FA101 Projector Lens for 10 Christie Models: DWU2022-HS, D20WU-HS, DWU1612-HS, D16WU-HS and More

FA101 is a long-throw lens for professional projectors (Christie). It is compatible with 10 projector models across one model series. This article presents the lens specifications, installation distance, model compatibility list, and replacement considerations in one place.

I. Lens Specifications

II. Installation Distance

The throw ratio specifications for this model have not yet been recorded. For installation distance, refer to the nameplate on the physical product and the manual, or contact us for calculation based on the on-site dimensions.

III. Compatible Models (10 Models, Christie)

The table below is arranged from newest to oldest by model production date and includes the resolution, brightness, and zoom ratio of the standard lens supplied with each model, making it easy to identify the right option for your project.

The zoom ratio is the zoom factor of the standard lens supplied with the model (upper limit ÷ lower limit of the standard throw ratio range), not the zoom range of the lens described in this article.

Common Features of These Models

The standard lenses supplied with most of these 10 models have throw ratios typically within 1.5-2.0:1. The model described in this article effectively adjusts the focal length range, enabling different image sizes at the same projection distance—the direct reason for replacing the lens. It also retains full lens-shift capability, allowing the image to remain properly aligned after the focal length range is adjusted.

IV. Three Checks Before Replacement

• Verify the panel size. The panel specifications for this model have not yet been recorded. Please send us a photo of the projector nameplate for confirmation.
• Check the interface and locking mechanism. Interfaces are generally compatible across platforms of the same generation, but the locking latch position differs by generation. If the image appears skewed or the edges look soft after installation, the lock is usually not fully engaged; this is not an issue with the lens itself.
• A fixed-focus lens has no zoom adjustment. Image size can only be changed by moving the projector, so the site dimensions must be measured accurately first, with an additional 10–20 cm allowed at the endpoints.

For models outside the list, the safest approach is to send us the projector nameplate and a photo of the original lens for verification—platforms of the same generation often share the same interface, but ordering based solely on a similar model designation carries unnecessary risk.
