Chassis Description

Diagnosis of power failure with RS-232C port

This projector provides a function to get the error information of the projector by using the RS-232C serial port for the power failure diagnosis.

The further error information of the power failure and fan failure can be found out by using this function.

Diagnosis procedure

1Connect a RS-232C serial cross cable to SERIAL PORT IN on the projector and serial port on the PC.

2Launch a communication software "Hyper terminal" provided with PC and setup the communication condition as follows;

Baud rate

: 19200 bps

Parity check

: none

Stop bit

: 1

Flow control

: none

Data bit

: 8

 

 

3Turn on the projector. Check that the LED shows a power failure. (All the LEDs except LAMP LED are blinking)

4Type a diagnosis command of the power failure "CR ALLP- FAIL" and press a "ENTER" key within 1 second on the command window of the software.

The error information will be listed on the window as the right.

Check the status column. If "NG" is listed, the power failure occurs on its signal line (Power Line Name).

In case of the right table, this error information means that the power failure occurs on the S-5V power supply on the analog circuit on the main board. Check if the parts con- nected to S-5V power supply line are defective.

Also the error information may be listed multiple as the below;

In the above case, 2 kinds of causes are considered.

One is the power failure occurs on the multiple places at the same time, other is a power failure affects multiple power supply lines even if the failure occurs on the single place.

In the former case, check if the parts connected to the mul- tiple power supply lines are defective. In the latter case, determine a failure point referring to "Power failure detec- tion tree" on the previous page. Basically, if the power fail- ure occurs on the upper side of power supply, the power failure is also detected on lower side of power supply fre- quently. If the failure occurs on the lower side of power sup- ply, it is lightly affected to the upper side of the power sup- ply. In the above case, because the failure occurs on the 6V power supply on the analog circuit on the main board, the failure is also detected on the 3.3V and 5V power supply on the ANALOG circuit on the main board.

LC-X71 LC-X71L specifications

The Eiki LC-X71 and LC-X71L are advanced multimedia projectors designed for a range of applications, from education to corporate environments. Known for their outstanding image quality and impressive clarity, these projectors combine technological innovation with user-friendly features, making them ideal for presentations, lectures, and various visual displays.

One of the defining characteristics of the LC-X71 series is its high brightness output. With 6000 ANSI lumens, these projectors ensure clear and vibrant images, even in well-lit rooms. This level of brightness is complemented by a native XGA resolution (1024 x 768), providing sharp details and vivid colors. The LC-X71L model features a slightly enhanced brightness, making it suitable for larger venues or where ambient light cannot be controlled.

The Eiki LC-X71 and LC-X71L utilize a DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology that enhances color accuracy and contrast. This technology minimizes the visibility of pixels, ensuring smooth images that remain sharp at various viewing distances. Moreover, the projectors incorporate a high contrast ratio, which contributes to deep blacks and bright whites, making them perfect for presentations with complex graphics.

Another noteworthy feature is the flexible connectivity options. The LC-X71 series offers multiple input terminals, including HDMI, VGA, and USB, allowing for seamless integration with various devices, from laptops to video players. This versatility enables users to easily switch between different content sources. Additionally, the projectors support wireless presentation capability, enhancing user convenience and reducing the clutter of cables.

User convenience doesn’t stop at connectivity. The LC-X71 and LC-X71L are designed for easy installation and maintenance. Their lightweight design and compact dimensions facilitate portability, making them easy to move between locations. They also feature a filter-free design, reducing maintenance efforts and ensuring long-term reliability.

In terms of energy efficiency, both models are equipped with Eco Mode, which extends lamp life and reduces power consumption. The lamp life can reach up to 4000 hours, depending on usage, making it a cost-effective solution for prolonged use.

In conclusion, the Eiki LC-X71 and LC-X71L projectors deliver exceptional performance, combining high brightness, versatile connectivity, and user-friendly features. Their technological advancements cater to various needs, ensuring that they stand out in the competitive market of multimedia projectors.
