Replacing SP-LAMP-LP7E projector lamp

Replacing the Projection Lamp

The SP-LAMP-LP7E lamp hour counter on the status bar at the top of the menus

counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. After 2000

hours of use, the lamp monitor LED, marked on the top of the

projector near the keypad, lights. After 2050 hours, the lamp

switches off completely and must be replaced. You can order new

lamp modules from your In Focus dealer. See “Accessories” on

page 51 for information.

Follow these steps to replace the projection lamp:

1 Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.

2 Wait 30 minutes to allow it to cool thoroughly.

3 Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, remove the screw on the

outside of the lamp door (Figure 34).

4 Pull the lamp cover up and remove it.

5 Loosen the two non-removable screws on the outside of the

module.

6 Remove the module.

7 Align the new SP-LAMP-LP7E lamp module in the correct direction.

8 Gently push the module in as far as it goes (Figure 36).

9 Tighten the screws on the outside of the module.

11 Replace the screw and tighten it.

12 Plug in the power cord and turn the projector back on. The

lamp monitor light and lamp hour counter in the Status bar on

the menus are automatically reset.

WARNING: To avoid burns,

allow the projector to cool for at

least 30 minutes before you open

the lamp module door. Never

extract the SP-LAMP-LP7E lamp module while the

lamp is operating.

Lamp Compartment
