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 50cm / 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 50cm / 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 Vapour Health Issues
This projector uses a very powerful UHP™ lamp for illumination 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 vapour 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 vapour can cause conditions such as
lung and airway irritation, tightness in the chest, a burning sensation in the lungs, coughing,
nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. 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.
This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to
cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Recycle properly; do not dispose of in
ordinary waste!

4 Installation
4.1 System considerations
Please refer to Chapter 5 Overview for an explanation on the various features of the
projector.
Installation should only be performed by trained and skilled personnel in order to achieve the
desired results.
Safety first: Projectors and other equipment that are not mounted properly represent
a potential danger to people and may result in injury or death!
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 often consists of multiple projectors, long cables and several IG’s, as well as
intermediate system components like signal converters and line buffers.
Make sure that:
• IG properties like pixel resolution and frame refresh match those of the projector
• Choice of signal interface and cable lengths match.
o HDBaseT and 3G-SDI are so called long-haul interfaces, suitable for bespoke
o DP, HDMI, DVI and VGA are all short-haul interfaces using pre-assembled cables
• Signal amplifiers, switches and other components should convey EDID and other control
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.

4.6 Selecting a lens
The projector is delivered without a lens, enabling you to select a lens according to your
desired image size and projection distance. The projector uses a bayonet mount system to
precisely fix the lens in place. The lenses are manual, meaning zoom, focus and iris adjustments are done by hand manually. Lens shift is motorized (horizontally and vertically).
Use only the original projection lenses or lenses that have been approved for use with
the projector.
Protection lid
Figure 4-4. The protection lid
A protection lid is mounted on the projector lens opening to protect the interior of the
projector from dust and damage. The protection lid must always be in place whenever
there is no lens mounted on the projector!
