Victory II 250 Maintenance
Access to inside
Victory has a particular way of access to the inside of the projector. Remaining fixed as installed, the
projector can be opened exactly halfway in longitudinal direction, thus allowing easy access to the
inner parts in order to carry out any necessary operation, be it cleaning, lamp change or service of any
mechanical or electrical part.
To open the projector, unscrew the 2 knobs on the front (Fig. 1), taking care that the lower part does
not drop downwards suddenly when the screws are undone. A locking lever (Fig. 3) will automatically
hold it open at maximum travel.
Lamp mounting or replacement
WARNING
: Before replacing the lamp:
- Evaluate the effective necessity to replace the lamp (average lamp life about 300 h).
- Disconnect the projector from the mains.
- If the projector was on, before opening it, wait for the lamp and the internal
mechanical parts to cool down (10÷30 minutes)
Remove the burnt-out lamp. Be extremely careful not to touch the optics, the
parabola and the lamp with bare hands, since the residuals subjected to high tem-
peratures burn, causing the parts to blacken and irreparably damaging the lamp.
Proceed with mounting the new lamp placing it carefully in its housing.
FOR GOOD PROJECTION IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE LAMP FITS PER-
FECTLY IN THE SOCKET.
After each lamp replacement it is recommended to carry out a complete cleaning
cycle.
After carrying out the necessary operations, before pushing the lower part
towards the top (Fig. 2) to close the projector, release the locking lever lifting it
towards the top (Fig. 3). Screw down the 2 knobs one after the other, taking care
that these have properly hooked the lower part to prevent it from suddenly drop-
ping downwards.
Projector cleaning / Periodic checks
Cleaning the optics - internally and externally - is determining for maximum lumi-
nous yield and should periodically be carried out. The cleaning frequency above all depends on the
place where the projector operates. In particular, a humid environment with a great deal of smoke or
dust favours greater accumulation of dirt on the projector optics. Clean with a soft cloth using normal
window-cleaning products or denatured alcohol, always carefully drying the parts. Clean the external
optics at least every 15-20 days and the internal optical unit (condenser lenses, parabola) and gobo unit
