If the projector’
s lens becomes damaged or broken it should be replaced. If the lamp becomes
damaged or deformed in any way it must be replaced. If the light from the lamp appears dim this
would normally indicate that it is reaching the end of its life and it should be changed at once, old
lamps run to the extremity of their life can explode. If the projector does not function, check the
fuses on the power socket of the projector, they should only be replaced by fuses of the same
specified value 20A/250V (fast blow, 6mmx30mm). On the main PCB inside the projector there is
also a fuse rated 4A/250V (fast blow, 5mmx20mm). Should these be damaged call a qualified
technician before replacement. The projector has 2 thermal protection devices that will switch off
the projector in case of overheating, should either of these operate, check that the fans are not
blocked, and if they are dirty clean them before switching on the projector again. Check that the
fans are operational, if not call a qualified technician.
Any maintenance work should only be carried out by qualified technicians.
To ensure the reliability of the projector it should be kept clean. It is recommended that the fans
should be cleaned every 15 days. The lens and dichroic colour filters should also be regularly
cleaned to maintain an optimum light output.
Do NOT use any type of solvent on dichroic
colour filters.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoke or
particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’
s optics. A soft
cloth and typical glass cleaning products should be used in cleaning. It is recommended to clean
the external optics at least once every 20 days and clean the internal optics at least once every
30 / 60 days.
Do not use any organic solvent, e.g. alcohol, to clean the housing of the
apparatus.
