Projector Cleaning and General Maintenance

The light source inside the Projector is the primary light source responsible to deliver high brightness projection. Depending on the type of light source, Lamp, LED or Laser, light source can emit high amount of heat and can get warmer with increased brightness as larger output of electricity is necessary. For example, a typical lamp can reach temperature of up to 300 degree Celsius.

To ensure the Projector does not overheat, cooling down a Projector mainly involve the use of one or more fans inside the Projector to draw in cool air and exhaust warm air. Airflow for cooling can accumulate dust and other particles over time.

It is important to note after long usage of a Projector that buildup of dust can eventually hinder air circulation and cause the Projector to overhead. As a safety precaution the Projector can automatically shut down or avoid turning on completely if the Projector detects overheating. Other symptoms include washed out colours or unclear projection.

How quickly the dust accumulates depends on the operating environment and the settings of the Projector. BenQ suggests to clean the Projector regularly with a vacuum cleaner from the outside around the vents area. Otherwise, it is recommended to clean the Projector when the equivalent lamp or light source hour has reached 50% of its rated total light source life.

When the Projector equivalent lamp or light source usage hour has reached close to its rated total light source life, it is highly recommended to have the Projector cleaned and serviced by a BenQ authorised service provider. There may be a charge for the service depending on the warranty status and the actual condition of the Projector.

About Projector Light Source and Equivalent Lamp or Light Source Usage Hour

Light Source employed in the use of BenQ Projectors, whether the technology is Lamp, LED, or Laser, are consumable parts. The value expressed in hours represents the minimum equivalent lamp or light source usage hours before the brightness is at half or less of its original brightness, or before it may no longer produce enough light for the Projector to perform up to its expected standard.

It is a normal phenomenon for the projector light source to decrease brightness over time. Should the performance of the lamp fail to meet the minimum lamp hour, the lamp is considered as a defect and can be claimed as in warranty service.

Industry standard tools and software is used in order to correctly judge the brightness of the light source. BenQ reserves the right to refuse a warranty claim for repair or replacement of the light source if the failure does not meet the above condition.

For more information on equivalent lamp or light source hour, handling, maintenance and prolonging the life of lamp and the Projector, please refer to the User Manual of your BenQ Product.
