General precautions
Do not open the cabinet. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Use only the power cable provided.
Ensure that the power outlet includes a Ground connection, as this
equipment MUST be earthed.
Take care to prevent small objects such as paper or wire from falling
into the projector. If this does happen, switch off immediately, and have
the objects removed by authorised service personnel.
Do not expose the projector to rain or moisture, and do not place any
liquids on top of the projector.
Unplug before cleaning, and use a damp, not wet, cloth.
Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
Do not touch the power plug during a thunder storm.
Handle the power cable carefully and avoid sharp bends. Do not use a
damaged power cable.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the lamp module. The whole
module should be replaced.
Take care when removing the lamp module.
NEVERtouchthelamporreector.
Take care not to touch the glass surface of the lamp module. If you
do accidentally touch the glass, it should be cleaned before use. (see
section 5. Maintenance.)
Do not use the lamp for more than 1500 hours, as this may cause
serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and cause extra cost on
replacement.
HID lamps produce high intensity light. Do not look directly at the light
coming from the lamp housing, or the lens, or allow items such as
magnifying lenses to be placed in the light path. This could result in
serious eye damage.
Do not touch the ventilation outlets, as they will become hot in use.
Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation outlets or inlets.
Do not cover the lens whilst the projector is switched on. This could
causeare
Always allow the projector to cool for 5 minutes before disconnecting
the power, moving the projector or changing the lamp.
Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinners to
clean the projector and lens.

Installation precautions
Connect the LAN cable only to a computer LAN connection. Other
similar connectors may have a dangerously high voltage source.
Theprojectormustbeinstalledonlybysuitablyqualiedpersonnel,in
accordance with local building codes.
The projector should be installed as close to the power outlet as
possible.
The power connection should be easily accessible, so that it can be
disconnected in an emergency.
Ensure that there is at least 30cm (12in) of space between the
ventilation outlets and any wall, and 10cm (4in) on all other sides.
Do not install the projector close to anything that might be affected by
its operational heat, for instance, polystyrene ceiling tiles, curtains etc.
The projector weighs approximately 24kg (53lb). Use safe handling
techniques when lifting the projector.
When stacking projectors, the stack MUST be vertical, to ensure that
the stresses are distributed to all frame couplings.
Before installation, make sure that the surface, ceiling or rigging that is
to support the projector is capable of supporting the combined weight
of the projector and lens (see specication for exact weights).
Separate backup safety chains or wires should always be used for each
projector.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector chassis. Only
the rigging frame is capable of withstanding the weight of another
projector.
Do not stack more than 3 projectors.
Do not drop or jarr the projector.
Place the projector in a dry area away from sources of dust, moisture,
steam, smoke, sunlight or heat.
Do not tilt the projector more than ±12° from side to side when in use,
as this may cause serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and
cause extra cost on replacement. The projector my be tilted forwards
and backwards as necessary.
Operationandcongurationprecautions

Diagonal screen sizes
Screen sizes are sometimes specied by their diagonal size (D) in inches. When
dealing with large screens and projection distances at different aspect ratios, it is
more convenient to measure screen width (W) and height (H).
The example calculations below show how to convert diagonal sizes in inches into

Fitting the image to the screen
It is important that your screen is of sufcient height and width to display images at
all the aspect ratios you are planning to use.
Use the conversion chart, or the sample calculations below to check that you are
able to display the full image on your screen. If you have insufcient height or width,
you will have to reduce the overall image size in order to display the full image on
your screen.

Positioning the screen and projector
For optimum viewing, the screen should be a at surface perpendicular to the oor.
The bottom of the screen should be 1.2m (4 feet) above the oor and the front row
of the audience should not have to look up more than 30° to see the top of the
screen.
The distance between the front row of the audience and the screen should be at
least twice the screen height and the distance between the back row and the screen
should be a maximum of 8 times the screen height. The screen viewing area should
be within a 60° range from the face of the screen.
Notes
The projector should be
installed as close to the
power outlet as possible.
The power connection should
be easily accessible, so that
it can be disconnected in an
emergency.
Ensure that there is at least
30cm (12in) of space between
the ventilation outlets and
any wall, and 10cm (4in) on
all other sides.
Do not install the projector
close to anything that
might be affected by its
operational heat, for instance,
polystyrene ceiling tiles,
curtains etc.
The image can be ipped for
rear projection (see section
4. Using the menus, Image
menu) and displayed without
the need for extra mirrors or
equipment.
However, you must ensure
that there is sufcient distance
behind the screen for the
projector to be correctly located.
Rear installation is generally
more complicated and advice
should be sought from your
local dealer before attempting it.

