MAINTENANCE
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 in the projector base, it should only be replaced
by the same specified value. 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.
KEEPING THE PROJECTOR CLEAN
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.
