(1).LAMP INNER UNIT

This unit consists of the lamp inner housing and the ballast power supply connector. The lamp
fixed on the base of the lower case is user replaceable item you can purchase it at EPSON
service center.
The average brightness of the lamp is reduced corresponding to its running hours. When the
lamp is new, its brightness is maximum. After running about 1400 hours, the lamp reduces its
brightness to almost half of a new one.
The power connector is applied to receive the AC voltage from the ballast unit, so its lead wire
is connected to the lamp.
Power connectors
Figure2-6
1. The lamp inner unit

The brightness of the light source lamp reduces in proportion to its running hours as
mentioned above. In this device the standard lamp life is 1400 hours. If you notice the lamp
brightness reduces, we recommend you to replace the lamp inner unit even before 1400
hours.
The total running hour of the lamp inner unit is written in IC109 (EEPROM) on the MA
Board. If the lamp is reaching or has reached the end of its life, IC502 (power save
controller) outputs some signals to control the following.
(1)When the cumulative running time reaches 1,400 hours (1,400 hours or more), the prob
lem/warning indicator flashes red at 1-second intervals. The controller (IC502) on the MA
board monitors the cumulative running time and writes the data to IC109. The lamp will
only continue to operate for 100 hours after the problem/warning indicator starts to flash, so
you should replace the lamp as soon as possible at this time.
(2)When the cumulative running time reaches 1500 hours
The normal operating life of the lamp inner unit is 1500 hours.
Please perform "Reset Lamp Timer" with an "About Menu" after exchanging lamps.

2. Light guide unit

The light guide unit consists of three output filters (R, G and B). It filters out harmful
ultraviolet radiation from the light which is output from the lamp inner unit, and also
disperses the light so that even luminance is obtained. Inside the light guide unit are
lenses for dispersing the light from the light source, and mirrors for separating the light
into its spectral components. The diagram below shows internal views of the light guide
unit

(2). Outline of function

The power supply units output cable is connected to the CN1100 (P/S) connector on the
MA board, and is used to connect the following voltages and signals.
PWDS signal for the power down detection,
DC output (+2.5V/+3.3V/+5V/+9V/+14V/+19V/-7V),
Fan control signal (FANCL)...The control signal of the fan in the power supply unit.
Power on/off signal (PWON),
Trickle power (+3.3V/+5V).
! Caution:
If the AC power cable is still connected after the power is shut off, +3.3V and +5V trickle
background voltage are supplied to the MA board via CN1100(P/S) connector. The trickle
voltage is subsequently supplied to the power on/off circuit.
The EMI filter and primary regulator circuit work to neglect noise on the AC line and
generate DC voltage for the regulator.
Two of the regulator generates the various level of DC voltage as shown in the next table
in the switching regulator. (The inside of () shows "EMP-51/71")The regulator detects the
voltage output level at the +5V line and feed back to the switching circuit to maintain the
constant output level regardless the load variation.
Each output voltage level is not adjustable.

(2). Outline of function

Circuit function is almost same with EMP-50/51, EMP-70/71 MA board except video
control, thus this paragraph explains EMP-50 MA board functions.
IC502(Power save controller) and related circuits are backed up with +3.3V and +5V
which provided from power supply as trickle power. (If the AC cable is connected to the
AC source, power supply provides the +3.3V and +5V for back-up bias even if the power
is turned off condition.)
When the power is turned on with power button on the switch panel or remote to controller,
IC502 on the MA board generate the reset signal and initialize the circuit, and the CPU
reads the program from mask ROM and write it into SRAM. Then the CPU initialize the
circuit functions according to the program and indicates the initial image.
Two thermistors (L/V thermistor/LAMP thermistor) detects temperature. If the temperature
exceeds certain degrees, the thermistors signal generates interrupt signal to the IC502
and change the fan operation or shut off the power supply regulation.
These display data are write into the video memory (SRAM) then read out again with
resizing processor.
Video input (S-Video/Video In) signal are provided via IF board. These input signal are
converted to digital with A/D chroma processor and stored into the SRAM.
The EEPROM and timer circuit provided the operating time control of the lamp inner unit.
Its operation is described below.
Total running hours are stored to the IC109 (EE-PROM) and increment until new lamp
innerhousing detection.
Table 2-3

