SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
The chassis of this projector is isolated (COLD) from AC line by using the converter transformer. Primary side of
the converter and lamp power supply unit circuit is connected to the AC line and it is hot, which hot circuit is identified with the line (

) in the schematic diagram. For continued product safety and protection of personnel

injury, servicing should be made with qualified personnel.

The following precautions must be observed.

PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE

Product safety should be considered when a component replacement is made in any area of the projector.
Components indicated by mark
in the parts list and the schematic diagram designate components in which
safety can be of special significance. It is, therefore, particularly recommended that replacement of there parts
must be made by exactly the same parts.

SERVICE PERSONNEL WARNING

Eye damage may result from directly viewing the light produced by the lamp used in this equipment. Always
turn off lamp before opening cover .The Ultraviolet radiation eye protection required during this servicing.
Never turn the power on without the lamp to avoid electric-shock or damage of the devices since the stabilizer
generates high voltages (15kV-25kV) at its starts.
Since the lamp is very high temperature during units operation replacement of the lamp should be done at least
45 minutes after the power has been turned off, to allow the lamp cool-off.

Warning

Put on the Static Electricity Ring when starting for repair.

Repair Environment suggest in Clean-room class 10000. Do not remove Optical Engine
or DMD panel outside the clean room. Please return the optical engine to supplier if your
repair condition can not meet the requirement.

While screwing or unscrewing screws, please keep the screwdriver straight. Keeping
screwdriver inclined will damage the screw holes.

Please turn off the power before replacing any parts.

Please wait for the projector lamp cooling down and turn off the power before changing it.
Never touch or hit the lamp module when replacing the lamp.

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting
This chapter provides technicians with electronic background how to maintain the product.
Moreover, you can get the appropriate operation to solve some complicated problems of
component repairing and professional problems.
3.1 LED Lighting Message
Warning
Do not directly look into the lens to avoid eyesight damages.
The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) and ventilation holes (exhaust).
Do not block or place anything near these slots, or internal heat build-up may occur, causing
picture degradation or damage to the projector.
Confirm Software and hardware

(1) Confirm lamp using hours

(2) Confirm LED indicator
The Status Indicator Panel on top of the projector indicates the state of the projector and can help
you troubleshoot.

(3) Confirm cable connection well.

Note: Swapping modules that may be defective with others known to be good is generally an ideal way to
find the module responsible for the problem. A failure symptom is rarely caused by more than one module,
so you will not usually need to replace more than one to correct a particular failure. Whatever main board,
ballast, IR board, power board, lamp module or optical engine are all suitable to check by swapping
modules.
