Page 61: Projector Mounting Tacit 210 And Up - Portrait/8 Rigging Points
Projector Mounting Tacit 210 and up – Portrait/8 rigging points This mounting style is for projectors with a rigging point at each corner of the projector chassis (mainly larger Christie projectors). The portrait mounting kit allows horizontal mounting and tilt up to 6 degrees up or down. IMPORTANT: Projectors with air inlets on the side of the projector chassis: The inlet side MUST face down, for optimal airflow. -
Page 62: Projector Mounting Tacit 210 And Up - Portrait/4 Rigging Points
Projector Mounting Tacit 210 and up – Portrait/4 rigging points This mounting style is for projectors with no rigging points on top of the chassis (most projectors). In all cases, first remove the projector feet, and use (usually M10) bolts to fix to the two Portrait mount L-Brackets. IMPORTANT: Projectors with air inlets on the side of the projector chassis: The inlet side MUST face down, for optimal airflow. -
Page 63: Projector-Specific Mounting
Do not attempt to lift the projector if in any doubt about your lifting capacity. Tempest provides a special internal fan box to hang on the right side of the projector, to ensure delivery of adequate inlet airflow, required for landscape versions only. -

DPI Insight 4K The lamp exhaust from this projector requires a special chimney (provided) to separate the rear inlet from hot rear exhaust air. Adjust so that the sliding sides of the chimney are seated snugly around the projector lamp exhaust (a vertical slot in the back of the projector). -
Page 67: Important: Locating The Temperature Sensor
Important: Locating the Temperature Sensor Temperature Sensor It is important to position the temperature sensor as close as possible to the main projector air inlet. By doing this, Zen will accurately maintain the desired temperature (see CONTROL MENU/Set Temp Ranges section above). The temperature sensor is mounted on a gooseneck arm, with a flexible cable, and may be mounted at any point around the projector tray. -
