Model 335 Supplement

6.  If none of the previous procedures cure the problem of low 
brightness, it may be time to replace the Xenon Arc Lamp. Low 
brightness could be caused by a lamp with over 1200 hours of use 
or one that has been turned on and off many times. If either of 
these is the case, the Lamphouse Assembly must be returned to 
be relamped. 

Do not remove the Xenon Arc Lamp from the 

lamphouse

-return the entire unit. 

7.  Verify that the cold mirror, condensing lens, and UV filter are 
all free from stains and cracks. 

8.  The Model 335 should always be able to achieve a minimum of 
3000 lumens of brightness level. Use a light meter, after the 
above adjustments are completed, to measure the foot-candles of 
light output at the screen and multiply this number by the area of 
the screen in square feet. As an example, if the screen area is 15 
x 20 =300 square feet and the light output on the light meter 
measures 11 foot-candles, the brightness level in lumens equals 
300 x 11=3300 lumens.  
 

4.0 Electronics Module Removal and Replacement 

The Electronics Module is the entire assembly to the rear of the 
Arc Lamp and optics assemblies. It consists of the System Power 
Supply, High Voltage Power Supply, Main PCB Card Cage, and 
CRT Housing Assembly. Refer to Figure 2-2 in the Series 300 
Operator’s Manual (the CRT Housing Assembly is next to the 
High Voltage Power Supply and is not shown in Figure 2-2). 

To remove and replace the Electronics Module: 

1.  Unplug the projector. 

2.  Free the power cord from the electronics module by removing 
the cable clamp(s) on the right side base of the electronics 
module. 

3.  On the left side of the card cage, detach the power supply 
jumper cable from P/J81. 

4.  At the rear of the projector, remove the three fan housing 
screws (located under the rear lip of the projector baseplate) and 
remove the fan housing. Carefully, loosen and move the attached 
wires aside. 

5.  On the left side of the card cage, unplug connectors P82 and 
P83 from the back plane and move the wiring harness out of the 
way (separate these wires from others to free them if necessary).
