Maintenance

Replacing the Projection Lamps

When a lamp fails, be sure to replace it with another EVD lamp (36 volt, 400 watt). These lamps provide the best performance and longest lamp life.

You can order replacement lamps from In Focus. Refer to “Accessories” on page 53 for information.

Follow these steps to replace the lamps.

1.Press the “Ο” side of the LitePro’s power switch. Then, allow the LitePro to cool thoroughly (at least 20 minutes).

Allow the LitePro to cool for at least 20 minutes before you attempt to open the lamp door! The inside of the LitePro lamp housing can become very hot. Use extreme care.

2.While you’re waiting for the LitePro to cool, find a clean soft cloth that you can use to hold the lamp. You can also hold it with the plastic bag that comes with each new lamp. Holding a lamp with your bare fingers can damage it and shorten its life.

3.Disconnect the power cord from the LitePro.

4.Open the lamp door. To do this, push in on the two buttons as shown in Figure 18.

5.Hold the lamp door open with one hand.

6.Using the cloth, unplug the old lamp from its socket as shown in Figure 18. Be very careful not to touch surfaces that may still be hot.

Do not touch the lamps with your bare fingers. Always hold

them with a clean cloth. The natural oil on your skin concentrates the heat and may destroy the lamps.

7.Keeping it in its plastic bag, remove one of the new lamps from the box.
