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. In addition, only Christie accredited personnel are authorized to perform
security procedures such as marriage.
This section provides information and procedures for positioning and installing the projector.
1.1 Safety Precautions
When installing the projector, observe these important safety rules to avoid personal injury or damage to the
projector:
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 clothing 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.

tripped over.
This projector must be operated in an environment that meets the operating range specification, as listed in
Appendix A: Projector Specifications on page A-1.
1.1.1 AC/Power Precautions
• Use only the AC power cord that is provided with the projector. DO NOT attempt operation
if the AC supply is not within the specified voltage and power range.
• As a safety feature the projector is equipped with a three-wire plug with a third (grounding)
pin. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to have the
outlet replaced. DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
• DO NOT attempt operation if the AC supply is not within the rated voltage range, as speci-
fied on the license label.
• Disconnect projector from AC before opening any enclosure.
• DO NOT allow anything to rest on the power cord. Locate the projector where the cord can-
not be damaged by persons walking on it or objects rolling over it. Never operate the projector if the power cable appears damaged in any way.

significant pressure when hot and cold, and may explode, causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
Any lamp used in the Solaria One is under high pressure and must be handled with great care at all times.
Lamps may explode if dropped or mishandled.
Protective Clothing
Never open the lamp door unless you are wearing protective clothing such as that included in a Christie
Protective Clothing Safety Kit (P/N: 598900-095). 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. NOTE: Christie’s protective clothing recommendations are subject to change. Any local or federal
specifications take precedence over Christie recommendations.
Cool the Lamp Completely
Lamp may explode causing bodily harm or death. Always wear protective
clothing whenever lamp door is open or while handling lamp. Ensure those within the vicinity
of the projector are also suited with protective clothing. Never attempt to access the lamp
