General Warnings

 

»

Before use, make sure the XPAND Passive 3D Polarization Modulator is installed safely and securely (refer to the 

Setup and 

Configuration

 section). You should begin using the product only after proper installation.

 

»

Do not get the product wet by any means as this may cause fire, electric shock or malfunctioning.

 

»

When cleaning, do not use flammable sprays or flammable solutions directly or indirectly on the product.

 

»

Do not stab or scratch the panel with your hand or with any other objects. This may lead to damage and/or malfunctioning of 
the product. It is suggested that the lens is covered with the supplied protective fabric pouch shipped with the unit when the 
modulator is not in use.

 

»

Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the product yourself.

 

»

To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire do not open the product or remove any part.

 

»

Prior to cleaning the XPAND Passive 3D Polarization Modulator always disconnect the power supply. 

 

»

If using a motorized mount together with the product, only install it on mounts which can handle the weight of the product. Use 
of XPAND’s Passive 3D Polarization Modulator Motorized Mount is strongly recommended.

 

»

Make sure that the modulator is never positioned in front of the projector when viewing 2D content! At that time the 
modulator is in 2D mode and its cooling fan is off. If it is exposed to light coming from the projector while the cooling 
fan is off, the modulator’s LC shutter can be damaged. Removing the modulator from the projector can either be done 
manually every time 2D content is viewed or by using a motorized mount, which is the preferred method. If using a 
mount, make sure to test the final setup before completing the installation. It is imperative that the mount moves the 
modulator away from the projector when viewing 2D content and the modulator’s fan is off. When in 3D mode, the fan 
must be on and the modulator positioned in front of the projector. See section 

Motion Control Setup Wizard

 for more 

information.
