Lamp change

Metal halide lamp HTI 300 W/DX, 750 h, No. 6093

Do not use any other type of lamp!

Important:

The metal halide lamp reaches high temperatures and operates under

high pressure. Inside the lamp house some parts are under high

voltage. Keep off.

Switch off the projector, disconnect it from the mains and let it cool

down for 20 minutes before changing the lamp. Once it is cold, the

lamp is no longer under pressure and therefore harmless.

The defective lamp should be disposed of according to local regula-

tions. Don´t throw it away with the household garbage.

Turn out the safety screw (13) at the projection head (9).

Press the release button (13 a) and take off the top (fig. 3 + 4).

Take out the defective lamp.

Hold the new lamp only at its metal parts – remove existing nuts

first, they are not needed. Carefully insert the new lamp in the centre

of the metal sockets until it engages.

The lamp is in its correct position if it fits into the grooves of the

sockets, and the metal seal on the lamp cylinder points sidewards to

the fan (fig. 5).

Never touch the bulb with your bare fingers. If it happens, clean the

bulb with a soft cloth and alcohol.

Put back the top of the projection head. First insert the two front

hooks of the cover into the slots of the bottom, and then close the

case until the catch on the rear side engages.

Don´t forget to fix the safety screw (13) (fig. 3 + 4).

Switch on the projector and press the reset button (5) 3 seconds,

e. g. with the top of a ball-point pen, until the LED flashes up for a

moment. Thus the lamp life indicator is put back to “0”.

This document describes the Kindermann Famulus reflex M overhead projector, model number 6090.

Function Description

The Famulus reflex M is an overhead projector designed for projecting transparencies. It utilizes a metal halide lamp to achieve high light output, making it suitable for various projection environments. The projector supports DIN A4 transparencies in both vertical and horizontal formats, projecting them onto a working surface. It features an automatic focusing device for upward projection, ensuring a sharp image. The device is equipped with an overheating protection system that automatically switches off the lamp if it gets too hot, and a quick fuse change mechanism for easy maintenance.

Usage Features

Setup and Initial Use: To set up the projector, place it on a horizontal, solid surface. Lift the projection arm (8) until it engages, then swivel the projection head (9) forward into a horizontal position. Open the lens mirror (10) completely. Connect the power cable (14) to the socket (1) on the projector and plug it in. Ensure the voltage on the label (2) matches the local voltage. The lens mirror (10) should remain open while the projector is in operation due to high temperatures at its focal point.

Projection: Switch on the projector using the main switch (3). The metal halide lamp will reach full brightness in about 1 minute. After starting a cold projector, do not switch off the lamp for at least 5 minutes. A hot lamp, however, can be switched off and on at any time. Adjust picture height with the lens mirror (10). Sharpness is adjusted by moving the pin at the projection lens (11). The automatic focusing device provides a razor-sharp image for upward projection. For optimal image quality, transparencies should be removed from their covers and laid flat on the working surface.

Safety and Warnings: The metal halide lamp operates under high pressure and reaches high temperatures; some parts inside the lamp house are under high voltage. Do not touch the protective glass (12) in front of the lamp during operation as it gets very hot. Do not look directly into the projection light due to its high light output. Ensure ventilation grilles on the projection head and body are unobstructed during operation to prevent overheating.

Transport: To prepare for transport, switch off the projector via the on/off switch (3) and disconnect it from the mains. Protect the working surface with the foam layer. Close the lens mirror (10), grip the projection head (9) at its bottom, and swivel it back until it engages. Gently press the projection column (8) backward while simultaneously pressing the release button (7) to fold the projection column and head forward.

Troubleshooting Colour Fringes: If colour fringes appear on the projected image, it may be due to the Fresnel lens (6) not being properly positioned. Press down the edges of the lens onto the frame using a cloth, not bare fingers.

Maintenance Features

Lamp Change: The metal halide lamp (HTI 300 W/DX, No. 6093) has an average life of 750 hours. Do not use any other type of lamp. Before changing the lamp, switch off the projector, disconnect it from the mains, and allow it to cool for 20 minutes. Once cool, the lamp is no longer under pressure and is harmless. To change the lamp, turn out the safety screw (13) at the projection head (9). Press the release button (13a) and remove the top (fig. 3 + 4). Take out the defective lamp. Handle the new lamp only by its metal parts, removing any existing nuts first. Carefully insert the new lamp into the metal sockets until it engages, ensuring it fits into the grooves and the metal seal points sidewards to the fan (fig. 5). Avoid touching the bulb with bare fingers; if touched, clean it with a soft cloth and alcohol. Replace the top of the projection head by inserting the front hooks into the slots of the bottom, then closing until the catch engages. Fix the safety screw (13). After changing the lamp, switch on the projector and press the reset button (5) for 3 seconds until the LED flashes to reset the lamp life indicator to "0". Defective lamps should be disposed of according to local regulations, not with household garbage.

LED for Lamp Change Indicator: The LED for lamp change (4) indicates the lamp's status:

Several flashes after switching on: Normal function.
Permanent flashing: Risk of lamp failure; change the lamp as soon as possible.
Permanent light: Imminent lamp change required. After the normal life time, there is an increased risk that the lamp may burst. The warranty depends on the condition of the lamp, not solely on the LED indication.

Fuse Change: The fuse (T 6.3 AH) is defective if both the lamp and fan fail. To check or change the fuse, pull out the fuse holder at socket (1). The active fuse is inside, and the spare fuse is outside.

Cleaning: If the protective glass (12) is dirty, remove dust with a damp cloth. First unplug the projector, let it cool down, then remove the glass after loosening the 3 holding screws. The fan will continue to run for 1-3 seconds after switching off the projector.

Disposal of the Product: If the dust bin symbol on the label is crossed out, the product should not be disposed of with normal household garbage. This is to prevent harm to the environment and human health.

When ordering spare parts, always quote the reference number and serial number of your projector.
