Replacing The Projection Lamp - InFocus LP210 User Manual

Replacing the Projection Lamp

The lamp hour counter on the status bar at the top of the menus
counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. The LP 225
uses a metal halide bulb. These types of bulbs deteriorate over
time. Replace the lamp when the brightness is no longer accept-
able. You can order new lamp modules from your In Focus
dealer. See "Accessories" on page 43 for information.
Follow these steps to replace the projection lamp:
1 Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2 Wait 45 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 22).
4 Pull the lamp cover up and remove it.
5 Loosen the non-removable screw on the outside of the mod-
ule.
6 Remove the module (Figure 23).

extract the lamp module while the
lamp is operating.

CAUTION: Never operate the
projector with the lamp cover open
or removed. This disrupts the air
flow and causes the projector to
overheat.
