4.10 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 in the Power menu (see Pulse OSD user guide) the projector will automatically go to READY mode after a time-out if no sync is detected on the chosen source input (default 15 minutes).

    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 in the Power menu (see Pulse OSD user guide) the projector will automatically go to STANDBY mode after a time-out if no activity is happening on the projector (default 15 minutes).

  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 in the Power menu (see Pulse OSD user guide) the projector will automatically go to ECO STANDBY mode after a time-out (default 15 minutes).
Note: Some actions like apply a grey test pattern are done during the two minutes of the cool down phase 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 mains cord or by cut down of mains power.
Note: Barco advises to keep the projector always powered and use the ECO STANDBY mode for low power consumption.
