Author Topic: Barco DP2000 Bulb Shutting Off During Show Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 12-31-2015 02:19 PM                     I had similar issues with this and found that a spring loaded flue damper in the exhaust (for fire code reasons) had let go causing very little air flow due to the damper closing the air duct, which caused my high temp shutdowns. I did a quick fix with wiring open the damper to get my exhaust flow back to where it needs to be and had someone come out and professionally repair the damper. That's usually the area I check first if I have high temp bulb shutdowns...is my exhaust...just been too well trained in this area when carbon arc and xenon issues when my exhaust fan likes to let go. Good luck, Kevin - Monte  |  IP: Logged Kevin Roudebush Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Salem, OR, USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 12-31-2015 02:47 PM                     Nope... didn't work. Bulb shut off last night about 5pm. Lowered the amps and ran rest of night. Turned off 10 min into first film today. Macros set up to bump amps back up on boot. In addition, looks like we have an intermittent fan cooling the light tube. Extra fan set up blowing and that is keeping the temp down. Intermittent problems the worst.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 12-31-2015 04:55 PM                     Kevin: LOGS! You're shooting in the dark!  |  IP: Logged Kevin Roudebush Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Salem, OR, USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 01-04-2016 08:39 PM                     Marco - I think my tech guys were looking at the logs, they just weren't specific enough to find the specific issue from what I understood. Isn't that possible?  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 01-05-2016 01:41 PM                     It is. But then it means that light engine, coolant, light engine temperature are not involved. Hence cleaning the filters is not going to help! If it's a generic error then it's either the lamp or the ballast - check the led behaviour on them when the lamp turns off. Try a different brand maybe.  |  IP: Logged
