Circuit Protections This projector provides the following circuit protections to operate in safety. If the abnormality occurs inside the pro- jector, it will automatically turn off by operating one of the following protection circuits. Fuses (F601, F602, F603) Fuses are located inside of the projector. When the POW- ER/LAMP indicators are not lighting, one of the fuses may be opened.
Circuit Protections Thermostats (SW903, SW904, SW905, SW906) There are the thermostat switches (SW903, SW904, SW905 and SW906) inside of the projector to detect the internal temperature rising abnormally. When the internal temperature reaches near 90˚C, the thermostat opens to stop the operation of the power supply circuit. The thermostat will automatically return to normal condition when the inter- nal temperature becomes normal.
Circuit Protections Temperature sensors, wind sensors The projector provides temperature sensor ICs, 1 sensor on the Main board and 1 sensor on the Ex Temp board, and 1 wind sensor on the intake duct. The sensor ICs monitor surrounding temperature of the panels/prism, and surrounding temperature of the intake duct, and the wind sensor monitors airflow passed through the air filter in the intake duct.
Circuit Protections Power failure, fan lock and filter error detection The projector provides the detection circuits of the power failure, the fan lock and the AMC filter error. When the de- tection circuit detects an error at the power supply line, at the fan operation circuit or at the AMC filter control circuit, the projector will turn into the standby mode to protect the other circuits defective.
Maintenance Maintaining the AMC unit Press the ON/STAND-BY button on the side control or the STAND-BY button on the remote control, flip the Main On/Off Switch off, and then unplug the AC power AMC unit cord from the AC outlet. Remove the dust on the projector and air vents.
Maintenance Replacing the Filters Filters prevents dust from accumulating on the optical elements inside the projector. Should the filter becomes clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effectiveness and may result in internal heat buildup and ad- versely affect the life of the projector. Clean up around the intake vent diligently. Press the ON/STAND-BY button on the side control or the STAND-BY button on the remote control, flip the Main On/Off Switch off, and then unplug the AC power...
Maintenance Resetting the Filter counter Filter counter Be sure to reset the filter counter after replacing the filters. Press the MENU button to display the On-Screen Menu. Use the Point ed buttons to select [Setting] and then press the Point 8 button or the SELECT button. Use the Point ed buttons to select [Filter counter] and the press the SELECT button.
Maintenance Lamp management This Projector is equipped with 4 Projection Lamps to en- sure brighter image and those lamps are controlled by LAMP rePLAce indicator the Lamp Management Function. The Lamp Management Function detects the status of lamps and shows the status on screen or on the LAMP REPLACE indicators.
Maintenance Lamp replacement When the projection lamp of the projector reaches its end of life, the Lamp replacement icon appears on the screen and LAMP REPLACE indicator lights. Replace the lamp with a new one after it has cooled down. The timing when the LAMP REPLACE indicator lights up is depending on the mode that you specified for the Lamp control function.
Maintenance Checking the projector used time and lamp used time The LAMP REPLACE indicator will light yellow when the total lamp used time (Corresponding value) reaches 3,000 hours. This is to indicate that lamp replacement is required. The total lamp used time is calculated by using the below expression, Total lamp used time (Corresponding value) = eco + ( normal x 1.5)
Maintenance Quick maintenance This projector provides a cabinet front cover and PBS cover on the cabinet top to enhance the service maintenance. This enables service personnel to align the optical adjustment or replace the optical parts without disassembly the cabinet top. Quick access to the Projection lens unit, Lcd panel/prism assy, Polarized glass assy.
Maintenance Cleaning the optical parts After long periods of use, dust and other particles will accumulate on the LCD panel, prism, mirror, polarized glass, lens, etc., causing the picture to darken or color to blur. If this occurs, clean the inside of optical unit. Remove dust and other particles using air spray.
Security Function Notice This projector provides security functions such as "Key lock", "PIN code lock" and "Logo PIN code lock". When the projector has set these security function on, you are required to enter correct PIN code to use the projector. If you do not know the correct PIN code to the projector, the projector can no longer be operated or started.
