Installation Site Requirements

9) Temperature and humidity conditions

•The installation site should meet the following conditions:

•Operating temperatures: 0 °C to 40 °C (largely depending on installation conditions)

•Operating humidity: 20 % to 80 %

•Storage temperature: –20 °C to 60 °C

•Storage humidity: 20 % to 90 %

•Operating atmospheric pressure: 800 hPa to 1100 hPa

•Storage atmospheric pressure: 700 hPa to 1114 hPa

•We discourage installing electronic products such as this unit in locations subject to high humidity. If the unit is to be installed in a location subject to relatively high humidity, observe the following:

•Failure to install the unit in acceptable ways may result in non-warranty damages.

•Make sure the unit is grounded.

•Do not allow water or other liquids to enter the unit.

10) Prevent condensation

A primary problem during the winter is condensation forming on or in electronic equipment. Rapid temperature fluctuations can leave water vapor inside the unit or on the screen, degrading performance. If condensation occurs, turn the unit OFF for an hour or more then increase the room temperature gradually before turning ON the unit.

Consult Pioneer authorized dealers for assistance.

11) Power requirements

•This unit functions properly when powered at ±10 % of its rated voltage. Characteristics of power lines may effect the voltage output. If any of the following issues occur, contact an electrician to inspect the power source.

--Significant voltage drop between the circuit panel and the Plasma Display

--Significant changes in voltage when switching the display power ON or OFF

•Please allow the following margin for power consumption per unit. 500 W = 500 VA

(NOTE)

When powering up the unit, the in-rush current is approximately 30 A.

•A grounded three-core power cable is used by the Plasma Display in order to maintain its functions. Connect the power cord by inserting it into a grounded electrical outlet.

When using a different power source, use a conversion plug. Insert it into a grounded electrical outlet and securely attach the ground wire.

•A leakage current within a value, stipulated by standards in each country, flows from an internal noise filter through devices installed inside switching power sources such as television sets or air-conditioners. Because these currents are added together when multiple units are connected, take steps to prevent electric shock caused by ground wires, etc. When a leakage breaker is installed in a power distribution series, choose the leakage breaker rating that is at least two times the total leakage current.

When many devices are connected, increase the number of leakage breakers and form branches in the wiring system.

12) Effective remote control distance

The remote control of this display receives at the following angles and distances.

•Front: 8 m

•Left-right 45°: 3 m/Left-right 30°: 7 m

•Upward 30°: 3.5 m/Upward 15°: 5 m

•Downward 30°: 5 m

If other products controlled with infrared remote controls are placed nearby, remote control function may be affected. In such cases, move other devices further away from the display or contact a Pioneer-authorized dealer for assistance.

Depending on installation conditions, the remote control range may be reduced by infrared radiation emitted by the screen.

The screen’s infrared intensity varies, depending upon the displayed image.
