3. Installation Guidelines
3. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Never use the projector when turned with the inputs downwards.
3.1 General
Before installing t he projector, read first the safety instructions.
Ambient Temperature Conditions.
Careful consideration of things such as image size, ambientlight level, projector placement and type of screen to use are critical to
the optimum use of the projection system.
Max. ambient temperature : 35
Min. ambient temperature : 10
The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (10
Storage temperature: -35
C or 104 F
Cor50 F
C- 35 Cor50F-10 F-95 F).

Harmful Environmen tal Contamination Precaution
Environment
Do not 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. B e aware that room heat rises
excessive.
to the ceiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not
Environment condition check
A projector must always be m ounted in a manner which ens ures the free flow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets. For
installations in environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke m achines or
similar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degrading
performance), then it is highly advisable and desirable to have this contamination removed pr ior to it reaching the projectors clean
air supply. Devices or structures to extract or shield c ontaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not a
feasible solution then measures to relocate the projector to a clean air env ironment should be considered.
Only ever use the manufactures recommend ed cleaning kit which has been specifically des igned for cleaning optical parts, never
use industrial strength cleaners on a projectors 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 per sistent and prolonged air contaminants will culminate in extensive and irreversible ingrained optical dam age. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will be
non-effective and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no c ircumstances covered under the m anufactures warranty and
may deem the warranty null and void. In such a case the client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during any
repair. It is the clients respons ibility to ensure at all times that the projector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborne
particles in the environment of the projector. The manufacture reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to
wantful neglect, abandon or improper use.
Special Care for Laser Beams
Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the sa me r oom as performant laser equipment. Direct or indirect
hitting of a laser beam on to the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices (TM) in which case there is a loss of warranty
Which screen type ?
There are two major categories of s creens us ed for projection equipment. Those used for front projected images and those for re ar
projection applications.
R5976335 BARCOELM R12 DIRECTOR 17092002

3. Installation Guidelines
Screens are rated by how much light they reflect (or transmit in the case of rear projection systems) given a determined amount
of light projected toward them. The ‘GAIN’ of a screen is the term used. Front and rear screens are both rated in terms of gain.
The gain of screens range from a white matte screen with a gain of 1 (x1) to a brus hed aluminized screen with a gain of 10 (x10)
or more. The choice between higher an d lower gain screens is largely a matter of personal preference and another consideration
called the Viewing angle. In considering the type of screen to choose, determine where the viewers will be located and go for the
highest gain screen pos sible. A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the viewing angle. For more information
about screens, contact your local screen supplier.
What image size? How big should the image be?
The projector is designed for projecting an image size : min 1.00m (3.3ft) to max (15 m 49.2ft) (depending on the ambient light
conditions), with a aspect ratio of 4 to 3.
3.2 Configuration
Which configuration can be used?
The projector can be installed to project images in four different configurations:
• Front/table
• Rear/table
• Front/ceiling
• Rear/ceiling

3.7 Re-adjusting the lamp position in the lamp casing
As the projector has to be opened, this procedure has to be performed by qualified service technician.
Why
With higher run times, the light output of the lam p w ill dec rease, which results in a lower light output on the screen. Thislight output
decrease can be compensated by readjusting the position of the lamp.
How to readjust.
1. O n the side of the inputs, turn the 3 retaining bolts a quarter counter clockwise.
2. Flip the lower side a little backwards and take off the side cover.
3. S tart up the adjustment mode and select Service.
4. S elect Lamp. T he Z-axis indication (lamp menu in service mode) will be helpful while turning screw B . (image 3-13)
5. L oosen the nut A (image 3-13)on the back of the lamp casing (nutdriver 10).

3.8.4 Lens Installation
To install a pro jection lens, the projector must be switched ON.
Installation of QLD lenses :
1. R emov e the foam rubber in the opening of the lens holder.
2. S witch on the projector.
3. P ush 3x on the HELP key.
4. P ush the ↑ key to pull up the lens bridge (zoom & focus part of t he lens housing)

6. Turn the lens into the lens h older by turning c lockwise.
7. P ush the ↓ key to bring the lens bridge back on its position.
8. P ress EXIT to return to operational mode.
Installation of LD lenses :
LD lens will be delivered with an adapter ring.
They can be mounted in the same manner as QLD lenses.
No motorized zoom function is standard available. Toadd this motorized zoom function to the lens, a zoom ring kit has to be ordered
separately.
Zoom ring kits :
For LD(2.5-4:1) and LD(4-7:1) lens : R9840310
For LD(1.5-2.5:1) lens : R9840320
Use of lenses of compatiteurs.
The lenses of competitors can be used in this ELM projector in combination with a lens m ount adapter ring kit. This kit can be
ordered separately, order number : R9840370.
Why using an adapter ring? The ELM lens holder has been designed for QLD type lenses. These lenses in turn have been des igned
for the SXGA DLP chip. This chip is bigger than the XGA chip. In order to offer sufficient lens shift c apabilities and corner focus
performance, the diameter of the QLD lenses is larger than the LD type.
3.8.5 Cleaning the lens
To minimize the possibility o f damaging the optical coating or scratching exposed lens surface, w e have d eveloped recommenda tions for cleaning the lens. FIRST, we recommend you t ry to rem ove any material from
the lens by blowing it off with clean, d ry deionized air. DO NOT use an y liquid to clean the lenses.
Necessary tools
TorayseeTMcloth (delivered together with the lens kit). Order number : R379058.
Howtocleanthelens?
Proceed as follow :
TM
1. A lways wipe lenses with a CLEAN Toraysee
2. A lways wipe lenses in a single direction.
Warning: Do not wipe back and forwards across the lens surface as this tends to grind dirt into the coating.
3. D o not leave cleaning cloth in either an open room or lab coa t pocket, as doing so can contaminate the cloth.
4. If smears occur when cleaning lenses, replace the cloth. Smears are the first indication of a dirty cloth.
Do not use fabric softener whe n washing the cleaning cloth or softener sheets when drying the cloth.
Do not use liquid cleaners on the cloth as doing so will contaminate the cloth.
Other lenses can also be cleaned safely with this TorayseeTMclo
cloth.
