Installing the Projector

Considerations for projector installation

Please read the following carefully before in- stalling this unit.

Installation Environment

This unit is a precision device. Do not install it in the following places. Doing so may cause fire or malfunction of the unit.

•Where there is water, humidity or dust

•Where the unit may be subjected to oily or ciga- rette smoke

•On a soft surface such as carpet or cushion

•Where the unit may be subjected to high tem- perature due to direct sunlight

•When temperature is high or low.

Allowable operation temperature range: +5 to +35 degrees Celsius.

Allowable relative humidity range: 20 % to 80 % (no condensation)

Allowable storage temperature range: -10 to +60 degrees Celsius

•Any room in which there is cigarette smoke or grease.

Even where smoke and grease levels are mini- mal, prolonged exposure will affect this unit. This unit produces significant amounts of heat, and the optical components are cooled by taking in a large amount of air. The optical path may be soiled by grease/dirt, thus causing images to become dark or colour projection to deteriorate. Where soiling of the optical compo- nents occurs, total removal of grease/dirt may not be possible.

Operating Precautions

This unit uses a light source that reaches high temperatures during projection.

Do not allow projection under the follow- ing conditions, as doing so may cause fire or failure of the unit:

•Projection with the unit laid on its sides

•Projection with the unit installed in an unrea- sonable angle

Avoid using this unit at an angle of more than

5 degrees horizontally and 25 degrees vertically. Doing so may cause unevenness in the colour and/or shorten the lamp life.

•Projection in a location that blocks the air inlets or exhaust vents

•Projection in a place exposed to air blasts from an air conditioner

•Projection without removing the lens cap

Mounting the projector

The projector can be operated in a free-stand- ing position using the feet supplied. To mount the projector, remove the 4 feet and make use of the 4 screw holes (M8 nuts) on the under- side of the projector. Allow sufficient space around the air inlets to avoid blocking them.

Precautions for Ceiling-mount

•To ceiling-mount this unit, special expertise and techniques are necessary. Be sure to ask your dealer (or a specialist) to perform mounting (to ceilings, etc.).

•Do not mount in places that may be subjected to vibration and shock.

•The depth of the threaded holes is 30 mm. Use screws shorter than 30 mm but longer than 19 mm. Longer screws may damage internal parts of the projector and cause malfunction.

•Safety of the installation location should be considered in case this unit, or a part of it, falls. Note that if the light-source lamp is broken, glass shards from the filter mesh may spread outside the projector.

Minimum Space Required

Do not use a cover which may enclose this unit or block the air inlets/exhaust vents. Allow suf- ficient space around this unit. When this unit is enclosed in a space of dimensions as indicated on the left, use an air-conditioner so that inter- nal and external temperatures are the same.
