15 Maintenance
This section provides information and procedures for performing projector maintenance. You should read
through this section in its entirety before performing maintenance activities. When you perform projector
maintenance, obey all warnings and precautions.
15.1 Inspect Ventilation
Vents and louvers in the projector covers provide ventilation, both for intake and exhaust. Never block or cover
these openings. Do not install the projector near a radiator, heat register, or within an enclosure. To ensure
adequate airflow around the projector, keep a minimum clearance of 50cm (19.69”) on the left and right sides
of the projector.
It is recommended that you periodically check that the LVPS fan is operating. It is not monitored and a failure
can cause damage to the projector.
15.2 Inspect the Lamp
Always disconnect from AC and wear authorized protective safety gear.
• Check the contact surfaces of the anode (positive) and the cathode (negative) connections for cleanliness.
• Clean electrical contact surfaces every 5000 hours or after two lamp changes to prevent contact resistance
from scorching connectors. Use an approved contact cleaner.
• Verify that all electrical and lamp connections are secure.
15.3 Inspect and Clean Optics
Unnecessary cleaning of optics can increase the risk of degrading delicate coatings and surfaces. If you are not
a qualified service technician, you can only inspect and clean the lens. Do not perform maintenance on other
optical components. Check these components periodically in a clean, dust-free environment using a high-
intensity light source or flashlight. Clean them only when dust, dirt, oil, fingerprints or other marks are obvious
on the projected image. Never touch an optical surface with your bare hands. Always wear latex lab gloves.
These are the recommend tools for removing dust or grease:
• Soft camel-hair brush
• Dust-free blower - filtered dry nitrogen blown through an anti-static nozzle.
• Dust-free lens tissue, such as Melles Griot Kodak tissues (18LAB020), Opto-Wipes (18LAB022), Kim
Wipes or equivalent.
• For the lens only - lens cleaning solution such as Melles Griot Optics Cleaning Fluid 18LAB011 or equiva-
lent
• Cotton swabs with wooden stems.
• Lens cleaning cloth or microfiber such as Melles Griot 18LAB024 or equivalent.
