Replacing the projector lamp module

Eventually the lamp will dim and a message will appear reminding you to replace it. Make sure you have a replacement lamp module before proceeding with the following instructions. You also need a Phillips No. 1 screwdriver to complete these procedures.

Warning 

  • See smarttech.com/compliance for the projector’s material safety data sheet (MSDS) documents.

  • Replace the lamp module when the projector becomes dim or displays its lamp life warning message. If you continue to use the projector after this message appears, the lamp can shatter or burst, scattering glass throughout the projector.

  • If the lamp shatters or bursts, leave the room. Ventilate the area by opening windows and doors.

    Next, do the following:

    • Avoid touching the glass fragments because they can cause injury.

    • Wash your hands thoroughly if you have come into contact with lamp debris.

    • Thoroughly clean the area around the projector, and discard any edible items placed in that area because they could be contaminated.

    • Call your authorized SMART reseller for instructions. Do not attempt to replace the lamp.

  • Replacing the lamp module in a wall-mounted projector can result in a fall or injury. Use caution when climbing a ladder, and consider removing the projector from the wall-mount bracket to replace the lamp module.

  • Uncovering the lamp while the projector is mounted on the wall-mount bracket can lead to product damage or personal injury from falling pieces of glass if the lamp is broken.

  • When replacing the projector lamp module:

    • Put the projector into Standby mode and wait 30 minutes for the lamp to cool completely.

    • Do not remove any screws other than those specified in the lamp replacement instructions.

    • Wear protective eyewear while changing the lamp module. Failure to do so can cause injuries including loss of eyesight if the lamp shatters or bursts.

    • Use only replacement lamp modules approved by SMART Technologies. Contact your authorized SMART reseller for replacement parts.

    • Never replace the lamp module with a previously used lamp module.

    • Always handle the fragile lamp assembly with care to prevent premature lamp failure or exposure to mercury. Use gloves when touching the lamp module. Do not touch the lamp with your fingers.

    • Recycle or dispose of the lamp module as hazardous waste in accordance with local regulations.

To remove the old lamp module

  1. If the projector is on and its status light displays solid green, press the Power button twice on the remote control to put the projector into Standby mode.

  2. Wait at least 30 minutes for the projector to cool down.

  3. Disconnect the power cable from the projector.

  4. Use the Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screw on the side of the projector, and then remove the lamp cover.

    Note 

    Don’t try to remove this screw. Captive screws can’t be removed, but they must be loosened.

  5. Remove protection film from the projector, and then put it in a safe place.

  6. Use the Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screw on the lamp module, and disconnect the lamp module’s power plug. Use the handle on the lamp module to gently slide the lamp module out and remove it from the projector.

  7. Put the old lamp module in a secure container and handle it gently until you recycle or dispose of it.

    Important 

    Recycle or dispose of the lamp module according to your local waste authority.

To put the new lamp module into the projector

  1. Remove the new lamp module from its packaging.

  2. Carefully place the lamp module into the projector using the handle on the top of the module, and then tighten the captive screw with the Phillips screwdriver.

    Caution 

    Do not over-tighten the screws.

  3. Connect the lamp module’s power plug into the power receptacle.

  4. Place the lamp protection film over the slot, carefully replace the lamp cover and then tighten the captive screw.

To finish the projector lamp module installation

  1. Connect the projector power cable to the wall outlet, and then turn on the projector.

  2. Press the Power button once on the remote control or XCP to confirm that the projector is operating and that the lamp module is correctly installed.

  3. Adjust the projector image if necessary (see Adjusting the image).

  4. Access the service menu to reset the lamp hours (see Resetting the lamp hours).

  5. Activate the projector’s alert e-mails and lamp warnings if they’ve been deactivated (see E-mail alerts and Control panel).
