Installation Guidelines INSTALLATION GUIDELINES Safety warning Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions Installation Guidelines Ambient Temperature Conditions 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.
Installation Guidelines Which screen type? There are two major categories of screens used for projection equipment. Those used for front projected images and those for rear projection applications. Screens are rated by how much light they reflect (or transmit in the case of rear projection systems) given a determined amount of light projected toward them.
Use the lens formulas to find the best corresponding PD with regard to the measured projector-screen distance for the required screen width. The desired lens is determined. Available lenses The projector is supplied without any lens. The following lenses are available, or will become available (contact a Barco service center) as an option : Lenses Standard version QFD(1.27:1) R9840400 QFD(2.5:1)
QFD(7.0:1) Metric PD = 7.021 x SW + 0.047 + 0.0093/SW PD = 7.021 x SW + 1.85 + 14.41/SW Lens program to calculate the projector distance is available on the BARCO webside : http://www.barco.com/projection_systems/customer_services/lens_program.asp How to install the lens? Follow the next procedure : 1.
Installation Guidelines Image 3 Image 4 Cleaning the Lens To minimize the possibility of damaging the optical coating or scratching exposed lens surface, we have developed recommendations for cleaning the lens. FIRST, we recommend you try to remove any material from the lens by blowing it off with clean, dry deionized air.
1. The common address can be zero (0) or one (1). The standard RCU are setup for common address zero. To change the common address of the RCU, contact a BARCO service center. If it is necessary to program the projector address into the RCU, see chapter 'Getting Started'.
