2.1 Installation requirements
Environmental conditions
The table below summarizes the physical environment in which the SP2K-S 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, 2 -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 to ensure sufficient air flow. Minimum free space must be 20 cm (8 inch) for inlets
and 30 cm (12 inch) for the outlets. 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–15S 250 CFM 400 CFM
SP2K–11S 210 CFM 400 CFM
SP2K–9S 190 CFM 400 CFM
SP2K–7S 170 CFM 400 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) and the power must be
restricted on 15S model
2 . This in accordance with the following table:
Altitude (m) Altitude (ft)
Maximum Power
(%) (15S model
only)
Maximum ambient
Temp (°C) Maximum ambient
Temp (°F)
0 0 100% 40 104
1 000 3 300 100% 40 104
2 000 6 600 100% 35 95
Getting started
1. Limited to 2.000 meters (6.562 feet) for Chinese Mainland due to local regulations.
2. For 15S model only, power must be restricted to 90% at 3000m (9900ft) and 80% at 4000m(13200ft) altitude. See table in section
“Use in high altitude conditions"
