3. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
The engines are non sealed versions.
3.1 General
WARNING:Before installing the projector,read first the safety in structions.
Ambient TemperatureConditions.
Carefulconsideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector placement and type of screen to use are critical to
the optimum use of the projection system.
Max. ambient temperature : 35°C or 95 °F
Min. ambient temperature : 10°C or 50°F
Theprojector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (10°C- 35°C or 50°F-95°F).
Storage temperature: -35°C to +65°C (-31°F to 149°F)
Humidity Conditions
Storage: 0 to 98 % RH Non-condensing
Operation: 0 to 95 % RH Non-condensing
CAUTION:Harmful Environmental Contamination Precaution
Environment
Donot install the projection system in a site near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or humidity. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not
excessive.
Environment condition check
Aproject ormust always be mo unted in a manner which ensures the free flow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets. For
installationsin environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke machines or
similar(these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degrading
performance),then itis highly advisable and desirable to have this contamination removed prior to it reaching the projectors clean
airsupply. D evices or structures to extract or shield contaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not a
feasiblesolution then measures to relocate the projector to a clean air environment should be considered.
Onlyever use the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never
useindustrial strength cleaners on the projector’s optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics
components. Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contam-
inants will culminate inextensive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will
be non-effective and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufacturer’s warranty
andmay deem the warranty null and void. Insuch a case the client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during any
repair. It is the clients responsibility to ensure at all times that the projector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborne
particlesin the environment of the projector. Themanufacturer reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to
wantful neglect, abandon or improper use.
Special Care for Laser Beams
Specialcare should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as performant laser equipment. Director indirect hitting
ofa laser beam on to the lens can seve rely damage the Digital MicroMirror Devices™ in which case there is a loss of warranty
Which screen type ?
Thereare two major categories of screens used for projection equi pment. Those used for front projected images and those for rear
projection applications.
