How the projector works

The Mirage 4K25 accepts a variety of input signals for projection on front or rear projection screens, typical in commercial or other large screen applications. High-brightness light is generated by a short arc Xenon lamp, then modulated by three Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) panels responding to incoming data streams of digitized red, green and blue color information. As these digital streams flow from the source, light from the responding “on” pixels of each panel is reflected, converged and then projected to the screen through one or more projection lenses, where all pixel reflections are superimposed in sharp full-color images.

Position the projector

Keep the projector lens as perpendicular to the screen as possible, even if significantly above the screen center. When a particularly short throw distance combines with a wide screen, you may have to forfeit some aim and stay more perpendicular to the screen. In such cases, some lens offset can reduce the keystone distortion.

1. Position the projector at an appropriate throw distance (projector-to-screen distance) and vertical position. Ideally , center the projector with the screen. If space is limited, aim the projector slightly off-center. This increases side keystoning, but reduces the horizontal lens offset required.

Connect to AC power

Failure to comply with the following could result in death or serious injury.

• Certified electrician required during installation. Ground (earth) connection is necessary for safety. Never compromise safety by returning the current through the ground. Connect ground first to reduce shock hazard.

• Use an appropriate strain relief connector on the AC supply cable to prevent the cable from rubbing against the LPS knockout plate and becoming damaged.

When connecting the projector directly to AC power, follow all electrical codes for your location. In addition, follow these recommendations:

• Use 10AWG or 8AWG wiring. The distance between the wall circuit breaker and the projector must not exceed 20 meters using 10A WG cables or 30 meters using 8AWG cables.

• For North American installations, us e at least 10A WG copper wires for the connection of the main AC supply to the projector’s ground lug.

• Copper or aluminum are acceptable as conductor wiring material to the terminal block.

When connecting the projector to AC power with a pluggable type-B cable, follow all electrical codes for your location. In addition, follow these recommendations:

• There must be easy access to the current protection device or breaker in the building.

• Use minimum 10AWG wiring, with a maximum length of 4.5 m for U.S and Canada. For international installations the length should be based on the local electrical codes.

• The socket-outlet is installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.

• The plug can be used as the device disconnect and is near the unit and easily accessible. The circuit breaker on the projector baseplate (located under the front lens-side corner) can also be used as a means of disconnect.

Installation and Setup

1. On the bottom of the projector in the front lamp-side corner, loosen the two screws and slide the access panel to expose the terminal block.

2. Remove four screws securing the knockout plate to the bottom right corner of the front bezel. Remove the knockout plate. The AC supply is routed to the terminal block through an appropriate strain relief mounted on this knockout plate.

Installation and Setup

Install the touch panel controller

1. Loosen the mounting arm just enough for the end to fit over the ball joint located on the rear panel of the projector.

The touch panel controller (TPC) becomes loose from the mounting arm when the mounting arm lock is loosened.

2. Tighten the mounting arm lock until it fits tightly on the joint. The TPC safety strap comes installed on the projector ball point.

3. Connect the cable from the touch panel controller (TPC) to the connector on the rear panel of the projector.

4. Adjust the TPC angle for optimal viewing, then tighten the mounting arm lock securely so that the TPC is held in place at the required location.

Connect external exhaust ducting

Warning! Failure to comply with the following could result in death or serious injury. At minimum, a 10-inch (25.4 cm) long, strong metal duct must be installed at the projector

and installed to an outside venting duct system to prevent glass shards from exiting the duct in the event of a lamp explosion.

Notice. Failure to comply with the following may result in property damage. *600 CFM is required in projection rooms with an ambient temperature above 25°C or

located at an elevation greater than 3000 feet above sea level.

Connect the existing outside-venting duct to the 8-inch diameter exhaust port on the top of the projector. Make sure there are no obstructions or bends in the ducting or air intakes and the vane switch at the exit duct moves freely.

The pre-installed outside-venting duct should be rigid at the projector and must also include a heat extractor and blower that maintains a minimum of 450 CFM* when the projector is operating at less than or equal to 25°C (77°F) ambient and less than 3,000 feet (914.4 m), when measured at the projector exhaust opening.

To determine the projector exhaust CFM value, use an airflow meter to measure the ft/min at the rigid end of the open exhaust duct that connects to the projector. Take the measurement at the end of the duct without the projector connected.

Mirage 4K25 User Manual 28 020-101361-02 Rev. 1 (01-2015)

Installation and Setup

CFM 0.35 Measured ft/min×=

Use this formula to determine the CFM value for the projector:

Lamp Type Min. Airflow (CFM) Required
