2.1 Installation requirements
Environment conditions
Table below summarizes the physical environment in which the G100 projector may be safely operated or
stored.
Environment
Operating Non-Operating
Ambient Temperature 0 °C (41 °F) to 50 °C (122 °F) -10°C (14°F) to 60°C (140°F)
Humidity 10% to 85% RH Non-Condensed 5% to 90% RH Non-Condensed
Altitude 10000 ft maximum at 0°C to 30°C
Let the projector acclimatize after unpacking. Neglecting this may result in a startup failure of the
Light Processor.
Cooling requirements
The projector is fan cooled and must be installed with sufficient space around the projector head, minimum
100 cm (39.4
” ) to ensure sufficient air flow. It should be used in an area where the ambient temperature, as
measured at the projector air inlet, does not 50°C (+122°F).
For 360° installations and multi-projector setups, make sure to have at least 100 cm (39.4 ” ) space around the
air inlets and outlet of the projector.

Clean air environment
The projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free flow of clean air into the projectors
ventilation inlets. For installations in environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants
such as that produced by smoke machines or similar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the
projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degrading performance), then it is highly advisable
and desirable to have this contamination removed prior to it reaching the projectors clean air supply. Devices
or structures to extract or shield contaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not a
feasible solution then measures to relocate the projector to a clean air environment should be considered.
Only ever use the manufacturer ’ s recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for
cleaning optical parts, never use industrial strength cleaners on the projector ’ s optics as these will degrade
optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics components. Failure to take suitable precautions to
protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contaminants will culminate in extensive
and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will be
noneffective and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the
manufacturer
’ s warranty and may deem the warranty null and void. In such a case the client shall be held
solely responsible for all costs incurred during any repair. It is the clients responsibility to ensure at all times
that the projector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborne particles in the environment of the
