S1600, Gaining Access to 1.5 Lamp Bank

Topic

How to gain access to 1.5 lamp bank in an S1600 Series display?

 

Environment

  • S1600
  • 1.5" lamp bank

Steps

  1. Will need a special flat access tool, 0M-95442 (can be done with a skinny shaft, flat screwdriver, but not that easily); and a needle-nose pliers can help.
  2. Remove an entire 8x16 module, which is held in place by two latches; and then remove the lamp bank from the module/lens assembly.
  3. Remove the lens from row 4, column 1 and 16 of the 8x16 module/lens assembly (don't need a tool to remove the lens, but the pliers can help).
  4. Fully insert the access tool into the exposed latch access hole; this should release the latch; pull the module slightly forward to prevent re-latching.  Repeat for both latches.
  5. Pull the module assembly forward enough to reach behind it, unplug it and remove.
  6. Release the clips from the 4 corners of the lamp bank to remove it from the module assembly.
  7. Reverse the steps to install the replacement lamp bank; make sure the lamp bank is fully seated and all 4 clips are securely latched.
  8. Do not need the access tool to re-install the module, simply apply pressure until you hear the latches snap into place.  For additional pressure to seat the module, use a short 2x4 placed across the louvers and strike with your hand.
