Vidikron Model 85 User Manual

The lamp should be replaced when it reaches the end of its life (typically 2000 hours), or 
sooner if a noticeable degradation in brightness occurs. Contact your Vidikron dealer to 
obtain a replacement lamp.

1.

Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. Allow the projector to cool down for 
approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement.

2.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two 
Lamp Cover screws on the side of the 
projector and remove the cover.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.

Remove the three Phillips round-head lamp assembly mounting screws. These are 
identified by arrows pointing to them on the lamp housing.

4.

Grasp the lamp assembly handle and pull gently, removing the lamp module from the 
projector housing.

5.

Install the new lamp module. Secure it in place with the three screws that you removed 
in Step 3.

6.

Replace the lamp cover and re-tighten the two Lamp Cover screws.

7.

Re-connect the AC power cord to the projector.

8.

Reset the Lamp Hour counter. To do this, press and hold the ENTER, DOWN and RIGHT 
buttons on the projector rear-panel keypad (see Figure 2-6) simultaneously. Then, press 
the ON button. When you do, “LAMP 0000H” appears on-screen to confirm the counter 
reset.
