Lamp Change - Barco Orion 1080 Safety And Users Manual

9 Lamp change

The lamp holder has an electronic lamp timer that tracks the life time of the lamp. The LED indicator on the key-
pad will turn RED when the lamp life is expired. The lamp must be changed when the lifetime has expired. Failure
to do so increases the risk of malfunction.
Replacement lamps must be of the same type and rating. USE ORIGINAL LAMPS ONLY.
Always disconnect the power cord and wait until the projector has cooled down (at least 60 minutes) before
opening the lamp cover.
Do not touch the protective glass when replacing the lamp as
this may cause the protective glass to overheat and break while in use.
Take care when removing the lamp module. In the unlikely event of a bulb rupture, small glass fragments
may be generated. The lamp module is designed to contain these fragments, but use caution when
removing the lamp module.
To remove the expired lamp:
1. Unscrew the lamp door screw
2. Open the lamp door
3. Unscrew the three screws that hold the lamp in place
4. Pull the lamp out using the handle
Replace with a new lamp in reverse order:
1. Insert a new lamp. Observe the guide pins and make sure the lamp is fully inserted
2. Fasten the three screws securely
3. Close the lamp door
4. Tighten the lamp door screw firmly
In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, a limited amount of mercury vapor may be emitted into the room.
To avoid inhaling this mercury vapor (which is toxic, and can be harmful for lungs and nervous system)
the room should be thoroughly ventilated for at least 30 minutes. There are no known health hazards
from exposure to lamps that are intact and which are used within an enclosed fixture. No adverse effects
are expected from occasional exposure to broken lamps. As a matter of good practice, avoid prolonged or
frequent exposure to lamps unless there is adequate ventilation. The major hazard from broken lamps is
the risk of sustaining glass cuts.
