Whilst every possible precaution has been taken to ensure the trouble-free operation of your 

iSpot 575

, the following peri-

odic maintenance is highly recommended.

To gain access to the internals of the unit refer to section 

14. 

of this manual,

Opening the projector housing.

periodic cleaning
lenses and reflectors

Even a fine layer of dust can reduce the luminous output substantially. Regularly clean all lenses and the reflector using a
soft cotton cloth, dampened with a specialist lens cleaning solution. 

fans and air passages

The fans and air passages must be cleaned approximately every 6 weeks; the period for this periodic cleaning will depend,
of course, upon the conditions in which the projector is operating. Suitable instruments for performing this type of mainte-
nance are a brush and a common vacuum cleaner or an air compressor.

periodic maintenance
lamp

The lamp should be replaced if there is any observable damage or deformation due to heat. This will avoid the danger of
the lamp exploding.

mechanicals

Periodically check all mechanical devices for wear and tear; gears, guides, belts, etc., replacing them if necessary.
Periodically check the lubrication of all components, particularly the parts subject to high temperatures. If necessary, lubri-
cate with suitable lubricant, available from your 

coemar

distributor.

electrical components

Check all electrical components for correct earthing and proper attachment of all connectors, refastening if necessary.

fuse replacement

Locate the fuse, which protects the lamp and electronics, in the base of the 

iSpot 575

.

Using a multimeter, test the condition of the fuse, replacing it with one of equivalent type if necessary.

Attention

Disconnect mains power prior to removing the projector housing.
