CAUTION:

Do not drop the projector on your hand or fingers while lifting the projector to replace the filters. Doing so could injure your hand or fingers.

NEC NP4001-08ZL - CAUTION: - 1

Fire and Shock Precautions

NEC NP4001-08ZL - Fire and Shock Precautions - 1

  • Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 8 inches (20cm) of space between your projector and a wall.
  • Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the rear as it can become heated while the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off.
  • Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your project. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by qualified service personnel.
  • Do not place any objects on top of the projector.
  • Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.
  • The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.
  • Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.
  • Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The light being projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes.
  • Do not cover the lens with the black lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the cap and possibly burning your hands due to the heat emitted from the light output.
  • Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector lens or a projector exhaust vent. Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the light output and exhaust.
  • Handle the power cable carefully. A damaged or frayed power cable can cause electric shock or fire.

  • Do not use any power cables other than the one supplied by NEC.

  • Do not bend or tug the power cable excessively.
  • Do not place the power cable under the projector, or any heavy object.
  • Do not cover the power cable with other soft materials such as rugs.
  • Do not heat the power cable
  • Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.

- Turn off the projector, unplug the power cable and have the projector serviced by qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

- When the power cable or plug is damaged or frayed.

- If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water.

- If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions described in this user's manual.

- If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

- If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.

- Disconnect the power cable and any other cables before carrying the projector.

- Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable if the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time.

- When using a LAN cable:

- For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral device wiring that might have excessive voltage.

- Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable before cleaning the cabinet or replacing the lamp.

CAUTION:

- Always carry your projector by using the carrying handle.

- Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as using the tilt foot to carry or hang (from the wall or ceiling) the projector can cause damage to the projector.

- Do not send the projector in the soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside the soft case could be damaged.

- If heavy use for a number of consecutive days is expected, select the High setting in the Fan Mode window to reduce heat stress on the projector (see Fan Mode).

- Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet or projector when the projector is powered on. Doing so can cause damage to the AC IN connector of the projector and (or) the prong plug of the power cable.

- To turn off the AC power supply when the projector is powered on, use a power strip equipped with a switch and a breaker.

- The projector can be unplugged during its cool down period after it is turned off.

- Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the rear as it can become heated while the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off.

- Do not turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is blinking green. Doing so could cause premature lamp failure.

- Do not place your hands near the lens opening while shifting the lens. Shifting the lens could pinch your fingers or hands causing injury.

NEC NP4001-08ZL - CAUTION: - 1

NEC NP4001-08ZL - CAUTION: - 2

Remote Control Precautions

  • Handle the remote control carefully.
  • If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
  • Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
  • Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.
  • If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.
  • Ensure that you have the batteries' polarity (+/−) aligned correctly.
  • Do not use new and old batteries together, or use different types of batteries together.
  • Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.

Lamp Replacement

To replace either of the lamps, follow all instructions provided on page 107.

Be sure to replace the lamp when the following is displayed on the screen:

The lamp has reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the lamp.

If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury.

If this happens, contact your dealer for lamp replacement.

Important Lamp Characteristic

The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source.

A characteristic of mercury lamps is that brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on and off will increase the possibility of reduced brightness.

NEC NP4001-08ZL - Important Lamp Characteristic - 1

CAUTION:

When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projector. Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.

Operating Range for Wireless Remote Control

The infrared signal operates by line-of-sight up to a distance of about 22 feet (7m) and within a 60-degree angle of the remote sensor on the projector cabinet.

The projector will not respond if there are objects between the remote control and the sensor, or if strong light falls on the sensor. Weak batteries will also prevent the remote control from properly operating the projector.

Remote Control Precautions

The following precautions ensure that the remote operates correctly and safely.

  • Handle the remote control carefully.
  • If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
  • Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
  • Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.
  • For extended periods of inactivity, remove the batteries.
  • Ensure that the batteries' polarity (+/−) aligned correctly.
  • Do not use new and old batteries together, or different types of batteries together.
  • Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

Using the Remote Control in Wired Operation

Connect the supplied remote cable to the REMOTE2 jack on the projector (see ⑤ Terminal Panel Features on page 10) and the other end to the remote jack on the remote control (see item 1, ⑥ Part Names of the Remote Control on page 12).

