Maintenance Fault Protection The projector is equipped with a built-in protection circuit to prevent fire and breakdown due to faults. When the LAMP/COVER LED lights in red 䡬 Measures to be taken 1. Disconnect the power plug from the outlet. 2. Properly install the air filter. See "Air Filter Cleaning" on Page E-45. 3. Properly install the lamp unit cover. See "Replacement of the Lamp Unit" on Page E-42. When the TEMP LED flashes or lights steadily 䡬 Measures to be taken 1.
Maintenance When the power has failed (When all the LED go off with the power ON) 䢇 Measures to be taken 1. Disconnect the power plug from the outlet. 2. Check the following matters and perform the countermeasure properly. Is the ambient temperature in excess of 35°C (95°F)? Are the ventilation vents blocked? Is the air filter blocked? Breakdown of an internal circuit could be the problem. Please use the projector in an operation ambient temperature of 0°C (32°F) to 35°C (95°F).
Maintenance Replacement of the Lamp Unit Guidelines for the replacement of the projection lamp used in this projector are described below. (The time may be shorter depending on usage conditions.) When the usage time exceeds the time described below, the likelihood of rupture increases, the projector will be forced to turn off the projection lamp. When the lamp usage time has exceeded 1400 hours, please replace the lamp unit (available separately).
Maintenance Lamp Unit Replacement Procedure To prevent burns, wait one hour or longer after the lamp has been switched off before performing the following procedure. 1 Remove the lamp unit cover Using a minus screwdriver, loosen the screws of the lamp unit cover, pull in the direction of the arrow, and remove the cover. 2 Loosen the mounting screws of the lamp unit Using a minus screwdriver, loosen the 2 screws of the lamp unit.
Maintenance 5 Reset the lamp usage time Please perform the operation indicated below in the standby mode (*). Operation with the Projector Press these buttons in order while pressing the but- ton. Operation with the Remote Control Resetting of the lamp usage time cannot be performed with the remote control. The LAMP/COVER LED will flash green following this and projection will start. * The power plug is plugged into a power outlet and only the ON/STANDBY LED is lit red.
Maintenance Cleaning the Air Filter The air filter is an important part that prevents the intrusion of dust onto the optical parts and other parts inside the projector. When the air filter becomes blocked, the internal temperature will rise and the rotation of the fan will also increase leading to a reduction of the service life or causing breakdown. In view of this, the air filter should be cleaned regularly (about once a month, when the projector is used 4 hours per day).
Troubleshooting When you think the projector may be out of order, please first check the following matters before requesting repair. Symptom Power does not come on Please check this • Is the power cable connected? Projection lamp does not light • Is the lamp burned out? Reference page E-21 E-42 • Is the lamp unit cover installed? E-43 • Is the air filter installed? E-45 • Is the internal temperature high? If so, the lamp will not light E-40 to protect the projector from damage.
