2.1 Installation requirements
Environment conditions
Table below summarizes the physical environment in which the G50 projector may be safely operated or
stored.

Cooling requirements
The projector is fan cooled and must be installed with sufficient space around the projector head, minimum
100 cm (39.4 inch) 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 40°C (+104°F).
For ceiling mounted installations, make sure to leave 30 mm (1.2”) between the ceiling mount and the bottom
intake vents of the projector.

Clean air environment
The projector must be installed in environments where the dust conditions are as low as expected in a
standard office environment. The environment should be clean and free from hostile airborne particles which
may have harmful effects on the internal parts of the projector (e. g., airborne contaminants produced by
smoke or snow machines, contaminants derived from chemical products such as e. g., disinfectants,
conducting types of dust, excessive dust).
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 this contamination
must be 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