2.10.2. Lamp Cover Detection Switch

This switch is installed on the side of the power supply unit and interlocks with the tab of the
lamp cover. If you can turn on the projector with the lamp cover open, the (lamp inner unit)
runs and generates the high heat. For replacing the lamp inner unit you open the cover. For
this reason, the switch is installed to protect you from burn.
Lamp Cover Detection Switch
The Lamp Cover Detection Switch is installed on the AC input line of the power supply unit.
Consequently, if the lamp cover is open, the AC power source is shut off and you can not turn
on the power.

EMP-50/51(SVGA) , 70/71(XGA)
2.10.3. SAFETY SWITCH

This is the thermal switch for overheat protection installed on the light guide unit (lamp inner
unit area). If overheat condition is caused by the contamination of the exhaust fan, normally
the LAMP thermistor temporarily shuts off the lamp inner unit to protect it from overheat. The
safety switch is installed, considering the LAMP thermistor trouble in overheat condition.
Safety switch
Figure2-23
A cable with fasteners connects the safety switch and the lamp cover sensor switch. If the
temperature rises above a certain level, the AC power supply is isolated and all regulating
operations are stopped. (AC power is shut off and this switch runs once, you can not start up
the power, before the temperature decrease to certain degrees.) In this case, you must also
consider the thermistor trouble or the MA Board trouble.
2.10.4. THERMISTOR AND TEMPERATURE SENSOR OPERATION

IC700 on the MA Board unit detects the temperature (resistance) with two thermistors in each
100ms. Two of thermistors are placed in the main body and mainly detect the temperature of
optical block area.
IC700 judge the following state according to the measurement result then change the fan
operation or shut down the power.

The four fans are connected by three lead wires. One of these is the signal line which
sends feedback on whether the fans are detected to be running or not.
The two thermistor (L/V thermistor/LAMP thermistor) are connected to the MA board. The
driver CPU controls two fan (Intake fan/Exhaust fan) according the detected temperature
of the thermistor.
IC700 (Driver CPU) on the MA Board always observe the fan operations by monitoring
feed back signals. If the feed back signal condition is different from expected, Controller
judge as fan abnormal condition then turns on temperature indicator in red and turn off
lamp with ballast power off.
Fan feed back signal is used for monitering the fan operation is correct or not with CPU. If
the feed back signal is not expected, CPU judge as fan trouble and turn on the
temperature indicator in red.
Power supply fan operate with slow or fast according to the FANCL signal which
generate from IC502 (PSCI) on the MA board.

3. Limitation of disassembly (Optical engine handling)

The disassembly of the mechanical section is detailed in paragraph 3.2. The optical engine is
one replaceable part. When you order the maintenance parts or request our repair service,
perform works by the units listed in the table. The optical components listed in the table are
required the mechanical alignment or electrical correction in the control circuit. (writing the
image adjustment data)
Table 3-2
1 Optical head unit These units are specified as Optical engine.
2 Prism unit (Treat as one replaceable part in the field
3 Light guide unit maintenance.)
* Do not disassemble the Optical engine.
* Do not exchange any unit on the optical engine to the others.
* The optical engine and the MA board should be handle as a single set.

EMP-50/51(SVGA) , 70/71(XGA)
3-1.Mechanical adjustments for optical engine.

