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).

Humidity Conditions

Storage: 0 to 98 % RH Non-condensing

Operation: 0 to 95 % RH Non-condensing

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 t excessive.

Environment condition check

A projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free flow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets as well as free flow at the ventilation outlets. The installation must also allow easy access to the consumable parts ( dustfilters, lamps, ...) 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. Make sure that the projector never runs with dirty dustfilters as this will dramatically reduce the lifetime of the consumables. It is advised to clean the dustfilters on a regular basis and to replace them at any lamp change. Barco reserves itself the right to refuse warranty replacement of consumables if they have been used in a projector with dirty airfilters. Only 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 optoelectronics .

Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contaminants will culminate in extensive 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 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 warranty 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.

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 ter 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 t 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.

Image size

The projector is designed for projecting an image size with a screenwidth from 1.00m (3.3ft) to 10.00m (32.8ft) with an aspect ratio of 16 to 9.

4.3 Projector Configuration

Overview

• The different configurations

4.3.1 The different configurations

The different configurations

Depending on the installation the projector can be mounted in different ways, the 4 different configurations are:

1. Rear/Ceiling

2. Rear/Table

3. Front/Ceiling

4. Front/Table

R5976821 BARCO ICON 18/07/2006

4. Installation

The configuration should also be communicated to the projector. This is done in the Installationmenu through the Projector Configuration parameter. (See Setup section)

4.4 Positioning the projector

On-Axis projection

Projection where the projector is positioned so as to have the centre of the lens coinciding with the centre of the screen.

Positioning the projector

The position of the projector with reference to the screen may also be different depending on the installation. Basically the projector can be positioned in an On-Axis or Off-Axis configuration. Several parameters can be calculated determining the position in any installation.

tion lens

A 100% Off-Axis position means that the position of the centre of the lens is shifted by half the screen height.

20 R5976821 BARCO ICON 18/07/2006

4. Installation

Never use a short throw lens in an Off-Axis installation. Shifting the lens will not guarantee optimal image quality.

CAUTION: The harddisk in the Icon is formatted in a horizontal position but can operate in all axes ( 6 direc-

tions). The projector should, however, not be tilted more than +/- 5 degrees from these positions, otherwise error rates will increase.

CAUTION: Never place the projector on either side !

How to connect the iCon server ?

1. Use one of the 2 RJ45 connectors to connect the server to the installed network.

2. Use the USB ports to connect peripherals such as a mouse or a keyboard, ...

3. Use the PCMCIA slot to connect a Wireless LAN card or other optional inputs like Bluetooth, Modem cards,...

Note: recommended card type:

-The card should be a type II card.

-The card should be Windows

When using the PS2 port to connect a keyboard always use the delivered PS2 splitter cable. Connecting the keyboard directly to the projector will not work.

The Service output is only intended for service purposes (boot sequence).

Point to point configuration

XP compatible

Image 4-13

In case of a temporary configuration (demo purposes) one can use the point to point configuration, the connection being done via RJ45 connections using a crossed UTP cab

The connection of the server section of the projector should be done in the same way as for a standard PC. If necessary, contact your local IT administrator.
