3.2.2 Calculating heat quantity

As a courtesy to our customers, we have included the power formula for calculating air conditioning needs. For power consumption, allow 500 W = 500 VA per unit.

Since most of the power consumed is transformed into heat, power consumption may be regarded as roughly equal to generated heat.

1 Conversion to calories [W] ⋅ 0.86 = [kcal/h]

Heat generated per display: 500 W ⋅ 0.86 = 430 kcal/h

2 Conversion to British Thermal Units [W] ⋅ 3.41 = [BTU/h]

Heat generated per unit: 500 W ⋅ 3.41 = 1705 BTU/h

3.2.3 Product mounting holes

We recommend using mounting hardware available from Pioneer. If you use other mounting hardware, mount the hardware to the unit using the M8-bolt holes on the unit. Tighten the bolts with a torque between 50 kg/cm and 80 kg/ cm. Applying a torque beyond these limits may lead to internal component failure.

Locations of usable mounting holes are shown below.

* only for speaker unit

Always use a minimum of 4 mounting holes that are evenly distributed on opposite sides of both the horizontal and vertical center lines.

Use bolts that are long enough to be inserted 12 mm (1/2 in.) to 18 mm (11/16 in.) in to main unit from the attaching surface for a holes. Refer to the side view diagram in the above illustration.

Do not block or cover vents on the rear panel.

Take precautions to prevent the walls from being soiled by the Plasma Display’s exhaust outlets.

This unit incorporates glass components. Install only on flat surfaces.

Always turn every bolt by hand two to three times then check to make sure the bolt is straight. You may tighten using a tool but do not over-tighten the bolts.

Do not use loctight or similar bonding products.

Please use M8 (P=1.25) bolts. DO NOT use any other type of bolt.

The panel is attached using M8 x 4.
