On Cleaning

Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for
cleaning. To keep the cabinet looking brand-new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth
lightly dampened with mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive cleaners, since
these will damage the cabinet. To ensure the highest optical performance and resolution, the projection lenses are specially treated
with an anti-reflective coating, therefore, avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a
damp cloth, detergent solution, or thinner.

On Repacking

Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come in handy if you ever have to ship your equipment. For maxi­mum protection, repack your set as it was originally packed at the factory.

On Illumination

In order to obtain the best quality for the projected image, it is essential that the ambient light which is allowed to fall on the screen be
kept to an absolute minimum. When installing the projector and screen, care must be taken to avoid exposure to ambient light directly
on the screen. Avoid adverse illumination on the screen from direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting fixtures. The use of controlled
ambient lighting, such as incandescent spot light or a dimmer, is recommended for proper room illumination. Where possible, care
should also be taken to ensure that the floors and walls of the room in which the projector is to be installed are non-reflecting, dark
surfaces. Brighter surfaces will tend to reflect and diffuse the ambient light and hence reduce the contrast of the projected image on
the screen.

3.1 General Installation Guidelines

Ambient temperature check

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).

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

or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,

WARNING: Harmful Environmental Contamination Precaution.

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. 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 optoelectronics
components. Failure to take suitable precautions to
nants 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 t
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
willful neglect, abandon or improper use

he client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during any

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.

R5976257 BARCO REALITY 909 15/03/2003

11

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 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.
