Important information

Safety

To reduce the risk of electrocution, disconnect the power cord on the rear panel before removing the top cover of the projector. For technical service refer to trained personnel authorized by the manufacturer.

If the lamp suddenly explodes with a loud bang, turn off the projector immediately and air the room thoroughly. Do not attempt to restart the projector and do attempt to replace the bulb: contact your local service center.

Read this manual

Read all chapters of this manual carefully before switching on the projector. This manual provides basic instructions for operating the Lumis 3D-S projector. Installation, preliminary adjustments and procedures that necessitate the removal of the top cover and contact with electrical components must be performed by authorized, trained technicians. To ensure safe operation and long term reliability use only the power cords supplied by the manufacturer. Observe all warnings and precautions. Keep the manual for future consultation.

Do not touch internal parts of the projector

Inside the housing there are electrical parts carrying dangerously high voltages and parts operating at high temperature. Never open the housing. Entrust all servicing and repair work to a SIM2 Authorized Service Center. Opening the housing voids the warranty.

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply

The device that disconnects the projector from the mains is the power plug. Ensure that the power cord plugs and the electrical outlets are easily accessible during installation operations. Pull the plug, not the cord, to disconnect the projector from the mains. Use only the specified power supply. Connect the projector to a mains electrical supply with rated voltage of between 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz and equipped with a protective earth connection. If you are not sure of your domestic mains rating, contact an electrician. Take care to avoid overloading the power socket and any extension leads.

Switching the projector off

Pay attention to the switch off procedure for the projector. The projector must always be brought back to the standby state to allow the projector to carry out the cooling procedure. Should this not happen, for example due to a power cut, the projector may enter a state of protection that leads to switch-on being blocked. This block will last until the internal components of the projector have completely cooled down.

Changing the fuses

Before changing the fuse, disconnect the projector from the mains power supply. The fuse compartment is next to the power supply connector. Remove the fuse holder

User Guide

with a flat head screwdriver and replace the fuse. Fit the replacement fuse. Use only type T 10 A L H fuses for the projector.

Be careful with cables

Make sure cables are routed so that people are not impeded or become a trip hazard. Keep all cables away from children. Install the projector as close to the wall socket as possible. Avoid stepping on power cords, make certain they do not become tangled, and never jerk or tug them; do not expose them to sources of heat, and make sure they do not become knotted or crimped. If the power cords become damaged, stop using the projector and request the assistance of an authorized technician.

Disconnect the projector from the mains power during electrical storms and when not in use

To prevent damage from lightning strikes in the vicinity, disconnect the projector during storms or when the projector is going to be left unused for a long time.

Avoid contact with liquids and exposure to damp

Do not use the projector near water (sinks, tubs and so on); do not place objects containing liquids on or near the projector and do not expose it to rain, humidity, drops of water or sprays; do not use water or liquid detergent to clean it.

Place the projector on a stable surface

Place the projector on a stable surface or use a suitable ceiling mounting bracket. Never place the projector on its side or rear, on the lens or top panel.

Do not allow the projector to overheat

To prevent overheating, allow a free space of at least 0.25 m (10 in.) on the left, right and rear sides of the projector. Do not obstruct the ventilation slots. Do not place the projector near heat sources such as heaters, radiators or other devices (including amplifiers) that generate heat. Do not place the projector in an area where there is insufficient space (shelving units, bookshelves and so on) and in general avoid placing it in poorly ventilated areas as this may prevent sufficient cooling and significantly reduce lamp life.

Never look directly at the projection lamp

Never look directly into the lens when the lamp is on as the intense light may damage your eyes. Take particular care that children cannot do so.

Take special care regarding movement of the lens

Do not place objects in the slots on the side of the lens and also ensure that vertical lens movements are not impeded by external objects.

Do not insert objects through the openings in the projector

Make sure that no objects are inserted inside the projector. If this should occur, disconnect the projector from the power supply immediately and call an authorized technician.

Power saving

We advise disconnecting the projector from the power supply when not in use. In this way you will achieve considerable power savings while at the same time protecting internal electrical parts from wear.

Notice

Product disposal

The lamp inside this projector contains mercury and may be subject to special disposal or recycle regulations. Dispose or recycle in accordance with local laws. For more information contact the Electronic Industries Alliance at www.eiae.org or check www.lamprecycle.org

The appliance has been subjected to exhaustive operating tests by SIM2 to guarantee the highest quality. The projector bulb life should thus initially be around 30-60 hours. In addition to the customary checks, the Quality Control department also runs additional statistical tests before shipment. In such cases, the packaging may show signs of having been opened, and the hours of lamp operation may prove to be higher than those normally shown when only standard tests are performed.

As the optical system of the Lumis 3D-S is extremely compact and has the purpose of developing very high brightness and contrast, it is possible that a small quantity of light is visible outside of the projection area and will vary depending on the type of lens used and the zoom and shift setup. This characteristic of the optical system is to be deemed as normal. In order to reduce this effect SIM2 recommends that the area surrounding the projection screen is as dark as possible.

The Lumis 3D-S is a three chip DLP projector and uses three high resolution DMD (red, green, blue). These three DMD are precisely aligned through a high precision process that reduces the alignment error to within the foreseen limits of tolerance. The maximum limits of misalignment are the following:

• Screen Center: up to 0.7 pixels between each color

• Screen Borders: up to 2 pixels between each color

These limits are perfectly normal for this optical system and will not be considered as a malfunction of the product.

Note: One pixel corresponds to 10 thousandths of a millimeter on the DMD.

Operation

The Lumis 3D-S projector has two IR receivers, one on the front and one on the back of the unit. The operative range of the remote control is approximately 10 m (33 ft.). Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote control and the IR receiver you are pointing to. You can point the remote control towards the screen, as the IR beam is reflected by the screen towards front IR receiver of the projector. In this case the effective range of the remote control may be smaller than declared.

Batteries

To install batteries in the remote control:

1. Open the battery cover.

2. Insert four AAA (LR03) batteries making sure the polarities match the + marks inside the battery compartment.

3. Replace the cover.

Replace the batteries with new ones when the operating range of the remote control decreases. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations. Make sure you do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.

Warning: If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries

to avoid battery leakage.

User Guide

3D IR Emitter

The 3D infrared emitter is designed to be placed near the projector and aimed at the screen. It receives the 3D sync signal from the projector and emits infrared pulses that bounce off the screen and the walls to reach the 3D glasses infrared receiver.

Note: The emitter emits sync pulses only when the projector displays 3D content.

3D Glasses

When displaying 3D content, the projector alternately displays one image for the left eye and one image for the right eye in rapid succession. The 3D glasses turn on and off their lenses, in sync with the projector, so that each eye receives exactly the image intended for it. The sync is possible thanks to the infrared pulses received by the glasses from the 3D IR emitter.
