Chapter 4---Optical 4-18 Model 250 Service Manual WARNING!!! Always wear an ANSI/ASTM 10,000 volt rated safety glove when working around CRTs due to the High Voltage present there. NOTE: If the ILA®/Relay Lens/CRT assembly cannot be moved close enough to get a good spacer ball focus, loosen the CRT Lens Stopper Ring in front of the CRT Holder Ring using a 2.5-mm Hex wrench. Move the CRT snug against the collar to get additional range, and then, retighten the collar. 10. Using the 4-mm hex-head wrench, loosen the two hex bolts (see Figure 4-10) on the ILA ® assembly in front of the Relay Lens. 11. Slide the Relay Lens/CRT/ILA ® assembly forward or backward to achieve the sharpest spacer ball focus. NOTE: Do not use the zoom lens focus while performing this step. 12. Repeat Steps 6-11 until the spacer balls stay in focus through the entire zoom range. The spacer balls may go slightly out of focus in spots while zooming up or down, but they should be in focus at the smallest and largest images. 13. Tighten the hex bolts on the Green ILA ® Assembly and the wing nut on the Green Relay Lens. 14. Repeat Steps 9-13 for other colors that need ILA ® Back Focusing. Be sure to hide the other two colors. To adjust the ILA ® Back Focus for a Fixed Lens: 1. Power the projector ON and allow it to stabilize for 15 minutes. 2. Remove the rear cover and tilt up the Electronic Module. 3. View Green. Hide Red and Blue. 4. Select the Focus Pattern (Test Pattern #6). 5. Select Projection Lens from the menu. 6. Use left and right arrows to focus the projection lens to get sharply focused spacer balls. 7. Put on safety gloves (see Safety section for gloves type) then loosen the wing nut on the Green Relay Lens, (or whichever lens is being focused). NOTE: If the ILA ®/Relay Lens/CRT assembly cannot be moved close enough to get a good spacer ball focus, loosen the CRT Lens Stopper Ring in front of the CRT Holder Ring using the 2.5-mm Hex wrench. Move the CRT snug against the collar to get additional range, then retighten the collar.

Chapter 4---Optical Model 250 Service Manual 4-19 8. Loosen the two hex bolts (see Figure 4-10) on the ILA® assembly in front of the Relay Lens. 9. Slide the Relay ILA ®/Lens/CRT assembly forward or backward to achieve the sharpest spacer ball focus. NOTE: Do not use the projection lens focus while performing this step. 10. Tighten the hex bolts on the Green ILA ® Assembly and the wing nut on the Green Relay Lens. 11. Repeat Steps 7-10 above for other colors that need ILA ® Back Focusing. Be sure to hide the other two colors. ILA ® Remove and Replace Each projector has three ILA®s; each located on the front of a Relay Lens. Tools Needed 4-mm Hex wrench Parts Needed Super Contrast Blue 102630-14 Green 102630-15 Red 102630-16 NOTE: Do not interchange Super Contrast ILA ®s. The Compensators on the ILA®s are color specific and can not be interchanged i.e. the green ILA® can not be put in the red channel or blue channel. To Remove the ILA ® 1. It is not necessary to power off the projector. 2. Remove the Rear cover. It is not necessary to tilt the Electronics Module up. 3. Loosen the two Hex nuts using a 4-mm Hex nut wrench and slide the ILA®/Relay Lens/CRT Assembly back. 4. Loosen the two wing nuts on the ILA® and pull back the spring clip. 5. Disconnect the connector from the ILA® and remove the ILA® assembly (it will slide out with some resistance). It will be necessary to reset ILA ® bias, and Overlap. ILA® Compensator, G2 setting, and shading for the ILA® being replaced should be checked.

