Temperature monitor operation
The temperature monitor system is provided to prevents
damage of optical components (the LCD panel and po-
larization film etc.) inside a projector from overheat.
Two protection systems are provided. Each system op-
eration as follows :
The temperature monitor -1:
● To control the air-flow of the cooling fans.
The CPU checks the temperature and atmospheric
pressure inside a projector. It checks a temperature
using temperature sensors IC8811 and IC8856, and it
checks an atmospheric pressure using pressure sen-
sor-IC886. The CPU judges data from sensors and
controls the air flow of the cooling fans so the tem-
perature inside the projector is maintained to normal
temperature.
●To shut down the projector urgently.
The IC301 checks temperature of LCD panel periph-
ery (IC8856) and intake air (IC8811). If each part tem-
perature reaches abnormal temperature, the CPU will
turn off the projector, and will blink WARNING TEMP.
indicator at intervals of 0.5 seconds. Cooling fans op-
erate until temperature returns to normal.
The temperature monitor -2 :
● Temperature check of lamps :
Temperature switches (SW903, SW904) are placed
near the lamps. Temperature switches will operate,
if temperature reaches 100 ºC. When temperature
switches become open, they cut off 12 line, the pow-
er failure "PF_TH" signal become Low, and then the
IC301 will shut down the projector, and indicates the
error on the projector with the LED indicators ( LAMP
indicator : On, other indicators: blinking).
NOTE : SENSORS OPERATION
■ The sensor's operation is as follows:
IC886 : For FAN control
IC8856 : Inside air temperature monitor (Panel)
IC8811: Inside air temperature monitor (Room)

indicator will be blinking.

around the lamp1 or 2 rises
abnormally , the LAMP indi-
cator is lighting and other
indicators are blinking.
The temperature
switch is operated?
If the temperature
around FET goes up
abnormally, a PFC cir-
cuit will be shut down.
The temperature switch is
operated?
When the temperature
around a lamp driver reach-
es 85 degrees, the lamp bal-
last will be shut down and
a lamp error signal changes
from L to H.
Temperature sensors location can be seen on
"protections"( page-8).
