power cable.
 Project onto large screens from a short distance
 The height can be adjusted easily with one lever.
 Can be put away without the need of cooling the projector down.
 Variety of image distortion correction functions allow you to choose where to
install the projector more flexibly.
 This projector automatically corrects vertical keystone distortion which
occurs when positioning or moving the projector.
 The Horizontal keystone adjuster allows you to quickly correct horizontal
distortion in the projected image. Type B

 Various functions for excellent power saving


 The projector comes with built-in functions to save power such as dimming
the projected image, an auto power off timer, and adjusting power
consumption while the projector is standing by.
 When ECO Display is set to On from the Configuration menu, an icon that
indicates the power-saving status is displayed at the bottom left of the
projected screen when the lamp brightness has switched to low brightness.
 CUD (Color Universal Design) compliant
The projector’s LED colors and the colors used for the menu items are designed to
support the color universal design (CUD) even for those who are color blind or

product conditions, and identify the faulty component in accordance with the
instructions in this chapter.

 Fault analysis by the error codes


Check the type of error by referring to the error logs recorded in the AS menu, and
identify the faulty components accordingly.

 Fault analysis by the error phenomenon


Verify the fault by phenomenon; such as the operation of the unit, projected
image, and identify the faulty components accordingly.

When carrying out the repair by


removing/replacing the part specified as
the safety device, refer to "3.3 Operation
and Safety Check after repair" (p.90)

3.2 Disassembly Procedure


This section explains one of the shortest ways to reach the target part or assembly to be repaired. Parts and assemblies to be repaired are categorized into several blocks, and proceed
the disassembly and removal of parts or assemblies in each block in the order given below. A flowchart is given on the left of each page to show the order of disassembly/removal,
so follow the chart when performing the procedures.

 When reassembling the projector after disassembly or replacement, reassemble the projector by performing the disassembly procedures in reverse
unless otherwise specified.
 When reassembling the projector, if different steps or work are required, the instructions for them are provided with the symbol ( ), therefore
make sure to follow the instructions.
 The part names in this chapter are simplified. See the "Reference (Part Names given in the SPI)" for the corresponding official names.

 Rating Label
After performing repair work such as parts replacement of this projector, or
disassembling/reassembling the projector, carry out the safety check and the basic TEST ITEMS
operation check of the functions of the projector following the instructions in this section.
 Insulation resistance test
3.3.1 Safety Check after Servicing  Ground continuity check
 Illumination check
To Maintain the safeness of the projector whose safety devices are replaced or which is

 Testing procedure

Because high voltage (500 V) is present, do not touch the probe during testing.

1. Connect the crocodile clip of the black lead wire to "C" of the projector’s
Computer terminal.
2. Put the probe of the red lead wire to "A" on the AC inlet of the projector.
3. Set the measure switch to LOCK, and wait for one minute.
4. Measure the insulation resistance between "A" and "C" (1) after one minute.
5. Check that the insulation resistance after one minute is 10 M or more.
6. Measure the insulation resistance between "B" and "C" (2) in the same way as for
(1).
7. Check that the insulation resistance of (2) after one minute is 10 M or more.

 Measurement range: Select "500 V".


 Tester lead wires:
• Black lead wire: Connect it to the "EARTH" terminal.
• Red lead wire: Connect it to the "LINE" terminal.
 Standard
Insulation resistance should be 10 M or more.

 Testing procedure
1. Turn the tester on.
2. Check that the resistance between "C" of the Computer terminal and "G" of
the AC inlet of the projector (1) is 0.5  or less.

 Measurement range: Select "".

 Tester lead wires:
• Black lead wire: Connect it to the "COM" terminal.
• Red lead wire: Connect it to the "V//Hz" terminal.
 Standard/Judgment level
3.3.1.3 Illumination Check
Should be no resistance (0.5  or less)  Test conditions
Input a PC or video signal and check the illumination for about 5 minutes.
 Judgment
Projector should operate normally with no smoke or fire.

3.3.2 Operation Check


When the safety check is complete without any abnormality and you make sure there is
no unsafe state, perform the basic operation check of the projector.

3.4.1 Overview
In this projector’s case, when either of the Optical Engine or the Main Board is broken, you can replace the broken Optical Engine or MA Board alone if you carry out the following
procedure. In this case (a new combination of them), you will write the DR data adjusted for the characteristics of the Optical Engine (current or replaced) into the newly-combined
MA Board according to the specified procedure. This section describes the specific repair process including how to write the DR data.

among the products, perform this calibration after replacing and/or reassembling any
parts which require the replacement of the MA board at the same time.

3.5.2 Preparation
1. Be sure that all feet of the projector for which you perform this
calibration are completely retracted.
2. Place the projector on an even and stable place such as on the top of a
table.

4. The calibration ends with the beep of the buzzer.


5. Confirm that the keystone function does not work when all feet are
retracted. (menu value:0)
