8 Routine Maintenance
It is very important to perform routine maintenance on both the enclosure and the projector
within. Failure to do so may reduce lifetime for both the enclosure and the projector.
Note
Maintenance schedules depend on location and environment. The times given here are general
guidelines for you to use. It is up to you to judge whether maintenance should be done more
often. We do advise doing these tasks no less often than mentioned here.
Safety
 Although maintenance can be performed while the enclosure is powered, it is safer to carry it out
with the power disconnected with proper lockout and tag out procedures followed.
 Be aware that once the enclosure has had power applied to it, the heater will get hot and the fans
will start to turn. Make sure that your hands are clear of these areas before applying power to
the enclosure.
 Only authorized personnel should perform maintenance on the enclosure or projector
 Do not service the unit in the rain or other adverse weather conditions (snow, sleet, high winds,
etc.).
 Be aware that the cover is a large object that can be awkward to handle, especially when standing
on a ladder or scaffolding.
Inspection Checklist: - Every Three (3) Months
 All weep (drain) holes should be clear
 All vents should be free of debris
 Enclosure should be free of debris both inside and out
 Bolts should be tight
 Lid seal should be in good condition, Check seal inside and out for gaps.
 Window should not be cracked
 Fans should be moving (it will be necessary to have the power on to check this), with
corresponding indicator status
Except for the last two items (concerning globe and fan), problems with any of these things can
be easily remedied. Contact technical support for problems with the last two items.
