About this chapter
Read this chapter before installing your HDX projector. It contains important information concerning installation requirements for the
HDX projector, such as minimum and maximum allowed ambient temperature, humidity conditions, required safety area around the
installed projector, required power net, etc.
Furthermore, careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector placement and type of screen to use
are critical to the optimum use of the projection system.

Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated terms of guar-

fi
cation mentioned in this chapter is critical for projector performance. Neglecting
this can result in loss of warranty.
2.1
Installation requirements
Environment conditions
Table below summarizes the physical environment in which the HDX projector may be safely operated or stored.
Environment
Operating
Non-Operating
Ambient Temperature
10 °C (50 °F) to 40 °C (104 °F)
-15°C (5°F) to 60°C (140°F)
Humidity
5% to 85% RH Non-condensed
5% to 95% RH Non-Condensed
Altitude
-60 (-197Ft) to 3000m (9843Ft)
-60 (-197Ft) to 10000m (32810Ft)
Let the projector acclimatize after unpacking. Neglecting this may result in a startup failure of the Light Pro-
cessor Unit.
Cooling requirements
The projector is fan cooled and must be installed with suf
fi
cient space around the projector head, minimum 10 cm (4 inch) to ensure
suf
fi
cient air
fl
ow. It should be used in an area where the ambient temperature, as measured at the projector air inlet , does not
40°C (+104°F).
Clean air environment
A projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free
fl
ow 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 speci
fi
cally 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 contam-
inants 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
