Replacing the Lamp Cartridge

Check the LIFE indicator (lamp life indicator) on the touch panel before you use the processor. Follow the procedure below to
replace the lamp cartridge (OL-X25) if one bar of the LIFE indicator lights red and the [Please replace the lamp] message
appears.
NOTE
The lamp life is 400 hours.
If the total usage time of the lamp becomes 400 hours or more, one bar of the LIFE indicator lights red and the [Please
replace the lamp] message appears on the monitor.
Removing the Lamp Cartridge
1
Press R to turn off the processor and disconnect the power cord.
Make sure the power cord is disconnected before you replace the lamp cartridge.
2
Turn the screw at the top of the lamp cartridge
access door counterclockwise and open the access
door. (Refer to Figure 5.2.)
Since the whole lamp cartridge is hot immediately after use, be sure
to leave sufficient time for cooling prior to replacement.

Turn the two screws at the top of the lamp cartridge
counterclockwise and remove the lamp cartridge
while supporting it with a hand. (Refer to Figure 5.3.)

Draw out the lamp cartridge towards you while
making sure it does not bang against the lamp
cartridge housing.

Contact PENTAX with regards to the disposal of lamp cartridges because we accept used lamp
cartridges.
WARNING
Replace the entire lamp cartridge with the model OL-X25 lamp cartridge designed specifically for use with the EPK-i. Do
not replace the lamp only because doing so may result in a failure of the processor, etc.
