1.1 Lens Packaging

Way of Packaging

Lenses are supplied as an individual item.

Theyarepackedinacartonbox.

Save the original shipping carton and packing material, they will be necessary if you ever have to transport
the lens.

Never transport the projector with the lens mounted on it !

Always remove the lens before transporting the projector.

2. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Overview

• Installation guidelines

• Configuration

• Lenses

• Batteries

Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions supplied with the BarcoReality SIM6 MKII.

2.1 Installation guidelines

Ambient Temperature Conditions

Careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector placement and ty
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).

Storage temperature: -35°C to +65°C (-25.6°F to 149°F)

2. Installation Guidelines

pe of screen to use are critical to

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 the ceiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not
excessive.

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 optoelectronic
components. Failure to take suitable precauti
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 c
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

ons to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contami-

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

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

R5976493 BARCOREALITY SIM 6 MK II 08092003

2. Installation Guidelines

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 am
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 co
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 r

educe 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.

2.2 Configuration

Which configuration can be used ?

The projector can be installed to project images in four different confi

gurations :

The procedure for the mounting of a Scheimpflug lens is different.

Refer to the installation manual of the lens.

Never transport the projector with the lens mounted on it !

Always remove the lens before transporting the projector.

2. Installation Guidelines

2.3.4 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.

Necessary tools

To ra ys e eTMcloth (delivered together with the lens kit). Order number : R379058.

Howtocleanthelens?

Proceed as follow :

1. Always wipe lenses with a CLEAN Toraysee

2. Always wipe lenses in a single direction.

Warning: 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.

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

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