Interval of lamp replacement
When the lamp shutdown notice is issued, the lamp replacement is recommended even if the lamp is lit normally. Decrease in lumines- cence and/or color brightness indicates that the lamp needs to be replaced. When the lamp operation time exceeds the time elapsed until the lamp shutdown notice*1 is issued, the indicator will blink alter- nately green and red while the lamp is lit (while the lamp is not lit, the indicator will blink red only) and the lamp replacement message will appear on the screen for one minute every time the lamp is turned on. When the lamp operation time exceeds the time elapsed until the lamp shutdown warning*2 is issued, the replacement message (LAMP EXCHANGE) will appear on the screen for one minute at fixed inter- vals*4 thereafter.
When the lamp operation time exceeds the time elapsed until the lamp shutdown*3, the projector automatically shuts off and can’t be used until the lamp is replaced and the lamp operation time is reset.
*1 3000 Hours
*2 3800 Hours
*3 4000 Hours*5
The times above are when LAMP MODE of the INSTALLATION menu is set to LOW. When it is set to STANDARD, this duration will be short- ened.
*4 | These intervals vary depending on the lamp mode setting. |
*5 | When LAMP MODE is set to STANDARD, the time elapsed until |
| the lamp shutdown will be shortened to 2000 hours. |
Important:
•Do not open the lamp cover when the projector is set at a ceiling or a high place. Lamp fragments may fall from the inside if the lamp were broken.
Please contact your dealer when you need to replace the lamp with a new one.
