Installation Guidelines
Ambient Temperature Conditions
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.
Operation temperature :
Max. ambient temperature : 40 °C (104°F)
Min. ambient temperature : 0 °C (32°F).
The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (0°C- 40°C) (32°F-104°F).
Storage temperature : -35 °C to + 65 °C (-25.6°F to 149°F)
Humidity Conditions
Storage : 0 - 98% RH Non-condensing
Operation : 0 - 95% RH Non-condensing
Environment
Do not install the projection system in a site near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or humidity. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not
excessive.
Which screen type?
There are two major categories of screens used for projection equipment. Those used for front projected images and those for rear
projection applications.
Screens are rated by how much light they reflect (or transmit in the case of rear projection systems) given a determined amount
of light projected toward them. The GAIN of a screen is the term used. Front and rear screens are both rated in terms of gain. The
gain of screens range from a white matte screen with a gain of 1 (x1) to a brushed aluminized screen with a gain of 10 (x10) or
more. The choice between higher and lower gain screens is largely a matter of personal preference and another consideration called
the Viewing angle.
In considering the type of screen to choose, determine where the viewers will be located and go for the highest gain screen possible.
A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the viewing angle.
Regardless of the type of screen used, it is important that your screen is of sufficient height to display the images at the aspect ratio
intended to be used. If you have insufficient height, you will have to reduce the overall image size in order to display the full image
on your screen.
For more information about screens, contact your local screen supplier.
What image size? How big should the image be?
The projector is designed for projecting an image size : min 1.00m (3.3ft) to max depending on the ambient light conditions, with a
aspect ratio of 4 to 3.