Note:

Connecting the remote cable to the REMOTE2 jack on the terminal panel will make the wireless operation unavailable.

⑤ Replacing Color Wheel

The NP4001/NP4000 projector comes with a four-segment color wheel installed. An additional

six-segment color wheel comes included. To replace the color wheel (located under the lamp cover adjacent to lamp 1) refer to the following guide.

Note:

  • Before replacing the color wheel, be sure to turn off the projector, wait until the cooling fans stop, and turn off the main power switch.
  • Wait until the lamp house and the color wheel cool off.
  • Do not touch the disk of the color wheel. Doing so may scratch the disk or leave fingerprints, causing the image quality to degrade.
  • Heed the following information if you own two or more NP4001/NP4000 projectors:

When replacing or re-installing the color wheel, the original color wheel pre-installed or supplied as an accessory must go back to its original projector. Your color wheel and projector color wheel cover are given an identification number. Be sure to use the color wheel pre-installed or supplied with your projector to match its identification number.

If you remove a color wheel from one NP4001/NP4000 projector and re-install it into another NP4001/NP4000 projector, performance may be compromised.

  1. Loosen the captive screw (A) on the lamp cover.

  2. Remove the lamp cover by sliding in the direction of the arrow (B).

⑥ Making Connections

Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer

Enabling the computer's external display

Displaying an image on the notebook PC's screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usually, the combination of the Fn-key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external display selections.

To connect a PC or Macintosh computer to the projector, refer to the following guide.

  1. Connect a computer to the projector through one of the three available input data connections before turning on the PC or the projector. The best signal order (from best to least suitable) is as follows:

CAUTION

NEC NP4001-08ZL - CAUTION - 1

Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

To prevent discoloration or fading, avoid getting cleaner on the projector case.

Cleaning the Filters

The projector uses three filters to keep the fans free of dust and other particles, and should be cleaned every 500 hours of operation. In dustier environments, it is recommended to clean the filters more frequently. If the filter is dirty or clogged, your projector may overheat. When the message below is displayed the filters must be cleaned.

Please clean filter.

Note:

When the Please clean filter message is displayed, please clean or replace all three filters at the same time to synchronize the hours used display. The Filter Message item should be enabled in the Options menu. Refer to Options on page 95.

Refer to the following guide to clean the filters.

1.

Lift the projector to expose the underside to locate the first filter. See the drawing on the right.

Note: Only clean the outside of the exhaust vents with a vacuum cleaner.

2.

The left-hand filter can be accessed as shown.

Once the filters are cleaned, please reset the filter hours via the Clear Filter Hours option in the ⑨ Reset Menu Descriptions and Functions on page 101.

Note:

Using the projector without the air filter fitted inside, dirt and dust are sucked into the projector, causing failure.

② Replacing Consumable Parts

During the course of normal usage, consumable parts become worn out resulting in reduced performance. The following guides detail how to replace the various consumable parts within the projector quickly and safely.

Before replacing any of the parts, please take note of the following:

  • Ensure that the projector is turned off and disconnected from the power supply.
  • Ensure that the projector is in a clean, stable position before replacing parts.
  • Allow at least one hour after shutdown for the projector to cool before attempting to replace any consumable parts.
  • Do not interchange Lamp 1 and Lamp 2 after the projector has been used once. Doing so will not allow the projector to display the correct lamp usage hours.
  • A minimum space is required for replacement. See pages 27 and 106 for more details.

Replacing the Filters

When the lamps are replaced, the filters should also be replaced, not cleaned.

Refer to the following guide to replace the filters.

Replacing the Lamps

When a lamp reaches the end of it's usable life, the following message is displayed. Replace the lamp.

The lamp has reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the lamp.

