1. Introduction

This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and effective installation, operation, and maintenance of your Technical Precision replacement light bulb for the Wild PRADOVIT R-RA 150 projector. This product is designed as a compatible replacement part and is not manufactured by Wild.

Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install or use the bulb to ensure proper function and safety.

2. Safety Information

Always adhere to the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the product and equipment:

• Power Disconnection: Always ensure the projector or device is completely powered off and unplugged from the electrical outlet before attempting any installation or maintenance.
• Cool Down Period: Allow the old bulb to cool down completely before handling. Bulbs can reach very high temperatures during operation.
• Handle with Care: Light bulbs, especially halogen types, are fragile. Avoid dropping or subjecting them to impact.
• Avoid Skin Contact: Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb with bare hands. Oils from your skin can create hot spots, leading to premature bulb failure. Use a clean cloth or gloves when handling.
• Proper Disposal: Dispose of old bulbs according to local regulations.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the bulb and projector to prevent overheating.
• Voltage Compatibility: Verify that the replacement bulb's voltage (22V) matches the requirements of your Wild PRADOVIT R-RA 150 projector.

3. Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to safely install your new replacement light bulb:

1. Prepare the Device: Ensure the Wild PRADOVIT R-RA 150 projector is turned off and unplugged from the power source. Allow sufficient time for the old bulb to cool down if it was recently in use.
2. Access Bulb Compartment: Refer to your projector's original manual for instructions on how to safely open the bulb compartment. This usually involves unscrewing a cover or opening a latch.
3. Remove Old Bulb: Carefully grasp the base of the old bulb and gently pull it straight out from its socket. Avoid twisting or forcing it. If the bulb is broken, use appropriate tools and protective gear to remove any fragments.
4. Handle New Bulb: Remove the new Technical Precision replacement bulb from its packaging. Important: Hold the bulb by its ceramic or metal base. Do not touch the glass envelope with your bare fingers. If you accidentally touch the glass, clean it with an alcohol wipe and a lint-free cloth before installation.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance can help extend the life of your replacement bulb and ensure optimal performance:

• Flickering or Dim Light:
  • Check for loose connections in the bulb socket.
  • Ensure the projector's power supply is stable and within specifications.
  • Dust or debris on the bulb's glass can cause dimming; clean as per maintenance instructions.
• Short Bulb Lifespan:
  • Ensure the projector's cooling system is functioning correctly to prevent overheating.
