Installation Safety and Warning Guidelines

WARNING
• QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN REQUIRED for all installations. This product must be installed in a
restricted access location.
• Never operate the cinema projector without the covers in place.
• The cinema projector uses a high-pressure lamp that may explode if improperly handled.
Always wear manufacturer approved protective safety clothing (gloves, jacket, face shield)
whenever the lamp door is open or when handling the lamp. Only qualified technicians
should install cinema projector lamps.
• To prevent the cinema projector from tipping unexpectedly, you must install the safety
strap on the rear of the cinema projector.
• Four or more people are required to safely lift and carry one projection head a short dis-
tance. Remove the lamp before transporting the cinema projector.
• Keep the cinema projector level when you lift or transport it. Avoid tilting the cinema pro-
jector to the right. This can introduce an air bubble into the coolant hoses that can result in
an air lock and the overheating of the cinema projector.
• Perform an automatic LampLOC™ adjustment when you move, level, or install a new lamp
in the cinema projector.

Position the Cinema Projector

1. If you are installing the cinema projector in the optional rack stand (P/N 108-282101-02) follow the
instructions provided with the rack stand to install it.
NOTES: 1) For better access, wire the LPS before installing it into the rack stand. 2) Use the hold down
clamp (P/N 116-100101-01) when securing the cinema projector to the rack stand.
2. Position the cinema projector at an appropriate throw distance (cinema projector-to-screen distance) and
vertical position. Ideally, center the cinema projector with the theatre screen. If space is limited, you can
aim the cinema projector slightly off-center. This increases side keystoning, but reduces the horizontal lens
offset required.
NOTE: Unlike film cinema projectors, it is best to keep the cinema projector lens surface as parallel to the
screen as possible, even if significantly above the screen center. When a particularly short throw distance
