Maintenance Features

To ensure safe and prolonged operation, regular maintenance is crucial.

Safety Tips:

Non-professional personnel should not remove fittings without permission.
Verify that the AC power supply meets the rated voltage requirements and ensure proper grounding.
Avoid using damaged power cords or overlapping them with other wires.
Maintain a minimum distance of 10 meters from any easily flammable or explosive materials and 2.5 meters from the irradiation distance. Do not install the lamps directly onto flammable surfaces.
Keep the device away from liquid materials and wet environments.
Ensure proper grounding before use and avoid installing or removing parts while powered.
Fasten fixing screws securely and use safety cables during installation. Regularly check for wear and tear on safety ropes and loose hook screws.
Continuous working time should not exceed 10 hours, with a minimum 10-minute interval between continuous starts to prevent overheating and ensure normal bulb triggering.
Stop using the lamp immediately if any issues arise.
Replace the bulb promptly when it reaches its rated service life to prevent dangerous explosions.
Regularly check and tighten rotating parts and accessories to prevent loosening and shaking.
Clean the device, especially the cooling tuyere, at least once a month to prevent dust accumulation and ensure proper heat dissipation.

Troubleshooting and Processing Methods: The manual provides a detailed list of common issues and their solutions, categorized as follows:

Light Bulbs: Addresses issues like incomplete cooling, bulb service life, leakage/poor contact of bulb lines, and replacing the bubbler.
Dim Beam: Checks bulb service life and cleanliness of optical parts/light bulbs.
Blurred Projected Image: Verifies electron focus channel value suitability for projection distance.
Intermittent Computer Lights: Checks fan operation, internal temperature control switch, and bulb service life.
Computer Lamp Not Accepting Controller Control: Checks initial address code, communication line connection, signal amplifier, and potential damage from ultra-high voltage leakage.
Computer Light Cannot Be Started: Checks power input socket fuse, loose connections due to transportation, and input power/computer board/connector devices.

Maintenance and Insurance:

Shutdown Operation: Close the bulb 10 minutes before shutting down to allow the cooling fan to dissipate heat, extending the life of accessories and the bulb.
Cleaning: Keep the lamps clean to maintain maximum brightness output and prolong service life. Use high-quality glass cleaner and a soft cloth for cleaning, and a vacuum cleaner for internal cleaning every six months.
