Let the projector acclimatize after unpacking. Neglecting this may result in a startup failure of the
Light Processor.
Cooling requirements
The projector is fan cooled and must be installed with sufficient space around the projector front, minimum 10
cm (4 in) to ensure sufficient air flow. It should be used in an area where the ambient temperature, as
measured at the projector air inlets , does not 40°C (+104°F).
Make sure to not install the backside of the projector near walls or other solid objects. Make sure there is a
minimum distance of 60 cm (23.6 in) between the air outlets on the backside and the nearest solid object. If
mounted too close to a solid object, the hot air from the air outlets may find its way back into the air inlets on
the Light Source side of the projector, which will rapidly increase the temperature inside the projector.

Since the projector is foreseen to be stacked while in the rigging frame, the minimum distance
space around the top and bottom air inlets should be the distance between two stacked projectors
while in the rigging frame.
Clean air environment
A 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 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.
