    Stacking HDX projectors B.1 Mount stacking points Required tools Allen key 8 mm How to mount Place the first stacking point on a corner. Image B-1: Stacking points, mount Turn in the delivered bolt. Repeat for the other 3 stacking points. B.2 Stacking HDX projectors CAUTION: Maximum stack three (3) projectors in a table mounted configuration.
  • Page 193 Stacking HDX projectors Image B-2: Dual stack Tip: In case of stacking projectors for a ceiling mount configuration, first turn the projectors upside down before placing the projectors on top of each other. Attach the two projectors together by closing all four interlocking adapters. Image B-3: Interlocking, close Extra actions for ceiling mounted stack Two safety cables must be mounted between both projectors, one at each longitudinal side.
  • Page 194 Stacking HDX projectors Image B-4: Security cables, mount Mount the other end of the security cable around the carry handle of the top projector and clasp the safety hook round the cable as illustrated. Make sure that the falling distance is maximum 20 cm. If necessary, before clasping the safety hook around the cable, turn the cable a few time around the carry handle.

    Stacking HDX projectors WARNING: Never open an interlocking adapter of a stacked projector which is still suspended. First place the stacked projectors on the floor. B.3 Aligning stacked HDX projectors Required tools No tools required. How to align stacked projectors Make sure that the internal hatch pattern projected by the reference projector is sharp and has a perfect rectangle outline.
  • Page 196 Stacking HDX projectors Inclination Image B-7: Stacked projectors, inclination If necessary, adjust the skew of the stacked projector with respect to the reference projector by turning the Hand screw in or out. The hand screw is located at smallest side of the carrying handle (front or back). Adjust until the outline of the hatch pattern is most symmetric with the reference hatch pattern.
  • Page 197 Stacking HDX projectors Note: Note that the “Zoom” function is motorized, which means that you have to access the projector software, via the local keypad or remote control unit, to operate the “Zoom” function. Zoom Image B-10 If necessary, repeat from step 2 until the hatch pattern of the stacked projector is perfectly aligned with the hatch pattern of the reference projector.

    Glossary Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or the energy per surface unit becomes lower than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or on the skin. The light beam is considered (to be) unsafe for exposure if the distance from a person to the light source is less than the HD. Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or the energy per surface unit becomes lower than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or on the skin.
