Safety Information
Introduction
Read entire Safety Chapter thoroughly before performing any
maintenance or service on the projector.  Only qualified service personnel
should perform procedures and adjustments.
Safety Equipment: Use safety equipment specified in the projector’s
maintenance training and certification program.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS!
Warnings and Cautions in this manual should be read thoroughly and
strictly adhered to. Warning and Caution definitions and symbols are as
follows:
WARNING SYMBOL   Warns user of a potential
electric shock hazard in a procedure or situation that could result in
personal injury if improperly performed.
CAUTION SYMBOL   Warns user of a potential
safety hazard or potential light hazard from ultraviolet, infrared or bright
light that could cause severe eye injury or a situation that could result in
damage to the equipment if improperly used.
Installation Safeguards
 WARNING!!! 
Procedures in this service manual
require removing the projector’s covers to access internal component to
remove, replace, service and adjust the projector. Only Hughes-JVC
Certified Technicians are qualified to perform these procedures. Before
removing or replacing any internal components or subassemblies, verify
that the circuit breaker on the back panel is in the Off position and
remove the power plug. Any adjustments performed that require covers 
						

							Safety Information
Model 230 Service Manualvi
off and power on should be performed with extreme care.  Be especially
aware of all hazardous areas indicated by warning and caution labels.
  CAUTION! Do not use a forklift to lift the projector
without using a safe shipping pallet. Lifting the projector without
supporting the weight at the foot locations can cause severe damage to
the projector.
If there is any visible damage to the power cable, disconnect power to the
projector until the damaged cable is replaced. Install the projector on a
smooth, vibration-resistant level surface, or ceiling mount, in an area free
from dust and moisture. Do not place the equipment in direct sunlight or
near heat-radiating appliances. Smoke, steam and exposure to direct
sunlight could adversely affect the internal components.
If mounting the projector, use hardware that can handle a minimum of
three (3) times the projector weight.
Heat Safeguards
Fans and Ventilation: The projector has multiple fans to cool the system.
Do not block the intake or outflow of any fans.
  Heat is emitted within
the system and must be properly dissipated to keep the system running
correctly.  Blocking air intake or exhaust ports can lead to projector
overheating.  Do not enclose the unit in a restricted space (refer to the
physical access and thermal clearance illustration guidelines).
CAUTION! Do not unplug the power cord until after the arc lamp fan
has stopped running. This fan protects the arc lamp from overheating.
Disconnecting power before the cooling fans have stopped running can
shorten Arc Lamp life.
Light Safeguards
Dangerous high voltage, bright light, ultraviolet, and infrared
radiation can be hazardous to personnel. Access must remain
restricted to Hughes-JVC certified engineers and technicians.
Ultra Violet and Infrared Light
Protect eyes and face from ultra violet light and infrared light by using the
following protective eyewear:
1.  X3 (up to 375 nanometers), ANSI approved, shade goggles
must be worn by anyone near the projector when it is lit and
the cover is off.
2.  X5 (375 to 700 nanometers), ANSI approved, shade goggles
when actually working on the projector near the arc lamp
source. 
						

							Safety Information
Model 230 Service Manualvii
WARNING, BRIGHT LIGHT!!! 
Never look directly at the Arc Lamp, the lighted Projection Lens or
into the lamp housing, from any distance, when the projector is on.
Direct exposure to light of this brightness can cause severe eye
injury.
Dangerous levels of ultraviolet and infrared radiation, dangerous
glare, very high temperatures (180°C to 300°C) and high internal gas
pressure are present at the Xenon Arc Lamp. The lamp is contained
in a protective reflector housing module and should not be operated
outside this housing or outside of the projector. When replacement
is needed, the arc lamp must be replaced as an entire module, as
shown in this manual. Do not open the lamp housing or attempt to
replace the Arc Lamp inside its module! Do not touch the Arc Lamp,
or any connections, when the lamp is ignited or is arcing. Any
servicing of the Arc Lamp must remain restricted to Hughes-JVC
certified maintenance personnel.
Electrical Safeguards
WARNING!!! High Voltage points up to 40,000 volts are
exposed inside the covers. Allow at least one minute for the high
voltage to bleed off, even after power is turned off.
Due to high voltage danger, 
DO NOT TOUCH
• CRT cables. These cables can cause severe shock from a
tiny, invisible crack or hole and should never be touched while
projector power is on.
• CRT anodes.
• Main power ± supply posts.
• Arc Lamp main power ± posts
• CRT yoke assemblies and other proximity electrical
assemblies, components and wiring. If performing the ILA®
Back Focus, CRT Mechanical Focus, CRT rotation, width
adjustment, or ILA® Overlap adjustment, always use an
High voltage access. Front and rear
covers contain safety interlocks.
Defeat restricted to Hughes-JVC
certified service personnel

ANSI/ASTM 10,000 volt rated glove. Periodically check the
condition of the gloves for cracks.
Power Supply
The projector operates from a 220V - 240V, 20 Amp, single-phase, 50/60
Hz AC power source. Ensure local power source matches these
requirements before operating!
For continued safe and reliable operation, only use cables supplied by the
manufacturer for power and signal connections.
Fluid Safeguards
Certain components of the projector contain fluid. If any fluid from the
projector contacts the skin, wash off with soap and water. If any fluid from
the projector splashes into the eyes, rinse with cool running water.
Ventilation and Foreign Object Retrieval
CAUTION! Ensure the projector’s multiple fans are free from
obstructions and operating properly. Air filters are located at vent ports on
the cover. Air filters require periodic cleaning to ensure adequate cooling
of the projector (
Section 4.3). Ensure that all vent ports are clear of
obstructions.
Keep the inside of the projector free from foreign objects, such as
hairpins, nails, paper, etc.  Do not attempt to retrieve any object or insert
metal objects such as wire and screwdrivers inside the unit.  If an object
falls inside the projector, immediately unplug the projector and call a
Hughes-JVC certified technician to remove object.
