Notes on Projector Placement and Operation:
The projector uses a high-wattage lamp that becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the following precautions.
1. Never place objects on top of the projector while it is operating.
2. Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 500 mm or more around the projector’s exhaust openings.
3. Do not stack projector units directly on top of one another for the purpose of multiple (stacked) projection. When
stacking projector units, be sure to provide the amount of space indicated below between them. These space
requirements also apply to installations where only one projector unit is operating at one time and the other unit is
used as a backup.
4. If the projector is placed in a box or enclosure, ensure the temperature of the air surrounding the projector is between
0°C and 35°C. Also make sure the projector’s intake and exhaust openings are not blocked. Take particular care to
ensure that hot air from the exhaust openings is not sucked into the intake openings.
Operating the Projector Continuously:
1. If the projector is to be operated continuously 24 hours a day, use the dual-lamp optical system’s alternating lamp
operation (lamp changer) function. The projector cannot be operated continuously 24 hours a day in dual-lamp mode.
Allow a minimum of two hours per day of non-operation time.
2. The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is operated repeatedly for short periods.
