any enclosure.
2) High leakage current. Earth connection essential before connecting supply.
1) DO NOT allow anything to rest on the power cord. Locate the projector where the cord
cannot be damaged by people walking on it or by objects rolling over it. Never operate the
projector if the power cable appears damaged in any way.
2) DO NOT overload power outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or shock
hazards.
3) Note that only qualified service technicians are permitted to open any enclosure on the
product and only if the AC has been fully disconnected from the product.
Power Cords and Attachments
1) The North American rated line cord is provided with each projector. Ensure
that you are using a power cord, socket and power plug that meets the appropriate local
rating standards. 2) Use only an AC power cord recommended by Christie. Do not attempt
operation if the AC supply and cord are not within the specified voltage and power range.
Use only the attachments and/or accessories recommended by Christie. Use of others may result in the risk of
fire, shock or personal injury.
1.3 Lamp Precautions
Lamps used in the projector are under high pressure and you must handle them with caution. Lamps can
explode and cause serious personal injury if they are dropped or mishandled.
EXPLOSION HAZARD! Wear authorized protective safety clothing whenever the lamp
door is open.
Recommended protective clothing includes, but may not be limited to a polycarbonate face shield,
protective gloves, and a quilted ballistic nylon jacket or a welder’s jacket. This equipment is included in
included in the Christie Protective Clothing Safety Kit #598900-095.
NOTE: Christie’s protective clothing recommendations are subject to change. Any local or federal specifica-
tions take precedence over Christie recommendations.
Lamp may explode causing bodily harm or death. 1) Always wear protective
clothing whenever lamp door is open or while handling lamp. 2) Verify those within the
vicinity of the projector are also suited with protective clothing. 3) Never attempt to access
the lamp while the lamp is on. Wait at least 10 minutes after the lamp turns OFF before
powering down, disconnecting from AC and opening the lamp door.
The arc lamp operates at a high pressure that increases with temperature. Failure to allow the
lamp to sufficiently cool prior to handling increases the potential for an explosion causing
personal injury or property damage.

2.4 Installation Safety and Warning Guidelines
QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN REQUIRED for all installations. This product must be
installed in a restricted access location.
Never operate the projector without the covers in place.
The projector uses a high-pressure lamp that may explode if improperly handled. Always wear manufacturer approved protective safety clothing (gloves, jacket, face
shield) whenever the lamp door is open or when handling the lamp. Only qualified technicians
should install projector lamps.
To prevent the projector from tipping unexpectedly, you must install the
safety strap on the rear of the projector.
Four or more people are required to safely lift and carry one projection head a
short distance. Remove the lamp before transporting the projector.
Keep the projector level when you lift or transport it. Avoid tilting the projector to the right. This can introduce an air bubble into the coolant hoses that can result in an air
lock and the overheating of the projector.
Section 2: Installation and Setup
Perform a automatic LampLOC™ adjustment when you move, level, or install a
new lamp in the projector.
2.5 Position the Projector
1. Position the projector at an
appropriate throw distance
(projector-to-screen
distance) and vertical
position. Ideally, center the
projector with the screen.
If space is limited, aim the
projector slightly offcenter as shown in Figure
2-2. This increases side
keystoning, but reduces
the horizontal lens offset
required.
2. Attach the supplied safety strap to the back of the projector and fasten it to its mounting surface. Use of the
strap is mandatory to prevent the projector from tipping when a lens or auxiliary lens mount is installed.
NOTE: keep the projector lens surface as parallel to the screen as possible, even if significantly above the
screen center. When a particularly short throw distance combines with a very wide screen, you may have to
forfeit some aim and stay more parallel to the screen. In such cases, some lens offset can reduce the keystone
distortion.

