SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. MAINTAINING OPERATOR SAFETY
(1). PREVENTING ELECTRIC SHOCKS
• Turn off the power switch and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet before carrying out
any disassembly and assembly work on this projector.
• If power needs to be supplied to the projector while the cover is removed (such as when making
adjustments), take off any metallic objects such as wristwatches, shirt cuff buttons, rings and tie
pins which may pose the danger of coming into contact with the projector.
(2). PREVENTING INJURY

• Projector components such as the lamp inner housing and the area around it may still remain hot
after the power has been turned off, even when the cool-down period is compete. Furthermore, if
removing the cover in order to carry out adjustments while power is being supplied to the projector,
be careful not to touch the fans (intake and exhaust).
• Always wear gloves when disassembling and reassembling the scanner in order to avoid injury
from metallic parts with sharp edges.
• Do not look directly into the projector's lens while power is being supplied to the projector, other-
wise injury to the eyes may occur.
(3). PREVENTING ACCIDENTS

• Place the projector on a stable, level surface when carrying out any repair or adjustment work, to
prevent the projector and its components from slipping and falling down. Furthermore, do not
place any tools or projector components on top of or underneath the projector.
• Avoid working on the projector in places where other people might receive injuries from touching
the projector while it is in a state of disassembly. Furthermore, do not leave the projector unat-
tended in the workplace at such times.
• When turning on the projector's power, always use the accessory power cord to connect the projec-
tor to the power supply, and always make sure that the power supply is properly grounded.
2. MAINTAINING THE PROJECTOR IN GOOD CONDITION

(1). PREVENTING STATIC ELECTRICAL DAMAGE
• When disassembling and assembling the projector, always use a grounding strap and a grounding
mat. Furthermore, when replacing electrical circuit components (such as circuit boards and optical
engine), touch the static-proof bag containing the new parts against a metallic section of the projec-
tor before removing the component from the static-proof bag.
(2). USE OF GENUINE PARTS

• When replacing the structural components inside the projector (including the lamp inner housing),
use only replacement parts supplied by EPSON and listed in the projector's Parts List.
• Use the accessory power cord and interface cable provided with the projector.
(3). SAFETY TESTING

• The following tests should be carried out on repair parts used in the LCP.
* These are simplified tests that can be carried out at a repair centre that is not equipped with full
safety testing equipment.

2). Illumination check

• Test conditions: Input a PC or video signal to the LCP and check the illumination for about 5
minutes.
• Judgment: Projector should operate normally with no smoke or fire.
3). Other
• Check that the connectors at both ends of the power cord are not dirty or bent, and clean them if
they are dirty. Furthermore, if there is any noticeable discoloration on the power cord, it should be
replaced (to prevent the chance of fire due to flashover).
• When connecting the connector cables and interface cables inside the projector, make sure that the
cable connectors are pushed on as far as they will go.
• To prevent problems caused by dirt getting into the optical system, always disassemble and assem-
ble the projector in an area which is free from floating dust.
• When disconnecting the cable connected to CN400 of the MA board assembly and CN600 of the IF
board assembly from the board connectors, release the connector locks. (When releasing the con-
nector lock, push up both ends of the connector simultaneously with tweezers or like.)

Overview of display operation

1). The MA board receives RGB/Component signals from the Computer/Component Video interface.
The MA board receives video signals (S-Video or Video) from the Video/S-Video interface. (Analog
signals are converted to digital signals by the MA board.)
2). The display signals (in digital format) are momentarily stored in the video memory on the MA
board, and then the DR board generates signals to drive the R, G and B light valves.
3). The R, G and B light valves control the amount of light which passes through the valves.
4). The light which passes through the light valves is integrated by the prism and is then projected as an
image via the projection lens unit.

name of optical engine.
• Do not subject the optical system components to any shocks, and do not disassemble the light guide
unit, otherwise color distortion may occur.
• Each component is adjusted at the factory for installation in its particular position.
• Furthermore, the data which is used to compensate for optical system characteristics is stored on the
MA board. Accordingly, do not individually replace any of the components with components from
other optical engines.

