MAINTENANCE: Kodak S-AV 2050 slide projectors

Kodak S-AV 2050: front view

The below maintenance tasks are based on our experiences when looking after slide-based artworks

across multiple Tate sides. Rather than responding to failure during opening hours, our approach is

driven by pre-emptively minimising its chance. In order to keep track of the maintenance carried out

please set up a maintenance log that notes the action taken as well as any problems that occurred during

the course of the display.



The following items are required:

'3-In-One' lubrication oil and grease

Oil free air compressor or compressed air cans

Lint free tissue, anti-static brush

TWICE A WEEK AND WEEKLY MAINTENANCE



The lamp inside the projector needs to be changed twice a week. It is important that this is done

before the lamp fails. A schedule can be set up based on the average 40 hours life expectation of the

lamp. It is necessary to wear gloves when changing the lamp as grease spots on the lamp reduces its

life and cause them to blow prematurely.



The slide projector needs to be cleaned once a week by a trained AV technician. This includes

dusting the outer body of the projector as well as the lens and optical path (there are 4 lenses and

filters inside the projector). The cleaning of the projectors optics, such as the lens, condenser and

heat filter should be carried out using a soft lint e cloth or an anti-static brush.

If the projector begins to make a squeaky noise, this is usually caused by the ventilation wheel inside

being dusty and/or that the bearings may need lubrication.

MONTHLY BASIS



Once a month a deep clean needs to be carried out on the slide projector. Dirt and dust can have

adverse effects on the lubricants used on the rotating parts inside the slide projector and thus may

lead to malfunctioning.

See detailed maintenance instructions at the end of the report. This will take circa 40 minutes for

each.
