1-5. Service Mode (Network Volume)
1-5-1. Outline
This unit is provided with a network terminal. Using a Web browser, it can check the state of a projector
and control and set the network blocks.
Additionally, this unit is able to check the information of the projector through a network as a service-
dedicated function.
1. Connection of projector and PC

. Set using a CAT5 cross cable so that the network setting of the projector and PC is the same in a
subnet when connecting a projector and PC directly.
. Connect PC to the LAN so as to adjust the network setting of PC to LAN operating environment
when a projector is connected to LAN.
2. IP address confirmation
Turn on the power of a projector and display a menu screen. On the [Connection/Power] screen of a
menu, confirm the IP address of the projector.
3. Entering the service mode

To use a service-dedicated function, enter the service mode. To enter the service mode, enter the
following in the address bar of a Web browser (Internet Explorer 6/7/8):
http:// (IP address of projector) /service/
You are prompted to enter a user name and password. Enter them as follows:
User name: service
Password: (Lower-case model name) Example: vpl-sw526, vpl-sw536, or vpl-sx526
n
When moving from the service mode to other pages and entering the service mode again, close a Web
browser once and start the Web browser again.

1-7. Lead-free Solder
Boards requiring use of lead-free solder are printed with a lead free mark (LF) indicating the solder
contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with the lead free mark due to their particular
size.)
: LEAD FREE MARK
m
. Be sure to use the lead-free solder for the printed circuit board printed with the lead free mark.
. The lead-free solder melts at a temperature about 40 dC higher than the ordinary solder, therefore, it is
recommended to use the soldering iron having a temperature regulator.
. The ordinary soldering iron can be used but the iron tip has to be applied to the solder joint for a slightly
longer time. The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the heated tip is applied for too long, so
be careful.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem,

perform the following safety checks before
releasing the set to the customer :
Check the metal trim, metallized knobs,

screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC
leakage. Check leakage as described below.
LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part

to earth ground and from all exposed metal
parts to any exposed metal part having a return
to chassis, must not exceed 3.5 mA. Leakage
current can be measured by any one of three
methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the

Simpson 229 or RCA WT-540A. Follow the
manufacturers instructions to use these
instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The
Data Precision 245 digital multimeter is
suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor
by means of a VOM or battery-operated AC
voltmeter. The limit indication is 5.25 V, so
analog meters must have an accurate low-
voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa
SH-63Trd are examples of a passive VOM
that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated
digital multimeters that have a 20 V AC
range are suitable. (See Fig. A)
