2.1 Installation requirements
Environmental conditions
The table below summarizes the physical environment in which the SP2K-C projector can be 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)
Air cleanliness Clean office environment (equivalent with
clean room standard ISO 14644-1 ISO Class
9) n.a.
Humidity 5% RH to 85% RH Non-Condensed 5% to 95% RH Non-Condensed
Altitude -60 (-197 ft) to 4.000 m (13.125 ft) 1 -60 (-197 ft) to 10.000 m (32.810
ft)
Let the projector acclimatize after unpacking. Neglecting this may result in a failure in the start-up of
the Light Processor Unit.
Cooling
The electronics of the projector are fan cooled. For this reason the projector must be installed with sufficient
space around the projector (minimum 20 cm (8 inch)) to ensure sufficient air flow. It should be used in an area
where the ambient temperature, as measured at the air inlets, does not exceed 40°C (104°F).
Projection rooms must be well ventilated or cooled in order to avoid build up of heat. It is necessary to vent hot
exhaust air from the projector to the outside of the building. The minimum flow rate of the air extraction system
depends on the ambient temperature and projector type:
Projector Minimum airflow at 25°C (77°F) Minimum airflow at 35°C (95°F)
SP2K–25C 400 CFM 650 CFM
SP2K–20C 400 CFM 650 CFM
When two or more projectors are installed close to each other, ensure that the projectors do not thermally
affect each other.
Use in high altitude conditions
Combining high altitude and high ambient temperature creates extra challenging conditions for any electronics
system; projectors are no exception to this. The system can be used up to 4.000 m (13.125 ft) altitude
1 , but the
maximum ambient temperature should be reduced once exceeding 2.500 m (8.202 ft). This in accordance
with the following table:
Altitude (m) Altitude (ft) Temp (°C) Temp (°F)
0 0 40 104
2 000 6 562 40 104
2 500 8 202 39 102
3 000 9 842 38 100
3 500 11 483 37 99
4 000 13 123 36 97
