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.
2.
Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 1,000 mm (3 feet 3 inches) or more around the pro-
jector’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.
Make sure that nothing blocks the projector’s air intake and exhaust openings. Also, install the pro-
jector so that cool or hot air from other air conditioning equipment does not flow directly toward
the projector’s air intake or exhaust openings.
5.
Do not install the projector in an enclosed space. If it is necessary to install it in an enclosed
space, add a separate ventilation system. If ventilation is insufficient, hot air will accumulate at the
intake opening. This may cause the projector’s protective circuit to interrupt projector operation.
6.
If the projector is installed in an enclosed space, ensure that 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.
7.
When installing the projector in any manner other than floor mounting with the adjuster legs, use
the five threaded ceiling mount holes (screw diameter: M6, projector interior thread length: 12 mm)
to secure the projector.
