2 Safety and compliance
2.1 General safety considerations
• Use only the cables and cords supplied with the projector or original replacement cables. Using other cables
or cords may lead to malfunction and permanent damage to the unit.
• Always use 3-prong (grounded) power cord to ensure proper grounding of the unit. Never use 2-prong power
cords, as this is dangerous and could lead to electrical shock.
• Never open the unit. The projector contains no user serviceable parts. Refer all repairs to qualified personnel
only. Make sure that no objects enter into the vents and openings of the set.
• Do not spill any liquids on the projector or into the vents or openings of the unit.
• Always remove lens cap before switching on the projector. If the lens cap is not removed, it may melt due to
the high energy light emitted through the lens. Melting the lens cap may permanently damage the surface
of the projection lens.
• Do not look into the projection lens when the projector is switched on. The strong light may permanently
damage sight.
• Only place the projector on a stable surface, or mount it securely using an approved ceiling-mount.
• Do not drop the projector.
• Always operate the projector according to the rotation guidelines. Operating the unit in other positions may
reduce lamp life significantly, and may lead to overheating, resulting in malfunctioning.
• Always allow ample airflow through the projector. Never block any of the air vents. Never cover the unit in
any way while running. Allow for sufficient distance to walls and ceilings to avoid overheating.
• Minimum safety distance to any side of the unit is 50 cm / 20” in any direction (15 cm/ 6” to ceiling).
• Hot air is exhausted from the rear vent. Do not place objects that are sensitive to heat nearer than 50 cm /
20” to the exhaust vent.
• The projector is designed for indoor use only. Never operate the unit outdoors.
• Do not operate the projector outside its temperature and humidity specifications, as this may result in overheating and malfunctioning.
• Only connect the projector to signal sources and voltages as described in the technical specification. Connecting to unspecified signal sources or voltages may lead to malfunction and permanent damage of the unit.
• In order to prevent damage to the projector caused by over-voltages (e.g. lightning), we recommend connection to a line (mains) circuit which has over voltage protection.
• Allow lamp to cool down for at least 60 minutes before changing.
USE ONLY ORIGINAL LAMPS.
• Connecting sources to a powered projector may result in product failure. It is recommended that the power
cable connector (projector-end) or the mains power socket is accessible whilst the product is in use to
enable mains power to be disconnected or switched off when connecting source devices. This should be
considered during product installation.

2.2 Information/Warning - Potential Mercury Vapor Health Issues
2.4 Disposal information
This projector uses a very powerful UHP™ lamp to produce an extremely bright image.
This technology is similar to other high-pressure discharge lamps that are extensively used in cars, street lights
and other lighting appliances today. These lamps, like fluorescent lighting, contain small amounts of mercury. The
amount of mercury present in a lamp is far below the limits of danger set by the authorities. It is however very
important that lamps containing mercury are treated properly to minimize potential health hazards.
The UHP™ lamp, like any other high brightness projector lamp, is operating under high-pressure. Even if the lamp
and the projector are carefully designed to minimize the probability of lamp rupture, the lamp may break while
operating and small amounts of mercury vapor may be emitted from the projector. The probability of rupture
increases when the lamp reaches its expected lifetime. It is therefore highly recommended that the lamp is
replaced when the specified lifetime is reached.
As a general precaution, secure good ventilation in the room when operating the projector. If lamp rupture occurs,
evacuate the room and secure good ventilation. Children and pregnant women in particular should leave the
room.
When replacing a worn lamp, dispose of the used lamp carefully by proper recycling.
Mercury is a naturally occurring, stable metallic element that may pose a safety risk to people under certain
conditions. According to the Public Health Statement for Mercury published by the Agency for Toxic Substances
and Disease Registry (“ATSDR”, part of the United States Public Health Service), the brain, central nervous system
and kidneys are sensitive to the effects of mercury, and permanent damage can occur at sufficiently high levels of
exposure. Acute exposure to high concentrations of mercury vapor can cause conditions such as lung and airway
irritation, tightness in the chest, a burning sensation in the lungs, coughing, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Children and fetuses are particularly sensitive to the harmful effects of metallic mercury to the nervous system.
Seek medical attention if any of the above symptoms are experienced or if other unusual conditions are experienced following lamp rupture.

2.6 Light beam Hazard Distance (HD)
Light beam Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance from the source at which the intensity or the energy per
surface unit becomes lower than the applicable safety limit. The light beam can be considered dangerous
if the operator is within the HD.
2.6.1 Restriction zone based on the HD
Calculation of the HD depends on the amount of lumens produced by the projector and the type of lens installed.
See next section, HD in function of the lens Throw Ratio (TR).
To protect untrained users, the following installation requirements must be complied with: light output levels in
excess of the limits shall not be permitted at any point less than 2.0 meters (SH) above any surface upon which
persons are assumed to stand or 1 meter (SW ) below or in lateral separation from any place where such persons
are assumed to be.
Based on national requirements, no person is allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone between the
projection lens and the related hazard distance (HD). This shall be made physically impossible by creating sufficient separation height or by placing barriers. The minimum separation height takes into account the surface upon
which persons are assumed to stand. A typical setup is shown in the image below. A professional installed must
verify that the minimum requirements are met.

4 Installation
4.1 System considerations
Chapter 5, Overview, provides more information on the various features of the projector.
Safety first: Projectors and other equipment that are not mounted properly represent
a potential danger to people and may result in injury or death!
Installation should only be performed by trained and experienced personnel in order to achieve the desired
results.
Creating a successful system installation requires proper skills, competencies and knowledge of the particular
system requirements. In addition to knowing the expected performance, ambient conditions and all the
components that form the complete system, including Image Generation (IG), cabling, control system, screens
and projectors.
An installation may consist of multiple projectors, long cables and several IG, as well as intermediate system
components like signal converters and line buffers. Consideration should be taken to ensure that:
• IG properties like pixel resolution and frame refresh match those of the projector
• Choice of signal interface and cable lengths match.
• Signal amplifiers, switches and other components should convey EDID and other control
o HDBaseT and 3G-SDI are so called long-haul interfaces, suitable for bespoke installation
on the premises using relatively long cables.
o DP, HDMI, DVI and VGA are all short-haul interfaces using pre-assembled cables with
limited cable lengths. Using extended cable lengths may result in reduced image quality
as well as loss of control information such as EDID (Extended Display Information Data).
information. However, unfortunately many times EDID data is lost in translation under way,
potentially resulting in images of reduced pixel resolution and wrong aspect ratio.
A successful installation takes all relevant parameters into account to achieve great imagery!
