INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Safety warning

Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions

Installation Guidelines

Ambient Temperature Conditions

Careful consideration 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 : 40 °C or 104 °F Min. ambient temperature : 0 °C or 32 °F The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (0°C- 40°C or 32°F-104°F).

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. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not excessive.

Environment condition check

Warning: Harmful Environmental Contamination Precaution

A projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures 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 machines 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 prior to it reaching the projectors clean air supply. Devices or structures to extract or shield contaminated 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 environment should be considered.

Only ever use the manufactures recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never use industrial strength cleaners on a projectors optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronic components. Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistant and prolonged air contaminants will culminate in extensive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will be noneffective and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufactures 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 responsibility 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.

What about ambient light ?

The ambient light level of any room is made up of direct or indirect sunlight and the light fixtures in the room. The amount of ambient light will determine how bright the image will appear. So, avoid direct light on the screen. Windows that face the screen should be covered by opaque drapery while the set is being viewed. It is desirable to install the projection system in a room whose walls and floor are of non-reflecting material. The use of recessed ceiling lights and a method of dimming those lights to an acceptable level is also important. Too much ambient light will wash out of the projected image. This appears as less contrast between the darkest and lightest parts of the image. With bigger screens, the wash out becomes more important. As a general rule, darken the room to the point where there is just sufficient light to read or write comfortably. Spot lighting is desirable for illuminating small areas so that interference with the screen is minimal.

Installation Guidelines

Which screen type?

There are two major categories of screens used for projection equipment. Those used for front projected images and those for rear projection applications.

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 brushed aluminized screen with a gain of 10 (x10) or more. The choice between higher and 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 possible. A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the viewing angle.

For more information about screens, contact your local screen supplier.

A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the viewing angle.

What image size? How big should the image be?

The projector is designed for projecting an image size (video) from 1.00m (3.3ft) to 6.00m (19.7ft) with a aspect ratio of 5 to 4.

Projector Configurations

Which configuration can be used ?

The projector can be installed to project images in four different configurations :

Front/table Rear/table Front/ceiling or Rear/ceiling

Rear/Ceiling

Front/Ceiling

Rear/Table

Front/Table

Positioning the Projector

Drawing are given for a nominal lens position.

Definitions of the Abbreviation on drawings

B = Distance between ceiling and top of the screen or between floor and bottom of the screen.

A = Correction value, distance between bottom side of projector (without feet) and middle of the lens. Value to be subtracted from B to obtain the correct installation position. (A value is a constant value for all screen widths and type of lenses, A = 124.1 mm or

4.89 inch)

CD = Total distance between projector and ceiling or projector and floor.

SW = Screen width. SH = Screen height (image height).

Cleaning the Lens

To minimize the possibility of damaging the optical coating or scratching exposed lens surface, we have developed recommendations for cleaning the lens. FIRST, we recommend you try to remove any material from the lens by blowing it off with clean, dry deionized air. DO NOT use any liquid to clean the lenses.

A Toraysee

cloth is included with the lens kit.

Proceed as follows :

1. Always wipe lenses with a CLEAN Toraysee

cloth.

2. Always wipe lenses in a single direction. Do not wipe back and forwards across the lens surface as this tends to grind dirt into

the coating.

3. Do not leave cleaning cloth in either an open room or lab coat 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.

5. Do not use fabric softener when washing the cleaning cloth or softener sheets when drying the cloth.

6. Do not use liquid cleaners on the cloth as doing so will contaminate the cloth.

Note

Note, only important if more than one projector is installed in the room :

1. The common address can be zero (0) or one (1). The standard RCU are setup for common address zero. To change the common address of the RCU, contact a BARCO service center. If it is necessary to program the projector address into the RCU, see chapter 'Getting Started'.

2. Projector address has to be reprogrammed everytime the battery is changed, the RCU will always switch to the default address.

Netwerk Connection (optional)

What can be done ?

When the optional network connection is installed, the projector can be connected to a LAN (local area network) (ethernet). Once installed and connected to the LAN, users are capable of accessing the projector from any location, inside or outside their company network from a standard web browser. The projector acts as web server and generates a webside with all functions of the projector listed. Via an internet explorer 4.0 or higher, or a Netscatpe communicator, the user can insert the correct IP-adress of the projector and access the webpages. Once the webside is accessed, it is possible to chech and manupulate all the projector settings. Remote diagnostics, control and monitoring of the projector can then become a daily and very simple operation. The network connectivity permits to detect potential errors and consequently improve the time to servicing. For the complete documentation about the use of the network connection, consult appendix C.