For more information about
Throw ratio factor (TRF), see
Useful lens calculations, later
in this section.
Choosing a lens
A number of lenses are available for use with the projector. Which lens you choose
will depend on the screen size, image aspect ratio, projection distance and light
output.
The lenses available and their part numbers are listed below:
0.8 : 1 xed lens 001-734
1.2 : 1 xed lens 001-735
1.5 - 1.8 : 1 zoom lens 001-736
1.8 - 2.25 : 1 zoom lens 001-737
2.25 - 3.0 : 1 zoom lens 001-738
3.0 - 4.5 : 1 zoom lens 001-739
4.5 - 7.0 : 1 zoom lens 001-740
If you are simply connecting the output of a camera or computer directly to the
projector, then the image size (in pixels) may well be xed. If, however, you are
using commercially available image processing equipment, such as the Digital
Projection VIP1000, you may be able to resize the image to t the DMD.
If the image does not ll the full width of the DMD, this effectively increases the
throw ratio of the lens. This can be corrected for by applying a Throw ratio factor.
Method one: using the lens charts
For the screen sizes listed below, use the charts on the following pages, to choose
the most suitable lens.
Full width images, including:
2.35:1 (Scope) 1024 x 435 pixels
1.85:1 1024 x 553 pixels
16:9 = 1.78:1 1024 x 576 pixels
1.66:1 (Vista) 1024 x 616 pixels
4:3 = 1.33:1 1024 x 768 pixels (native resolution)
Full height images
A Throw ratio factor (TRF) has been applied to the following chart:
5:4 = 1.25:1 960 x 768 pixels TRF = 1.07
Method two: by calculation
See the calculations, on the page immediately following the lens chart.

This chart has a TRF of 1.0, for
use with the following images:
Choosing a lens using the lens charts
Use the charts on this page and on the following pages to choose which lens best
suits your application.
Full width images, including 2.35:1, 1.85:1, 16:9, 1.66:1, 4:3
example
For a screen width of 5m at a distance of 13m, the 1.8 - 2.4: 1 zoom lens would
be best suited.
For the same screen size at a distance of 18m, the 2.4 - 3.6: 1 zoom lens would
be best suited.
if you need to be more precise, then use the calculations on the page immediately
following the lens charts.

Notes
The Throw ratio for a particular
lens is xed, and assumes that
the image lls the width of the
DMD.
For images that do not ll the
width of the DMD, the Throw
ratio is effectively increased. To
correct for this, a Throw Ratio
Factor (TRF) is used.
The lenses available and their
part numbers are listed below:
0.8 : 1 xed lens 001-734
1.2 : 1 xed lens 001-735
1.5 - 1.8 : 1 zoom lens 001-736
1.8 - 2.25 : 1 zoom lens 001-737
2.25 - 3.0 : 1 zoom lens 001-738
3.0 - 4.5 : 1 zoom lens 001-739
4.5 - 7.0 : 1 zoom lens 001-740
Lens extension is measured
when the lens is focused at
innity, and fully extended.
At other focus settings, the
extension could be up to 10mm
less
Choosing a lens by calculation
For any screen size not listed above, or if you need to be more precise, then use the
calculations below.
Identify actual width of the image in pixels.
Calculate the Throw Ratio Factor: TRF = DMD width (1024)
Image width in pixels
Identify the screen width required.
Identify the throw distance required.
Calculate the throw ratio required. Throw ratio = Throw distance
Screen width x TRF
Choose a lens with the required throw ratio.
Check from the lens charts or the specication (see section 7. Appendix), that
the lens chosen has a sufcient throw range.
example
An image, 800 x 600 pixels, screen width 6.5m, throw distance 18m from the
outer end of the lens.
Throw Ratio Factor (TRF) = 1024 = 1.28
800
Throw ratio required = 18 = 2.16
6.5 x 1.28
Choose the 1.8 - 2.4 zoom lens.
Throw distance calculations are based on the distance from the outer end
of the lens, which will vary from lens to lens. For each lens, the nominal
distance between the front of the projector and the outer end of the lens
(lens extension) will be as listed on the next page.

Useful lens calculations
The following lens calculations may be useful:
Throw ratio = Throw distance
Screen width
Throw ratio factor (TRF) = DMD width in pixels = 1024
image width in pixels image
width in pixels
Therefore:
Screen width = Throw distance
Throw ratio x TRF
Throw distance = Screen width x Throw ratio x TRF
Lens extension
The throw distance calculated above is to the outer end of the lens. For each lens,
the nominal distance between the front of the projector and the outer end of the lens
(lens extension) will be as listed below.
