7.3 Power Off the projector

How to power off the projector

  1. While the projector is in ON mode, press and hold the Standby button on the local keypad, or the Power Off button on the remote control, to shut down the light source of the projector.

    Note: If the auto lights source off feature is enabled, the projector will automatically transition to READY mode if no sync is detected on the chosen source input (default time-out 15 minutes). For more info, see the Pulse OSD or Pulse Prospector manual.

    The projector will switch from ON to READY mode first in order to run through a cool down phase.

  2. While the projector is in READY mode, press and hold the Standby button on the local keypad, or the Power Off button on the remote control, to bring the projector from the READY mode in the STANDBY mode.

    Note: If the auto standby feature is enabled, the projector will automatically transition to STANDBY mode if no activity is happening on the projector (default time-out 15 minutes). For more info, see the Pulse OSD or Pulse Prospector manual.

  3. While the projector is in STANDBY mode, press and hold the Standby button on the local keypad, or the Power Off button on the remote control, to bring the projector from the STANDBY mode in the ECO STANDBY mode.

    Note: If the auto standby feature is enabled, the projector will automatically go to ECO STANDBY mode after a time-out (default time–out 15 minutes). For more info, see the Pulse OSD or Pulse Prospector manual.
Note: Some actions (like applying a grey test pattern) are done during the two minutes of the cool down phase. This is done in order to minimize the potential effect of burn-in and increase the projector lifetime.
Caution: Never switch off the projector by means of unplugging the mains cord or by cutting down the mains power.
Note: Barco advises to keep the projector always powered and use the ECO STANDBY mode for low power consumption.
How to unplug the projector
  1. Follow the previous power off procedure to switch off the projector.

  2. Wait at least two minutes.

    Caution: It is very important to wait few minutes before unplugging the power cord. If the cool down phase is not adhered, projector lifetime could be degraded.

  3. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet or unplug it from the projector.

    Note: Some power cords have a clip that must be pressed to release the cord from the projector.