(1). Optical Head Unit
The alignment (height/left and right/concurrent) of the polarization plates (include R/G/B light
valves) is applied in the factory. If the alignment is modified, clear color image will not be
made, because of the color divergence.
! Caution:
Do not apply any mechanical stress to the polarization plate, and also not loosen the screws.
(2). Prism Unit

To synthesize the light output from each polarization plate (include R/G/B light valves), the
alignment (concurrent to the polarization plate) of the prism unit is applied in our factory. If the
alignment is modified, clear image will not be made, because of the pixel divergence to R/G/B
synthesizing and projection lens unit, being out of focus and color uniformity.
! Caution:
Do not loosen the prism unit fixing screws.
(3). Light guide unit

The alignment of the light guide unit on the optical head unit is applied (gap and concurrent to
the polarization plate) in our factory. If the alignment is modified, clear image will not be made,
because of being out of the brightness uniformity on the display screen (brightness or chroma
is not uniform on the screen.)
In consideration of the alignment of the lens array and the mirrors, and also their
combinations, the factory setting is applied to the light guide unit to support the best display
performance. (If the alignment is modified or the location is changed, there comes distortion
on the display screen, therefore clear image will not be made.)
! Caution:
Do not disassemble the light guide unit. If you remove the upper guide cover from the unit, the
alignment of lenses or mirrors may be unintentionally changed and also dust may stick to the
unit.
Since EMP-50/50.EMP-70/71 requires very precise adjustment, it can not be adjusted in the
field.
(4). Electrical corrections (MA Board Assy)

The optical mechanism contains mechanical parts which require adjustment as described
above. There are also some individual differences for the control circuit (MA board) with items
such as the output driver for the display signal, and some individual differences in the optical
mechanism (such as the light valves) itself. In order to obtain the optimum display, these
electrical and mechanical differences need to be eliminated, rather than making mechanical
adjustments, and so a variety of correction values are written into the ROM at the time of
shipment from the factory. Accordingly, the optical mechanism (consisting of the optical head,
light guide unit, prism unit and projection lens unit) is designed as a single set (the optical
engine).

EMP-50/51(SVGA) , 70/71(XGA)
At the factory shipment, following correction data are stored in the Flash ROM on the MA
Board Assy according to the specified optical engine.
Gamma adjustment data
Flicker adjustment data
Ghost contrast adjustment data
Sub contrast adjustment data
Color unevenness correction data
*For the writing correction values, an expensive, special device and also skillful engineer are
necessary, therefore it can not adjust in the field.
3-2.Caution for field maintenance

Observe the following procedure, when you repair. Otherwise, display quality is not
guaranteed, and also EPSON repair service is not available.
1. Do not disassemble the block. (Do not loosen any screws.)
2. If any of the optical engine components are defective, replace the whole optical engine as a
single unit. And when you send back them to us for repair, send back them in set (by optical
engine).
3. The optical engine components are treated as a single unit, and thus the individual
components which make up this unit should never be installed as single components. (For
example, the prism unit must never be used by itself as a replacement for another prism
unit.)
4. Precautions
Precautions given to the individual assembly and disassembly procedures. Read them
carefully before starting the assembly or disassembly procedure. A set of general precautions
are given below.
As you disassemble the main unit, dust that is sticked to the internal fans and air filters is
likely to migrate and contaminate the light valves R, G, and B which are the heart of the
display mechanism, thus deteriorating the display quality.
Accordingly, before reassembling, check the dust inside of the main unit and, if necessary,
clean them with a vacuum cleaner.
The light valves R, G, and B and circuit board assemblies are highly sensitive to static
electricity. When you remove a optical engine or circuit board, place it in an antistatic bag
immediately.
When you perform the assembly or disassembly operations listed below, check the
pertinent unit and its surfaces for any dirt before reinstalling them. If the unit is found dirty,
clean it.
1. Removing the optical engine.
2. Removing the lamp inner housing.
The speaker unit incorporates a permanent magnet. Keep it away from electromagnetic
media such as floppy disks and magnetic cards.
Handle the optical engine (projection lens and light guide units) with care as they are
highly susceptible to vibration and shock.
Do not try to disassemble any part (ex.power supply unit) that is not covered in this
manual.
