3. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Overview
• General
• Projector Position
• Configuration
• Safety Area arround the projector
• Re-adjusting the lamp position in the lamp casing
• Lenses
• Battery Installation in the RCU
The engines are non sealed versions.
3.1 General
Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions.
3. Installation Guidelines
Ambient Temperature Conditions.
Careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, project
the optimum use of the projection system.
Max. ambient temperature : 40°C or 104 °F
Min. ambient temperature : 10 °C or 50 °F
The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (10°C- 40°C or 50°F-104°F).
Storage temperature: -35°C to +65°C (-31°F to 149°F)
or placement and type of screen to use are critical to
Humidity Conditions
Storage: 0 to 98 % RH Non-condensing
Operation: 0 to 95 % RH Non-condensing
Harmful Environmental Contamination Precaution
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 cei
excessive.
ling; check that temperature near the installation site is not
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 manufacturer’s recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never
use industrial strength cleaners on the projector’s optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics
components. Failure to take suitable precauti
inants 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 manufacturer’s warranty
and may deem the warranty null and void. In su

particles in the environment of the projector. The manufacturer reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to
wantful neglect, abandon or improper use.
Special Care for Laser Beams
Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as performant laser equipment. Direct or indirect hitting
of a laser beam on to the lens can severely damage the Digital MicroMirror Devices™ in which case there is a loss of warranty
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 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.
What image size? How big should the image be?
The projector is designed for projecting an image size : min 1.00m (3.3ft) to max 15 m (49.2ft
conditions), with an aspect ratio of 4 to 3.

3.5 Re-adjusting the lamp position in the lamp casing
As the projector has to be opened, this procedure has to be performed by qualified service technician.
Why
With higher run times, the light output of the lamp will decrease, which results in a lower light output on the screen. This light output
decrease can be compensated by readjusting the position of the lamp.

When changing from an analog signal on the 5 cable module to the PanelLink input the indication led on the front panel of the module
will switch from the 5 cable input to the DVI (PanelLink) input also.
For the output on fixed slot 1:
• DVI input : DVI in signal is looped through to the DVI out connector as it is.
• Active image : active image signal, what ever the input is, is available in DVI on the DVI output signal (processing is incorporated
in the signal). Set the minimum delay in Inst allation > Advanced processing to OFF.
• DVI resync : DVI in signal is resyncronized with a stable clock and put on the DVI out connector
ync on Y.
When using an RCVDS 05 with a 5 cable output module, connect these 5 cables to this fixed 5
-input slot (slot
1) of the projector. All sources of the RCVDS can now be accepted by the projector.
4.5.5 Serial Digital Input (slot 3 & 4)
What can be connected to this input?
This input is full compatibility with digital Betacam, or other digital video sources. This avoids the need for analog video processing
anywhere in the video production chain and guarantees the ultimate image quality.
An active loop-through of the SDI input signal is provided for monitoring or for double and or triple stacking applications.
How to connect ?
1. Connect the output of your SDI source to the input BNC of the SDI input. (image 4-5)
Note: The input is always 75 Ω terminated.
2. If loop through is needed, use the OUT to connect to the next device.
