Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Maintaining the Filtering System

Like all high quality video projection units, the DL.2 fixture must be kept protected from excessive amounts of glycol fog, mineral oil, and smoke. DL.2 fixtures incorporate multiple air filters to reduce these risks to a minimum; however, the user must follow these guidelines to ensure continued operation of the fixture:

•Air filters (both fixture and projector) should be checked and cleaned on a regular basis. When used in a closed or fixed environment where fog or haze is used, we recommend at least a weekly check.

•Do not situate DL.2 in areas of high fog density such as directly in front of a fog machine or mineral oil hazer.

•Minimize the exposure of DL.2 to both glycol fog and mineral oil.

Filter Warnings

The DL.2 menu system displays a series of filter status and warnings to alert you when a filter needs to be cleaned or replaced. These appear in a large format that can be viewed from a distance. The Info_Status menu screen will include a detailed message concerning the large format Error/Warning filter message. The following messages will give you information regarding the status of the DL.2 filter system:

•Filter Missing Error: A filter not present or is not installed properly. Check and insert missing filter.

•Filter Service Warning: The filter system is not operating optimally and needs to be serviced soon.

•Filter Service Error: The filter system needs immediate servicing. Replace Filter.

For these and other Error/Warning messages, see Status Message Menu Display on page 219.

Cleaning and Replacing Filters

The DL.2 system utilizes multiple filters to protect the internal media server and projector.

•A filter is located on the side of the fixture base housing attached with velcro for easy removal and cleaning. Check this filter often for dust or debris that can be caused when using the DL.2 in environments with confetti or pyrotechnics. This filter is washable, but must be completely dry before re-installing.

•The Fixture head contains both a hepa filter and a prefilter

•The internal projector has two filters

Check the following warnings and cautions before servicing the filters:

WARNINGS!

Disconnect power before servicing.

Replace fuses with the specified type and rating only.

Equipment surfaces may reach temperatures up to 130° C (266° F). Allow the fixture to cool before handling.
