Digital Projection MERCURY 5000gv Important Infor mation

7. If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:

a. Do not attempt to install the projector yourself. b. The projector must be installed by qualified technicians

in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury.

c. In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support

the projector and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes.

d. Please consult your dealer for more information.

To Dealer or Installer:

To prevent the projector from falling, install it in a place and fasten it in a way with sufficient strength to support the combined weight of the projector (25 kg / 55.1 lbs), the lens and any mounting hardware, for an extended period of time as well as to withstand earthquakes.

Power Supply

1. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.

2. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.

3. If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet.

4. Do not touch the power plug with wet hand. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.

5. Do not touch the power plug during a thunder storm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.

Cleaning

1. Unplug the projector before cleaning.

2. Clean the cabinet periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily

soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinner.

3. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful

not to scratch or mar the lens.

CAUTION

Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under any one of the following circumstances. Doing so can cause damage to the projector:

• While the message "Please wait a moment." appears. This

message will be displayed after the projector is turned off.

• Immediately after the power cable is plugged into the wall

outlet (the POWER indicator has not changed to a steady orange glow).

• Immediately after the cooling fan stops working (The cooling

fan continues to work for 90 seconds after the projector is turned off).

CAUTION

• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlets as they can

become heated while the projector is turned on.

• Do not put the projector on its side when the lamp is turned

on. Doing so may cause damage to the projector.

• Before shipping this projector, remove the lens and attach

the lens hood cap. The Lens Shift mechanism may encounter damage caused

by improper handling during transportation.

• Do not eject a PC card or LAN card while its data is being

accessed. Doing so can damage your PC card or LAN card.

Lamp Replacement

• To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 9-2.

• Be sure to replace the lamp when the message "The Lamp has reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the lamp." appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this happens, contact your Digital Projection dealer for lamp replacement.

• Allow a minimum of 90 seconds to elapse after turning off the projector. Then turn off the main power and disconnect the power cable and allow 15 minutes to cool the projector before replacing the lamp.

• The projector must be operated with two lamps installed regardless of whether or not the lamp is active. Failure to do so may degrade the performance of the projector such as screen flicker or loss of lamp life. If one lamp has reached the end of its usable life, replace it with a new one as soon as possible.

Fire and Shock Precautions

1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 3 inches (10 cm) of space between your projector and a wall, except to the rear and the ventilation outlet on the right side, where there should be at least 12 inches (30cm) of space.

2. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a qualified Digital Projection service personnel.

3. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.

4. When using a LAN cable: For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral

device wiring that might have excessive Voltage.

CAUTION

• Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.

• Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The light being projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes.

• Do not cover the lens with the supplied lens hood cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the cap and possibly burning your hands due to the heat emitted from the light output.

For screen sizes between 60" and 400" not indicated on the tables, use the formula below:

Throw Distance (distance from front of casing to screen) = [Screen Width (W) x Throw Ratio (magnification)] +/- [ extension]

(where [extension] = distance between front of casing and end of lens) Example: Throw Distance for 2.5m wide screen using zoom lens 001-736 set to 1.6 : 1

Throw Distance = 2.5m x 1.6 = 4m +/- extension

= 98” x 1.6 = 157” +/- extension

Lens Shift Adjustable Range

MERCURY 5000gv

The diagram shows the location of the image position in the lens. The lens can be shifted within the shaded area as shown using the normal projection position as a starting point.

Maximum Possible Range (fixed lens 001-734 shown in brackets)(fixed lens 001-735 to be confirmed): Up: 0.5 H (<0.16 H) where H: height of projected image Down: 0.15 H (<0.16 H) Right: 0.25 W (<0.1 W) where W: width of projected image Left: 0.25 W (<0.1 W)

NOTE: If lens is shifted in two directions combined, maximum range in both directions cannot be obtained due to circular shape of lens. (example: shift up and right - see dotted box in diagram below.)

NOTE: example below shows only zoom lenses

Ceiling Mounting

WARNING

* Installing the projector on the ceiling must be done by a qualified

technician.

• Tilting the projector from side to side by more than 12° from level will reduce lamp life (see page iv).

• Only use your projector on a solid, level surface. If the projector falls, you could be injured and the projector severely damaged.

• Do not use the projector where temperatures vary greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures between 32°F (0°C) and 95°F (35°C).

• Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will reduce the quality of the image.

• Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents on the projector.

Optional Lens Installation

MERCURY 5000gv 2. Installation

This section describes how to install the lens.

Before installation

* Determine the optional lens to be used to obtain a desired projection distance. There are six optional lenses available:

0.8 : 1 fixed part no. 001-734

1.2 : 1 fixed part no. 001-735

1.5 - 1.8 : 1 zoom part no. 001-736

1.8 - 2.25 : 1 zoom part no. 001-737

2.25 - 3.0 : 1 zoom part no. 001-738

3.0 - 4.5 : 1 zoom part no. 001-739

4.5 - 7.0 zoom part no. 001-740

* Press the power button (ON/STAND BY) on the projector or POWER OFF button on the remote control for a minimum of two seconds to turn

off the power, wait 90 seconds for the cooling fan to stop, then disconnect the power cable. Check that the projector has cooled off sufficiently before proceeding.

CAUTION

* The projector and lens contain high-precision parts. Do not induce shock to the projector or the lens. * Do not touch the lens surface. Doing so can degrade the optical performance.

Preparation: Tools needed for installation:

A cross head screwdriver.

NOTE: It is possble that the ‘Lens Shift’ feature (described on the previous page and in Section 3. Projecting an Image) may have used to move the lens mount to the far right side, making installation difficult. If this is the case, then turn the projector back on again and use the Position buttons to shift the lens back towards the mid-position. When this has been done, turn the projector off as decribed above, before continuing.

1. Remove the rear lens cover, but leave the front cover on to protect the lens surface during installation.

2. Insert the lens into the lens mount with the connector to the right, taking care to line up the locating pin on the lens with the locating hole above the opening. Push the lens in firmly to engage the connector.

3. Secure the lens using the three cross-head screws.

NOTE. Remove the lens cover before use
