2.1 Installation requirements
Environment conditions
Table below summarizes the physical environment in which the DP2K C-series projector may be safely operated or stored.
Environment
Ambient Temperature
Humidity
Altitude
Let the projector acclimate to the ambient temperature after unpacking. Neglecting this may result in a startup
failure of the Light Processor Unit.
Cooling requirements
The projector is fan cooled and must be installed with sufficient space mainly in the front of 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 head
air inlet and at the power unit 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 6,65
m /min (235 CFM).
