It is straightforward to replace these with any ultra or short throw if the are static wall mounted but you would need a new arm. The Hitachi ultra short throw comes with one as do others. If yours are mounted on manual rise and fall units ie the Smart HAWM it is slightly more tricky but easily do-able - no matter what Smart/Steljes say. Check back on my and Marc's posts. We find Hitachi and Epson are both great and Epson have just announced a 5 year warranty promo this week so I would go there. Not sure if we could help directly as webmastewr declined our offer to advertise. Good Luck.

I think you will find that is the Smart (UK) stock answer. Its the one we got too. I am convinced it can be done with a UF55 as well albeit with some creative thought. We had a bracket made and re weighted the balance. I have emailed the webmaster to ask about an advert so we can promote these solutions.

Hi S4r4h, Yes. So far I have seen Unifi 35 and 45 replaced keeping the original Smart rise and fall unit. The image is much better - wouldn't be hard really -and you have to lose the Smart connection pod with PC connection by trailing cables or to a wall plate.

Hi Just joined today.First up I am in the commercial sector and don't want to break the rules but will be asking how we can advertise. I agree with Marc Engineer the Unifi 35 were poor when new and the 45/55 also give trouble. It is possible to replace these with short throw units and also if required to keep the Smart manual wall riser - even though Steljes told a local school to scrap the Unifi 35/arm, wall riser and only the board was any use! They now have a new Epson and have retained the rise and fall. Don't go back to ceiling mounted units you dont need to. Epson or Hitachi both offer 3 year warranty with offers sometimes taking this to 5 years. As Marc commented the issue is parts, Steljes are a funny company to deal with and Unifi parts hard for any repairer to source. Could this be deliberate???
