  • Page 48 Later, when the projector is up-and-running, adjust precise image geometry and placement. Projector tilting In an ideal installation, the Thor series projector lens surface is centered with and parallel to the screen. This orientation helps to ensure optimized lens performance with minimal offset. If this position is not possible (such as when the projector is significantly higher than the center of the screen), it is better to rely on offset rather than extra tilt.

  • Page 49: Connecting The Hoses With Projector And Chillers

    The length of the hoses depend on the position of the chillers in relation to the projector. The maximum length is 10 meter! Depending on the projector model one or two chillers are required! For the Thor series projector one chiller has to be installed. The Thor+ series needs two chillers.