EMP-S1/S1H
Table 2-1.Component Functions

Component name Function/Other
Lamp inner unit It is a light source for projecting an image.
Light guide unit The light guide unit disperses the light from the light source via lens arrays A and B in
order to provide uniform illumination. In addition, a UV filter removes any harmful ultra-
violet light from the LCD. After this light is polarized, it is then split into 3 spectrums (R,
G and B).
POP unit The intensity of the distributed components of the RGB light is controlled by means of
the light valve.
The prism unit integrates the red, green and blue light and sends it through the projection
lens.
Projection lens The image condensed by the prism is projected.
2.1.4. Lamp inner unit

This unit includes the lamp inner unit (EMP-S1 is UHE-132W. EMP-S1H is UHE-130W.) and ballast
power supply connector. The lamp is a consumable part fastened to the bottom of the projector body
with 2 screws.
The luminance of the lamp inner unit becomes lower over time as the lamp is used. The maximum
degree of luminance is obtained when the lamp is first being used, but after approximately 2000 hours
of usage time, the luminance will drop to about half of this.The ballast power supply connector is used
to supply the AC voltage for driving the lamp to the ballast unit. The lead wires are connected to the
lamp.
Ballast power supply connector
Figure 2-6
As mentioned above, the luminance of the lamp inner unit becomes lower over time as the lamp is used.
This projector's lamp has an operating life of approximately 2000 hours, but it is recommended that you
replace the lamp inner unit before the full 2000-hour period has been reached if it seems that the lumi-
nance of the lamp is very low during actual use.

EMP-S1/S1H
The cumulative operating time for the lamp inner unit is stored in IC403 (I/F Controller) on the MA
board.
When the cumulative operating time reaches 2000 hours
This represents the end of the useful operating life of the lamp. When the lamp is replaced, the lamp
timer should be reset. Use the "Reset Lamp Timer" function in the "About" menu to reset the lamp
timer. After replacing the lamp, use the "About" menu to reset the lamp usage time.
The circuit diagram is shown in Figure 2-7.

2.9. TEMPERATURE CONTROL
2.9.1. Sensors and Switches

This projector is equipped with the devices shown in the table below in order to protect the safety of the
operator and maintain general safety with regard to the projector itself (by preventing abnormalities in
operation).
Table 2-4:
Name Installation position/Type Function/Application
Lamp cover detection switch Inside base of projector Interrupts AC power when the lamp lid is
opened. (Power cannot be turned on.)
Safety switch Thermal switch on side face of optical Prevents overheating around the lamp
engine (lamp guide unit) inner unit. Interrupts AC power when the
temperature rises above a certain level.
LAMP thermistor Side face of optical engine (lamp guide Prevents overheating around the lamp
unit) inner unit. Turns off the lamp when the
temperature rises above a certain level.
(1). Lamp lid detection switch

This switch is installed on the inside base of projector, and moves in conjunction with the lamp lid
latch. If it were possible to turn on the power while the lamp lid was still open, the lamp would turn
on and generate high temperatures. This lid is normally opened when the operator is replacing the
lamp inner unit, and so the switch is provided in order to prevent the danger of injury from burns
which could occur if the lamp turned on accidentally.
Lamp lid
Figure 2-23
The lamp lid detection switch is connected to CN601 of the MA board. When the lamp lid opens,
IC403 (IFCPU) detects the lamp lid open signal. When the lamp lid has opened, the lamp forced
OFF signal is output from IC403 (IFCPU) to turn off the lamp.

