WARNING:Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions.
2.1 General
WARNING:Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions.
Ambient Temperature Conditions.
Careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector placement and type of screen to use are critical to
the optimum use of the projection system.
Max. ambient temperature : 35°C or 95 °F
Min. ambient temperature : 10 °C or 50 °F
The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (10°C- 35°C or 50°F-95°F).
Storage temperature: -35°C to +65°C (-31°F to 149°F)
Humidity Conditions
Storage: 0 to 98 % RH Non-condensing
Operation: 0 to 95 % RH Non-condensing
CAUTION:Harmful Environmental Contamination Precaution
Environment
Do not install the projection system in a site near heat sources suchas radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or humidity. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not
excessive.
Environment condition check
A projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free flow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets. For
installations in environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke machines or
similar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degrading
performance), then it is highly advisable and desirable to have this contamination removed prior to it reaching the projectors clean
air supply. Devices or structures to extract or shield contaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not a
feasible solution then measures to relocate the projector to a clean air environment should be considered.
Only ever use the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never
use industrial strength cleaners on the projector’s optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics
components. Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contam-
inants will culminate in extensive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will
be non-effective and impracticable. Damageof this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufacturer’s warranty
and may deem the warranty null and void. In such a case the client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during any
repair. It is the clients responsibility to ensure at all times that the projector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborne
particles in the environment of the projector. The manufacturer reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to
wantful neglect, abandon or improper use.

							2. Installation Guidelines
Special Care for Laser Beams
Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as performant laser equipment. Direct or indirect hitting
of a laser beam on to the lens can severely damage the Digital MicroMirror Devices™ in which case there is a loss of warranty
Which screen type ?
There are two major categories of screens used for projection equipment. Those used for front projected images and those for rear
projection applications.
Screens are rated by how much light they reflect (or transmit in the case of rear projection systems) given a determined amount
of light projected toward them. The ‘GAIN’ of a screen is the term used. Front and rear screens are both rated in terms of gain.
The gain of screens range from a white matte screen with a gain of 1 (x1) to a brushed aluminized screen with a gain of 10 (x10)
or more. The choice between higher and lower gain screens is largely a matter of personal preference and another consideration
called the Viewing angle. In considering the type of screen to choose, determine where the viewers will be located and go for the
highest gain screen possible. A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the viewing angle. For more information
about screens, contact your local screen supplier.
What image size? How big should the image be?
The projector is designed for projecting an image size : min 1.00m (3.3ft) to max 15 m (49.2ft) (depending on the ambient light
conditions), with an aspect ratio of 4 to 3.
2.2 Projector Configuration
Which configuration can be used?
The projector can be installed to project images in four different configurations:
• Front/table
• Rear/table
• Front/ceiling
• Rear/ceiling
Positioning the projector
The projector should be installed perpendicular with the screen on a distance PD and water leveled in both directions. The mounting
positions in the following images are shown for a nominal lens position.

2.3.2 Lens formulas
Formulas
For TLD HB lenses :
Metric Formulas (meter)Inch formulas (inch)
TLD HB (0.8 :
1)PD = 0.77 x SW + 0.07PD = 0.77 x SW + 2.76
TLD HB (1.6 -
2)WidePD = 1.47 x SW - 0.07PD = 1.47 x SW - 2.76
Te l ePD = 1.85 x SW - 0.11PD = 1.85 x SW - 4.33
TLD HB (2 -
2.8)WidePD = 1.85 x SW - 0.14PD = 1.85 x SW - 5.51
Te l ePD = 2.62 x SW - 0.21PD = 2.62 x SW - 8.27
TLD HB (2.8 -
5)WidePD = 2.58 x SW - 0.14PD = 2.58 x SW - 5.51
Te l ePD = 4.71 x SW - 0.35PD = 4.71 x SW + 13.78
TLD HB (5 - 8)WidePD = 4.52 x SW + 0.01PD = 4.52 x SW + 0.39
Te l ePD = 7.53 x SW - 0.26PD = 7.53 x SW - 10.24
The formulas for TLD HB lenses are also valid for TLD lenses with the same range.
The light output if TLD HB lenses is higher than the light output of TLD lenses. The contrast ratio is higher for
TLD lenses than for TLD HB lenses.
Lens shift
For table mounted projector:
Shift left 50%
Shift right 50%
Shift down 10%
Shift up 95%
2.3.3 Lens installation
The default lens is standard mounted on the projector when it arrives on your location.
How to replace with another lens?
Follow the next procedure:
1. Move the handle (A) of the lens anchor system to the left and take out the lens.
2. Take the new lens assembly out of its packing material and remove the lens caps on both sides.
3. Push the lens, motors at the top, in the lens block gap horizontally, lining up the motor connector on the lens with the connector
on the lens block (B). (image 2-3)
Caution:On a table mounted projector, hold the projector when pushing the lens into the lens block to avoid sliding off from
the table.
4. Move the handle (A) of the lens anchor system to the right (front view, table mount) to lock the lens.

2.3.4 Cleaning the lens
To minimize the possibility of damaging the optical coating or scratching exposed lens surface, we have de-
veloped recommendations for cleaning the lens. FIRST, we recommend you try to remove any material from
the lens by blowing it off with clean, dry deionized air. DO NOT use any liquid to clean the lenses.
Necessary tools
To r a y s e eTMcloth (delivered together with the lens kit). Order number : R379058.
Howtocleanthelens?
Proceed as follow :
1. Always wipe lenses with a CLEAN Toraysee
TMcloth.
2. Always wipe lenses in a single direction.
Warning:Do not wipe back and forwards across the lens surface as this tends to grind dirt into the coating.
3. Do not leave cleaning cloth in either an open room or lab coat pocket, as doing so can contaminate the cloth.
4. If smears occur when cleaning lenses, replace the cloth. Smears are the first indication of a dirty cloth.
WARNING:Do not use fabric softener when washing the cleaning cloth or softener sheets when drying the
cloth.
Do not use liquid cleaners on the cloth as doing so will contaminate the cloth.
CAUTION:Other lenses can also be cleaned safely with this TorayseeTMcloth.
2.4 Battery Insertion in the Remote Control
Where to find the batteries
The batteries are not placed in the remote control to avoid remote control operation in its package, resulting in a shorter battery life
time.
How to install the batteries
1. Push the cover tab (A) with the fingernail a little backwards and pull upwards the cover top (B). (image 2-4)
2. Slide the cover forwards to remove. (image 2-5)
3. Push the battery body towards the spring and lift it up to remove. (image 2-6)
4. Insert two AA size batteries, making sure the polarities match the + and – marks inside the battery compartment (image 2-6).
5. Insert the lower tab of the battery cover in the gap at the bottom of the remote control, and press the cover until it clicks in place
(image 2-5).
