Projecting Other Video Sources
The projector allows you to project directly from another computer or video source onto
the dome. See the DLP projector user manual for details.
Maintenance
Lens Care
To protect the lens, always attach the lens cap when you are not using your Digitarium
system. If you notice dust or dirt on the lens, clean it with a soft, lint-free tissue or cloth
and methyl alcohol.
If you remove the lens from the system, be sure to use both the front and back
lens caps.
Lamp Life
The Digitarium system is designed to require minimal maintenance. However, the
projector lamp will eventually grow dimmer and burn out. It is important to check lamp
life and to replace the lamp when its design lifetime is reached, even if it is still
apparently working fine, in order to avoid catastrophic failure.
The standard projector lamp must be replaced after 2,000 hours of projection if used in
high brightness mode or 3,000 hours in eco (low brightness) mode. It may be
necessary to replace it sooner if the lamp becomes noticeably dimmer or projection will
not start. To assist you, the DLP projector tracks how many hours the lamp has been
used and will provide reminder messages.
Refer to the DLP projector user manual for detailed instructions on checking lamp hour
usage and replacement procedure.
We highly recommend that you always keep a spare lamp on hand to be
prepared for any eventuality. Otherwise, if your only lamp fails, you may have days or
weeks of downtime waiting for a replacement.
The projector lamps contain a small amount of mercury. Please dispose of them
in an environmentally safe manner, such as at a hazardous waste collection site.
The Control Unit and projector need to be kept clean of dust internally for
adequate cooling. See those manuals for service recommendations.