EMP-S1/S1H
(2). Safety switch

This is an overheat preventing temperature switch mounted on the upper face of the light guide
unit. If overheating occurs around the lamp inner unit due to the contamination or like of the
exhaust fan, the lamp is normally turned off by the LAMP thermistor to prevent overheating.
The safety switch is provided in consideration of the case where overheating and LAMP thermistor
or temperature detection circuit fault occur simultaneously.
Safety switch
Figure 2-24 Safety switch
When the temperature rises above a given level, the safety switch interrupts AC power to stop all
regulation operations. Once the safety switch is activated, power cannot be switched on again until
the temperature falls below the given level.
(3). LAMP thermistor

The LAMP thermistor is screwed together with the exhaust fan to detect the temperature of the
lamp section. To prevent damage to the peripheral area due to the overheating of the lamp inner
unit, IC300 (PW164B) on the MA board gives a warning with the temperature indicator or stops
the output of the ballast power supply (lamp power supply) when the temperature rises above a
given level.
LAMP thermistor
Figure 2-25 LAMP thermistor

EMP-S1/S1H
(4). Thermistor and temperature sensor operation

IC300 (PW164B) on the MA board mainly detects the temperatures (resistances) of the optical
block section and power supply section at intervals of 1 second by means of the LAMP thermistor.
IC300 (PW164B) carries out fan control and power supply shutdown operations based on the mea-
surement results.

(2). Operation control

• The MA board is connected to the LAMP thermistor. The driver CPU controls the operation of the
two fans (FAN 100 and FAN 80) based on the temperatures detected by the thermistors.
• The signals that are output by IC901 (driver CPU) on the MA board are used to change the output
from the fan drive circuit (regulator) on the MA board in order to control the FAN 100 and FAN
80.
• The feedback signals from the fans are used by the CPU to monitor the operation of the fans
(stopped or running) for any abnormalities. If the feedback signal indicates a condition which the
CPU does not expect, the CPU judges that there is an abnormality in the operation of the fan and
immediately turns off the lamp and causes the warning indicator to light red.
• The fan at the power supply unit operates at high speed or low speed based on the signal which is
generated by IC902 (IFCPU) on the MA board.
(3). Fan operation

(When lamp is on)
FAN 100 (LV FAN) : Adjusts speed according to set temperatures from the thermistor.
FAN 80 (EX FAN) : Adjusts speed according to set temperatures from the thermistor.
(When cool-down is in progress)
• The fans operate for approximately 20 second cool-down time after the lamp is turned off.

• If replacing projector parts in the course of troubleshooting, replace the whole service unit which
contains the part that needs to be replaced.
• The optical engine (comprising the light guide unit, prism unit and light valves form a single ser-
vice part and MA Board. Accordingly, the individual components should not be disassembled or be
replaced with other components (because the components have all been adjusted with respect to
each other).
• Carry out the safety tests after parts replacement is completed.

Remedy for power supply problems

(1). Determine whether the problem is being caused by components inside the power supply unit, or
whether it is being caused by some external factor.
(2). The basis for judging this is by checking factors such as output voltage, internal temperature,
appearance of components, odors and smoke.
(3). If the cause is judged to be an internal problem, replace the power supply unit.
(4). If the newly-replaced power supply unit also has a problem and the symptoms are the same as
before, then the cause of the problem is probably some external factor.
(5). If the problem is caused by an external factor, eliminate the external factor that is causing the prob-
lem.
(6). If the power supply unit is recoverable but is not working properly (such as if high temperatures
are causing the thermostat to isolate the power supply, or the overcurrent protection circuit has
operated), then there is no need to replace the power supply unit.
(7). If the power supply unit is not recoverable and is not working properly (such as if overcurrent has
blown a fuse), replace the power supply unit.
(8). If there is a problem with the power supply fan, the power supply will be shut down after several minutes
operation (the indicators will switch off). In such cases, replace the power supply unit.

