About this chapter Read this chapter before installing G100 projector. It contains important information concerning installation requirements for the G100 projector, such as minimum and maximum allowed ambient temperature, humidity conditions, required safety area around the installed projector, required power net, etc.
Prepare to install 2.1 Installation requirements Environment conditions Table below summarizes the physical environment in which the G100 projector may be safely operated or stored. Operating Non-Operating Environment Ambient Temperature 5°C (41°F) to 50°C (122°F) -10°C (14°F) to 60°C (140°F)
Main power requirements The G100 projector operates from a nominal mono phase power net with a separate earth ground PE. Power requirements : 120-160 V / 200-240 V (+/-10%), 20 A, 50-60 Hz The power cord required to connect the projector with the power net is delivered with the projector.
This check should confirm that there are no broken knobs or connectors, that the cabinet and panel surfaces are free of dents and scratches, and that the operating panel is not scratched or cracked. The Barco Sales and Service office should be notified as soon as possible if this is not the case.
