Preparing The Installation Site; Required Tools; Lifting And Positioning The Projector - Christie CP2420-Xe Installation And Setup Manual

Preparing the installation site

Ensure the installation area is ready for the components.
1. Clear the installation area.
2. Place each component near its installation location.

Required tools

The following tools are required for installation.
• 12" screwdrivers: Phillips #2 (magnetic) and flat
• Wrenches: 19mm and 7/8"
• Allen keys: 5mm and other assorted (metric)
• Heat extractor
• Lamp
• Christie-approved protective safety clothing
• Lens cleaning tissue and solution

Lifting and positioning the projector

Safely lift and position the projector in the location where it will be used.
Warning! If not avoided, the following could result in death or serious injury.
• A minimum of four people or appropriately rated lift equipment is required to safely lift, install,
or move the product.
• Do not install or operate the projector in any position that does not meet the stated product
specifications for alignment and orientation.
1. If installing the projector in the optional rack stand (P/N: 108-282101-XX), follow the
instructions provided with the rack stand to install it.
2. Position each person at the corners of the projector.
3. Place both hands under the corner, grasping the projector frame.
Do not lift the projector using any feature on the projector cover, such as the cover louvers or
lens opening.
4. Lift up the projector and move it to the location where it will be used.
5. Position the projector so it is centered and parallel with the theater screen.
If space is limited, aim the projector slightly off-center and use lens offset to center the image
on the screen.
Keep the projector lens as parallel to the screen as possible, even if significantly above the
screen center. When a particularly short throw distance combines with a wide screen, you may
have to forfeit some aim and stay more parallel to the screen. In such cases, some lens offset
can reduce the keystone distortion.
6. Attach the supplied safety strap to the back of the projector and fasten it to its mounting
surface.