Chapter 4 Disassembly & Assembly
EMP-S1/S1H
4.1. DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY
This chapter describes the procedures for disassembling and assembling the main components of the
EMP-S1/S1H projector.
Except where indicated separately, all procedures for re-assembling the disassembled assemblies and
components should be carried out by following the disassembly procedures in reverse.
(1). Preparation
1). Take off any metallic objects such as wristwatches, shirt cuff buttons, rings and tie pins which may
pose the danger of coming into contact with the projector.
2). Always wear gloves when disassembling and reassembling the projector.
3). When disassembling and assembling the projector, always use a grounding strap and a grounding
mat.
4). Turn off the power for both the projector and the host computer before connecting them.
5). Disconnect the power cord from both the projector and the electrical outlet.
6). Disconnect all interface cables that are still connected.
7). Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the air filter, interface panel and outer case.
(2). Tools and Equipment

The tools and equipment in the following table will be needed, and should be made ready before-
hand.

(3). Precautions for servicing

Section 4.2 explains the details of disassembling the mechanism. The optical engine is a single ser-
vice part. For servicing, therefore, use a combination (optical engine) of the light guide unit, prism
unit and light valves. The component parts of the optical engine require mechanical installation
positions to be adjusted and the electrical correction values (image adjustment data) in the control
circuits to be written.
! Caution:
• Do not disassemble the optical engine.
• Do not replace the component parts of the optical engine with other parts.

EMP-S1/S1H
1). Light guide unit

The installation positions of the light valves (R/G/B) are adjusted before shipment from the factory.
If these adjusted positions change, pixel displacements will occur, disabling the projection of a nor-
mal image.
The positions of the condenser lenses and mirrors inside the light guide unit are adjusted at the time
of shipment from the factory to provide the optimum quality of image display. If the positions are
changed, or if the location where any given part is used is changed, screen image distortion will
occur and cause a lack of image clarity.
! Caution:
• If the positions of adjustment screws are changed or if the upper guide cover is removed from the
light guide unit, there is the danger that the positions of the lenses and mirrors might get changed.
Furthermore, dust may get inside the light guide unit. Because of these factors, the light guide unit
should never be disassembled.
• The EMP-S1/S1H is adjusted to extremely high levels of precision, and field adjustments of the light
guide unit are not possible.
• Do not loosen the prism unit and polarization plate mounting screws.
2). Control circuit adjustments

As described above the optical system mechanism contains several location where mechanical
adjustments are required. The control circuit also possesses its own unique characteristics (such as
display signal output drivers) which differ from projector to projector, and there are also unique
differences in each optical system mechanism (such as in the light valves). In order to obtain the
optimum display, it is necessary to eliminate these differences in electrical and mechanical charac-
teristics as well as to make mechanical adjustments. Because of this, the various correction values
are set at the time of shipment from the factory and are stored in a flash ROM on the MA board
assembly.
! Caution:
• Special tools and specialist technology are required in order to write the correction values into the
flash ROM, and such adjustments cannot be carried out in the field.
(4). Points to note when working

Detailed points to note are given in each section, so be sure to read them thoroughly before commenc-
ing work. Below are several general points which should be noted.
• When the projector is disassembled, the dust in and around parts such as the fans and air filter may
get transferred to other parts such as the R, G and B light valves which are the central part of the
display mechanism, and this may have an adverse effect on the quality of projected images.
Accordingly, check whether any of the parts are dusty or dirty, and use a vacuum cleaner to clean
them first before carrying out disassembly work.
• The optical engine and the circuit boards are very sensitive to static electricity. Place them inside
static-proof bags once they have been removed from the projector.
• When carrying out any of the following operations, check that there is no dust or dirt on the respec-
tive components or on any lens and glass surfaces before installation. If any such contamination is
found, clean it off using is opropyl alcohol.
1. Optical engine removal
2. Lamp inner unit removal
3. Air filter removal
• The speaker unit contains a permanent magnet, so keep it away from any storage media such as
floppy disks and magnetic cards.
• The optical engine is very sensitive to vibration and shocks, so handle it with care.
• Do not disassemble any components (such as the power supply unit) which do not have express dis-
assembly procedures described in this Service Manual.