The projection lamps should be replaced when they burn out. They should only be replaced with a certified replacement part, contact your local dealer if unsure.

Note:

  1. Lamps are positioned differently. Take care not to force the lamps when replacing.
  2. Installation of both lamp modules (Lamp 1 and Lamp 2) is required to operate the projector in dual or single lamp mode. If only a single lamp module is installed, the projector's lamp will not turn on and will appear as a lamp failure
  3. Lamps last approximately 2000-2100 hours (2500-2600 hours in Eco mode) and the End of lamp life message is displayed during the lamps' final 100 hours of operational life. Please replace during 2000-2100 hour.

Important:

  1. The lamp contains a certain amount of mercury and should be disposed of according to local ordinance regulations.
  2. Avoid touching the glass surface of the new lamp: doing so may shorten its operation life.
  3. If the lamp's useful life ends and projector could not turn on over 2100 hours, please have the projector serviced.

Note:

The projector turns off and goes into standby mode after 2100 hours (up to 2600 hours in Eco mode) of service. In this condition you cannot clear the lamp hour meter using the menu. Should this condition exist, press the HELP button on the remote control for 10 seconds to reset the lamp clock back to zero.

Ensure the lamp is replaced before performing this operation.

Common Problems and Solutions

These guidelines provide tips to deal with problems you may encounter while using the projector. If the problem remains unsolved, contact your dealer for assistance.

Often the problem is something as simple as a loose connection. Check the following before proceeding to the problem-specific solutions.

  • Use some other electrical device to confirm that the electrical outlet is working.
  • Ensure the projector is turned on.
  • Ensure all connections are securely attached.
  • Ensure the attached device is turned on.
  • Ensure a connected PC is not in suspend mode.
  • Ensure a connected notebook computer is configured for an external display. (This is usually done by pressing an Fn-key combination on the notebook.)

Tips for Troubleshooting

In each problem-specific section, try the steps in the order suggested. This may help you to solve the problem more quickly.

Try to pinpoint the problem to avoid replacing non-defective parts.

⑦ Operation Using HTTP Browser

Overview

The use of HTTP server functions will allow control of the projector from a web browser without the installation of special software. Please be sure to use "Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x" or a higher version for the web browser. (This device uses "JavaScript" and "Cookies" and the browser should be set to accept these functions. The setting method will vary depending on the version of browser. Please refer to the help files and the other information provided in your software).

Access is gained to the HTTP server functions by specifying the following address in the entry column of the URL:

http:///index.html

http:///lanconf.html

Note:

The display or button responses can be slowed down or operation may not be accepted depending the settings of your network. Should this happen, consult your network administrator. The projector may not respond if its buttons are repeatedly pressed in rapid intervals. Should this happen, wait a moment and repeat. If you still can't get any response, turn off and back on the projector.

Preparation Before Use

Make network connections, set up the projector and confirm that it is complete before engaging in browser operations (see LAN Settings on page 91 for more information).

Operation with a browser that uses a proxy server may not be possible depending on the type of proxy server and the setting method. Although the type of proxy server will be a factor, it is possible that items that have actually been set will not be displayed depending on the effectiveness of the cache, and the contents set from the browser may not be reflected in operation. It is recommended that a proxy server not be used unless it is unavoidable.

Handling of the Address for Operation via a Browser

Regarding the actual address that is entered for the address or entered to the URL column when operation of the projector is via a browser, the host name can be used as it is when the host name corresponding to the IP address of the projector has been registered to the domain name server by a network administrator, or the host name corresponding to the IP address of the projector has been set in the "HOSTS" file of the computer being used.

Example 1:

When the host name of the projector has been set to pj.nec.co.jp,

http://pj.nec.co.jp/index.html is specified for the address or the entry column of the URL.

Example 2:

8. Specifications

When the IP address of the projector is 192.168.73.1, access is gained to the HTTP server functions by specifying http://192.168.73.1/index.html for the address or the entry column of the URL.
