Considerations for projector installation
Please read the following carefully before installing this unit.
Installation environment
This unit is a precision device. Do not install it in the following places. Doing so may cause
fire or malfunction of the unit.
• Where there is water, humidity or dust.
• Where the unit may be subjected to oily or cigarette smoke.
• On a soft surface such as carpet or cushion.
• Where the unit may be subjected to high temperature due to direct sunlight.
• When temperature is high or low.
Allowable operation temperature range: +5º to +35ºC.
Allowable relative humidity range: 20% to 80% (no condensation)
Allowable storage temperature range: -10º to +60ºC.
• Any room in which there is cigarette smoke or grease.
Even where smoke and grease levels are minimal, prolonged exposure will affect this unit.
This unit produces significant amounts of heat, and the optical components are cooled by
taking in a large amount of air. The optical path may be soiled by grease/dirt, thus causing
images to become dark or colour projection to deteriorate. Where soiling of the optical
components occurs, total removal of grease/dirt may not be possible.
Operating precautions
This unit uses a light source that reaches high temperatures during projection.
Do not allow projection under the following conditions, as doing so may cause
fire or failure of the unit:
• Projection with the unit laid on its sides
• Projection with the unit installed at an unreasonable angle
Avoid using this unit at an angle of more than 5º horizontally and 25º vertically. Doing so
may cause unevenness in the colour and/or shorten the lamp life.
• Projection in a location that blocks the air inlets or exhaust vents
• Projection in a place exposed to air blasts from an air conditioner
• Projection without removing the lens cap
