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 fuse at the rear of the projector, it should only be replaced by fuse of the same specified
value 20A/250V (fast blow, 6mmx30mm). On the main PCB inside the projector there is also a fuse
rated 2A/250V (fast blow, 5mmx20mm). Should these be damaged call a qualified technician before
replacement. The projector has thermal protection device that will switch off the projector in case of
overheating, should this 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 a qualified technician.
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 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.
Do not use any organic solvent, e.g. alcohol, to clean the housing of the projector.
