Maintenance of the Cooling System

The high-intensity lamps and electronics rely on a properly functioning cooling system. Regular maintenance
of the cooling system is critical to prevent overheating and sudden projector failure and helps ensure reliable
operation.

5.1.1 Ventilation

Vents and louvers in the projector covers provide ventilation, both for intake and exhaust. Never block or cover
these openings. Do not install the projector near a radiator or heat register, or within an enclosure. To ensure
adequate airflow around the projector, with a minimum clearance of 25cm (10") on the left, right and rear sides
of the projector from any walls or other obstructions.

5.1.2 Optional Filters

Dust Air Filter
Monthly
CHECK:
Check projector air dust filters, at minimum, every month.
Dust air filters (if fitted), should be replaced whenever the lamp is replaced or between 200-500 hours,
depending on use. A clogged air filter reduces air flow and can lead to overheating and failure of the projector.
Check monthly by inspecting its color through the side vent grille with a flashlight. Replace grey colored
filters. Leave the filters in their sealed packaging until ready for use.
