EN-38 Replacing the lamp This projector is equipped with a lamp to project images. This lamp is a consumable. It may burn out or its brightness may decrease during use. In such cases, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible. Be sure to replace the lamp with a new lamp separately sold that is exclusive to this projector. Contact your dealer for purchase of the lamp. Spare lamp for XL2550U: VLT-XL650LP Spare lamp for XL1550U: VLT-XL550LP Warning: • Be careful not to drop the lamp fi xing screws into the inside of the projector. Don’t put a metal piece or fl ammable object into the projector. Using the projector with any foreign object present inside may result in electric shock or fi re. When you can’t remove the foreign object from the inside, contact your dealer for removal. • Be sure to install the lamp securely. When the lamp isn’t installed properly, it won’t illuminate. Improper installation may also result in fi re. • Don’t shake the removed lamp or don’t lift it above your face. You may be injured in your eye by fl ying or falling glass fragments. • Don’t replace the lamp immediately after use because the lamp cover is very hot. You may get burned. Turn off the power using the POWER button. After the lamp goes out, wait about 2 minutes until the intake and exhaust fans for cooling the lamp stop rotating. Then unplug the power cord, and wait at least 1 hour to allow the lamp to cool down enough to the touch. • Do not touch the lamp directly. It may break and cause injury or burn. Interval of lamp replacement The recommended interval of lamp replacement is about 4000 or 5000 hours*1 of consecutive use. Such interval differs depending on the operating environment and may be shorter. Decrease in luminescence and/or color brightness indicates that the lamp needs to be replaced. When the lamp operation time exceeds the time elapsed until the lamp shutdown notice *1 is issued, the indicator will blink alternately between green and red (while the lamp is lit; when the lamp is not lit, the indicator will be lit red only) and the lamp replacement message will appear on the screen for 1 minute everytime the lamp is turned on. When the lamp operation time exceeds the time elapsed until the lamp shutdown warning *1 is issued, the replacement message (LAMP EXCHANGE) will appear on the screen for 1 minute at fi xed intervals*1 thereafter. When the lamp operation time exceeds the time elapsed until the lamp shutdown*1, the projector automatically shuts off and can’t be used until the lamp is replaced and the lamp operation time is reset. *1: XL2550U XL1550U Time elapsed until the lamp shutdown notice 3000 hours 3750 hours Time elapsed until the lamp shutdown warning 3800 hours 4750 hours Time elapsed until the lamp shutdown 4000 hours 5000 hours Interval of displaying the lamp replacement message 20 hours 25 hours • The times above are when LAMP MODE of the INSTALLATION menu is set to LOW. When it is set to STAND- ARD, this duration will be shorted. • When LAMP MODE is set to STANDARD, the time elapsed until the lamp shutdown will be shorted to 2000 hours. Caution: • Don’t remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Unnecessary removal of the lamp may result in a breakdown. • This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp as the light source. The high-pressure mercury lamp may explode or fail to illuminate permanently because of an impact, scratch, or deterioration through use. The period of time until explosion or permanent failure to illuminate varies considerably from lamp to lamp, depending on operation conditions. Therefore, the lamp may explode soon after the start of use. • The possibility of explosion of the lamp increases if you use it beyond its replacement period. When the instruction of lamp replacement appears, replace it with a new one immediately even if the lamp is still lighting normally. • When the high-pressure mercury lamp explodes, glass fragments will scatter inside or outside the lamp box and the gas charged inside the lamp will diffuse inside or outside the projector. The gas inside the lamp contains mercury. Be careful not to breathe it or avoid it from entering your eye or mouth. If you should breathe it or if it should enter your eye or mouth, see a doctor immediately. • In the event that the high-pressure mercury lamp exploded, glass fragments may have been scattered inside the projector. Ask your dealer to replace the lamp and to inspect the inside of the projector. When you clean or replace the lamp by yourself, be sure to hold the handle of the lamp. You may get injured by glass fragments. • When removing the lamp from the ceiling-mounted projector, use the lamp replacement tray packed with the projector or option lamp to prevent glass fragments from scattering. • Be sure to use the lamp exclusive to this projector, VLT-XL650LP for XL2550U (or VLT-XL550LP for XL1550U). Use of other lamps may cause a failure of the projector.
