Installation

This section explains how to install, connect and optimize the projector. Illustrations are graphical representations only and are provided to enhance the understanding of the written material. When designing a projection room for either a permanent or temporary installation, consider positioning the projector and screen for maximum audience coverage and space efficiency. For example, placing the screen along the larger wall in a rectangular room reduces audience coverage.

Other considerations:

• Operating single or multiple units.

• Room size.

• Lighting and audience seating.

• Distance between the audience and the display.

• Angle from which the display is viewed.

Unpack the projector

Failure to comply could result in minor or moderate injury.

• The projector should be lifted by two people.

• Use the designated handles to help lift and support the projector.

• Use a stable cart to transport the projector.

Do not stack units. Failure to comply could result in minor or moderate injury.

Failure to comply with the following may result in equipment damage :

• Air flows in through the front of the projector and out the rear of the projector. Insufficient airflow can cause the projector to overhe at during o perati on and / or pl ace stress on the source connections. When mounting the projector allow for up to 1100 CFM of airflow through the projector. Ambient temperature must stay below 40° C (95° F).

• Inlet air temperature must be below 40° C (95° F).

• Keep the projector away from all devices radiating electromagnetic energy. For example, motors and transformers, speakers, power amplifiers, and elevators.

The mounting support system and the mounting surface must be evaluated and accepted by local authorities and must adhere to local standards and safety regulations.

Mounting points are available on all four sides of the projector, including the front face. Each side has six mounting points, two of which are on the front plate. The front plate has an additional seven front facing mounting points. Christie recommends that a minimum of four mounting points are used in any installation, with at least one of the mounting points being on the front plate. A 10mm thread engagement and a minimum torque of 30 in.-lbs (3.5 Nm) /maximum torque of 35 in.-lbs (4 Nm) is recommended. For some installations it may be necessary to remove the front handles once the projector is in its final location. To remove the handles use a 5 mm hex driver to loosen the two socket head cap screws.

Installation

Mount a ruggedized kit (Optional) If you are mounting a ruggedized kit use the seven designated

mounting points on the front of the projector. The handles will need to be removed to access four of these points. Christie does not provide the ruggedized kit or the hardware to secure a ruggedized kit. Christie recommends using M6 hardware with a 10 mm thread engagement, and a maximum torque of 4 Nm.

Throw ratio = throw distance ± 2% screen width

Adjust lens focus

Calculate Throw Distance and Position

Throw distance is the distance measured from your projector to the screen. This calculation determines if there is enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if the image size will be the accurate size for your screen. To estimate the throw distance take the horizontal width of the screen and multiply it by the lens throw ratio. The result determines approximately the distance the projector should be positioned from the screen to project a focused image large enough to fill the screen. For example, using a 1.28 - 1.71 zoom lens set at its widest (1.2:1) throw ratio, throw distance would roughly be 1.2 x screen width.

Use the lens and screen size to calculate the precise throw distance. Due to lens manufacturing tolerances for lens focal length, actual throw distance can vary ±2% between lenses with the same nominal throw ratio.

Determine Vertical and Horizontal Position

The projection lens and the screen type determine the vertical and horizontal position of your projector in relation to the screen. Ideally, you should position the projector perpendicular to the screen to make the image appear rectangular instead of keystoned (trapezoidal). You can offset vertical position of the image (move it above or below the optical axis) by adjusting the lens mount. The type of projection lens you install determines the amount of available vertical offset. Vertical offset can be expressed as the percent of half the image height or the number of pixels of shift from lens center.

• Offsets are subject to ±7% centering tolerance.

• % offset is defined as:

The horizontal position of the image can also be offset (moved to the left or right of the optical center) by adjusting the lens mount. The amount of horizontal offset available depends on the lens

Serial Port Connections

Use the RS422 port only if the device being used has this capability. Always consult with equipment literature before connecting.

RS232 and RS422 serial ports are both available on the projector. You can connect a device with a serial interface, such as a computer to either of these connectors (not both) and control the projector remotely by entering specific serial communication commands.

Two nine-pin D-sub connectors, labeled RS232 IN and RS232 OUT on the input panel, are dedicated to serial communication. Using the appropriate serial communication cables, connect the controlling source, such as a personal computer to the RS232 IN connector. Set the projector baud rate to match that of the computer.

To control the projector with a computer or other controlling device with RS422 capability, connect a RS422 serial communication cable between the controlling device and the RS422 port on the projector. RS422 is better suited than RS232, for serial communication over distances greater than 50 feet (15 m).

Network Setup for External Communications

Always power down and disconnect/disengage power before servicing or cleaning Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

Do not operate if the AC supply and cord are not within the specified voltage and power range. The North American rated line cord is supplied with this projector. For all other regions, use only a regionally approved line cord, power plug and socket. Do not use a damaged line cord. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

In Norway, for IT power distribution systems, a dedicated protected earth wire must be installed on the projector before it can be connected to power. The dedicated earth wire must be installed by a Christie accredited service technician. To connect the projector to an IT power distribution system connect the building ground to the internal ground lug behind the AC input inside the projector. Christie recommends that you run the connection through the louvers on the projector. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage.

The appropriate regional line cords are shipped separately.

To complete the projector network setup you will also need to connect the projectors together for ArrayLOC communication and functions.
