Panasonic's Auto Cleaning Robot automatically cleans the air filter to help keep the projector running smoothly. When the projector is switched on,*¹ the robot uses a brush to clear away any dust adhering to the filter, helping to prevent clogs that can impair operation or cause malfunctions. The projector can be used for around 2,000 hours before the filter needs to be cleaned, making it a good choice for installation in tight spaces or for ceiling-mounted applications. Also, the Micro-Cut Air Filter traps particles as small as 10 microns.*² This greatly reduces the amount of dust entering the projector, helping maintain high brightness and stable operation.

*1 Cleaning time can be set by a timer from 00:00 to 23:50 in 10-minute intervals, or controlled manually. The cleaning process is done only once per 24 hours. When the set time is reached, the cleaning process will begin if the projector is on or in cooling mode.
*2 Such as lint particles and pollen.

■Smoke Cut Filter
The optional ET-SFD100 Smoke Cut Filter can be mounted in place of the Auto Cleaning Robot's tray. This optional smoke filter must be used when using the projector at events where smoke or fog is dispersed.

This advanced system uses a pump to circulate a cooling liquid behind the DLP™ chips to absorb heat. This Panasonic's technology is made possible by the reflective nature of the DLP™ system which enables an airtight chip structure that minimizes image-quality loss due to dust adherence. In addition, it allows operation within a wide ambient temperature range of 32°F(0°C) to 113°F(45°C) *³ and reduces operating noise to 43 dB.*⁴

*3 The operating temperature range is 32°F (0°C) to 104°F (40°C) when used in High-Altitude mode (4,593 feet [1,400 m] to 8,858 feet [2,700 m]). Also, if the ambient temperature exceeds 104°F (40°C) (95°F [35°C] in High-Altitude mode) when using all four lamps, the light output may be reduced approximately 30% to protect the projector
*4 Average value at time products are shipped from the factory, in accordance with JIS X 6911:2003 data projector specifications. Measurement methods and conditions are based on Article 2 of JIS X 6911:2003 data projector specifications.

The PT-DZ12000/D12000/DW100 can be easily operated remotely over a LAN
network, because it is all done using the computer's familiar web browser.
Furthermore, the projector sends an e-mail message to notify the operator
when an error has occurred, or a lamp needs to be replaced.

The LAN terminals support PJLink™ class 1 connection. Control with the same specifications is also possible when used in a multi-projector system with projectors of another brand.

Panasonic’s original "Multi Projector Monitoring & Control freeware allows the user to control and monitor multiple projectors at the same time via LAN. When a problem occurs, an larm message is sent to the monitoring/controlling PC.

The PT-DZ12000/D12000/DW100 projector body is equipped with a temperature alarm LED and a burnt-lamp alarm LED (for lamps 1 to 4), visible from both the front and the top. Information on the error is also given in the on-screen display. A self-diagnosis function is also provided. Error codes displayed on the 3-digit, 7-segment LED on the side of the projector tell the operator what the problem is.

PT-DZ12000/D12000/DW100 projector is carefully manufactured at the Panasonic factory in Japan under strict quality control. This is another very important advantage of Panasonic projectors.