Chapter 4---Optical 4-20 Model 250 Service Manual 4.4 Relay Lenses The Relay Lens focuses the image light received from the CRT on the photoconductive layer of the ILA® (see Figure 4-9). There are no service adjustments for the Relay Lens. The Relay Lens rarely needs service and is not considered a serviceable part. 4.5 Projection Lens Projection Lens - Input Combined RGB image light from the Prism Assembly. Projection Lens - Output Output image light to the screen Projection Lens - Operation The projection lens receives image light from the Prism Assembly. The light is high intensity light from the ILA® that has been modulated by the image light from the CRT. After leaving the ILA®s the modulated light travels back through the Prism Assembly where the red, green, and blue image light are combined. The Projection Lens focuses this output image light onto the screen. All Projection Lenses come with motorized focus adjustment. The Model 250 projector comes with a choice of four standard lens options. Motorized Zoom Lens 2:1 - 4:1 ! Fixed Lenses 0.96: 1 1.5: 1 5.6:1 ! Optional Lenses 2.4:1 Simulator Lens Projection Lens - Service Adjustments There are no service adjustments for the Projection Lens. The focus adjustment, both rough and fine focus adjustments, are part of the projector setup procedure (see Model 250 User’s Guide, Setup Adjustments sections 5.4 and 5.5.15) Projection Lens - Remove and Replace Tools Needed 5-mm Hex wrench To remove the Projection Lens: 1. Remove the sponge cover that is around the front of the Projection Lens. 2. Disconnect and label the Projection Lens Focus and Zoom motor cables (The Focus motor is at the top of the Projection Lens. The Zoom motor is at the bottom.)

Chapter 4---Optical Model 250 Service Manual 4-21 3. Loosen (do not remove) the Lens holding screw at the right side (see Figure 4-11) of the Projection Lens. Figure 4-11 Projection Lens holding screw and removal notch. NOTE: The 0.96:1 Projection Lens has an adapter sleeve installed on it. The Projection Lens is installed the same as other Projection Lenses except the Holding Bolt needs to be loosened more to allow the Projection Sleeve to clear it. 4. Rotate the Projection Lens left or right as needed so that the notch on the lens clears the holding screw on the lens holder (see Figure 4-11). 5. Carefully pull the Projection Lens out of the projector. 6. Replace the Projection Lens in reverse order. Be sure to reconnect the Zoom and Focus motor cables. NOTE: Use the same procedure to install or remove fixed lenses. Also, when changing from a zoom to a fixed lens, or vice versa, check the ILA ® Back Focus adjustment (see section 4.3 ILA®).

Before performing procedures in this chapter, review the chapter on Safety at the beginning of this manual . WARNING!!! When performing procedures in this chapter that require projector covers to be removed, wear high voltage gloves (ANSI/ASTM 10,000 volt rated) when working near the CRTs, Arc Lamp, or power supplies. Wear safety goggles (rated X5) when working anywhere near the light path from the arc lamp or the projection lens.

Chapter 5---Electronics 5-2 Model 250 Service Manual WARNING!!! 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. 5.2 Introduction The Model 250 Electronics System includes nine printed circuit assemblies. They provide all the controlling voltages and signals to adjust and correct picture settings, geometry, convergence, and shading (see Chapter 4 of the User’s Guide). The Electronics System also controls video and sync input signals, LED displays on PCBs at the rear and side of the projector, two RS-232 communications ports, and two IR receivers for remote control of the projector. The descriptions in this portion of the manual are based on an overall Electronics System block diagram and simplified block diagrams for each of the nine printed circuit assemblies. Figure 5-1 provides an overall System Block Diagram to show how the Optical System, Arc Lamp, and Electronics System combine to provide the bright screen image. Figure 5-1 Model 250 System Block Diagram.

It is very strongly recommended that setup data be downloaded ( Exported, see section 8.2 Importing/Exporting) before performing any of the following procedures. Exporting baseline source setup data to disk is an excellent precautionary measure. It will save the time of setting up new source file(s) in the case of an unexpected problem . 5.3 System Controller PCB System Controller PCB - Main Function ! Enables control for the Low Voltage Power Supply, Arc Lamp and cooling fans. ! Fault monitors the HVPS, LVPS, Arc Lamp, and fans. ! Provides IIC serial bus communication and control between PCBs. ! Controls Zoom and Focus of the Projection Lens. ! Generates Menu and Internal Patterns Overlays ! X and Y Convergence control ! Threshold and Sensitivity for shading
