General; Installation Requirements - Barco DP K-32B Series User And Installation Manual

2. GENERAL

About this chapter
Read this chapter before installing your DPxK-32B. It contains important information concerning installation requirements for the
DPxK-32B, such as minimum and maximum allowed ambient temperature, humidity conditions, required safety area around the
installed projector, required power net, etc.
Furthermore, careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector placement and type of screen to use
are critical to the optimum use of the projection system.
Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated terms of guar-
antee. Observing the specification mentioned in this chapter is critical for projector performance. Neglecting
this can result in loss of warranty.

2.1 Installation requirements
Environment conditions
Table below summarizes the physical environment in which the DPxK-32B may be safely operated or stored.

Ambient Temperature
Humidity
Altitude
Let the projector acclimatise after unpacking. Neglecting this may result in a startup failure of the Light Pro-
cessor Unit.
Cooling requirements
The projector is fan cooled and must be installed with sufficient space around the projector head, minimum 20 cm (8 inch) to ensure
sufficient air flow. It should be used in an area where the ambient temperature, as measured at the projector air inlet , does not
exceed +35°C (+95°F).
The installation of an exhaust system is MANDATORY. The installed exhaust blower must remove an air volume of minimum 10
m 3 /min (350 CFM) measured at the exhaust output of the projector.
Main Power requirements
The DPxK-32B operates from a nominal 230/400V 3W+N+PE 16A 50-60Hz (Y connection) or 208V 3W+PE 27A 50-60Hz (Δ con-
nection). The projector must be switched internally between a star connection to a delta connection or vice versa. See "Power input
setup of the DPxK-32B", page 20.
For a 3W+N+PE system, 400V is measured between the lines, 230V is measured between the lines and the neutral.
For a 3W+PE system, 208V is measured between the lines.
The power cord required to connect the projector with the power net is not delivered with the projector. It is the responsibility of the
customer to provide the correct type of power cord.
The cross-sectional area of the conductors in the power supply cord shall not be less than 4 mm
The power cord must be rated for minimum 300V in case of a 3W+PE (208V) power system, and minimum 500V in case of a
3W+N+PE (230/400V) power system.
To protect operating personnel, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) recommends that the instrument panel
and cabinet be grounded. In no event shall this projector be operated without an adequate cabinet ground connection.