2.6 Adjust Tilt and Level the Projector
The projector’s rear safety strap must be in place before you adjust the
projector’s feet.
DO NOT over-extend the feet. Make sure several threads are engaged into
the projector’s baseplate.
The D4K25 lens should be centered and parallel with the screen. This orientation ensures optimum lens
performance with minimal offset. If this position is not possible (such as when the projector is significantly
higher than the center of the screen), it is better to rely on offset rather than extra tilt.
Use a protractor to measure the degree of screen tilt and then extend or retract the projector feet to match this
angle.
NOTE: The front-to-back tilt of the projector must not exceed 15°. This limit ensures safe lamp operation and
the proper positioning of the liquid cooling reservoir
To adjust the vertical or horizontal position of the projector, extend or
retract the adjustable feet on the bottom of the projector by rotating them.
Once the required adjustment is made, tighten the lock nut.
If you need to adjust the vertical or horizontal position of the projector
beyond what the standard feet allow, you can install two 6 inch extension
rods to increase the amount of adjustment. To install the extension rods
safely:
1. Prop the rear of the projector up to access and remove the two rear
feet. This can be done by one person holding the back end of the
projector up slightly so another person can unthread the feet OR by
propping up the back of the projector with a sturdy object.
2. Add the extension rods to the standard feet.
Figure 2-3 Adjust Feet
3. Thread the newly extended feet back into the projector’s baseplate.
Adjust the feet until the desired tilt is achieved.
4. Lock the feet in place by turning each lock nut until it fits tight against the projector.

2.8 Connect External Exhaust Ducting
Connect the existing outside-venting ductwork to the 8 inch
diameter exhaust port on the top of the projector. Confirm that
there are no obstructions or bends in the ducting, all air intakes
are free of obstructions, and the vane switch at the exit duct
moves freely.
The pre-installed outside-venting duct should be rigid at the
projector and must also include a heat extractor and blower that
maintains a minimum of 450 CFM* when the projector is
operating at less than or equal to 25°C ambient and less than
3,000 feet, when measured at the projector exhaust opening.
• *600 CFM is required in projection rooms with an
ambient temperature above 25°C or located at an
elevation greater than 3000 feet above sea level.
• At minimum, a 10” long, strong metal duct must be
installed at the projector to prevent glass shards
from exiting the duct in the event of a lamp explosion.
Figure 2-7 Connect Exhaust Ducting
2.8.1 Determine the Projector Exhaust CFM Value
Use an airflow meter to measure the ft/min or ft/
sec at the rigid end of the open exhaust duct that
connects to the projector. Take the measurement
at the very end of the duct without the projector
connected. Use this formula to determine the
CFM value for the projector:
Measured linear ft/min x 0.35 = CFM
Table 2.1 Airflow Requirement
Min.
Lamp Type
2.0 kW 450 CFM*
3.0 kW 450 CFM*
Add an extractor or a booster if there is
insufficient airflow. Do not mount the extractor
on the projector as this may introduce some vibration into the image. NOTE: To prevent the projector from
overheating or becoming unsafe, an alarm sounds if the duct is obstructed or a fan fails. It is recommended
that you regularly verify that the exhaust is functioning correctly.

2.14 Connect the Projector to AC Power with a Permanent Connection
1) Certified electrician required. 2) Ground (earth) connection is necessary for
safety. Never compromise safety by returning the current through the ground. 3) Connect
ground
the cable from rubbing against the projector knockout plate and becoming damaged.
When connecting the projector to AC power, follow all electrical codes for your location. In addition, follow
these recommendations:
• A 30A maximum double pole, UL listed wall circuit breaker is required. It must be part of the building
installation and easily accessible.
• Use 10AWG or 8AWG wiring. The distance between the wall circuit breaker and the projector must not
exceed 20 meters using 10AWG cables or 30 meters using 8AWG cables.
• For North American installations, use at least 10AWG copper wires for the connection of the main AC supply to the projector’s ground lug.
• Copper or aluminum are acceptable as conductor wiring material to the terminal block.
1. On the bottom of the projector in the front right corner, loosen the two screws and slide the plate forward to
FIRST to reduce shock hazard from high leakage.
Use an appropriate strain relief connector on the AC supply cable to prevent
expose the terminal block.
Figure 2-12
2. Remove the knockout plate located in the bottom right corner of the front bezel. The AC supply is routed
to the terminal block through an appropriate strain relief mounted on this knockout plate.
3. Connect the AC power source to the terminal block, beginning with the ground lead first. Use an
appropriately sized strain relief connector with the knockout plate provided to ensure adequate
environmental sealing and to prevent the cables from wear and accidentally being torn out. NOTES: 1)
The terminal block accommodates up to an 8 AWG wire. 2) If desired, a 90° strain relief connector can be
used to route the power cable in a downward direction.
