 Keep the cinema projector level when you lift or transport it. Avoid tilting the
cinema projector 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 a automatic LampLOC™ adjustment  when you move, level, or install a 
new lamp in the cinema projector.
2.5 Position the Cinema Projector
1. If you are installing the cinema projector in the optional rack stand (P/N 108-282101-xx) 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 thro w 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 : Keep the cinema projecto r lens as parallel to the screen as possible,  even if significantly above the 
screen center. When a particularly sh ort throw distance combines with a very 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 key-
stone distortion. 
3. Position the lamp power  supply so that the cables reach the  left side of the cinema projector.
4. Install and secure the lamp powe r supply (LPS) in the rack stand:
 a. Remove the right side panel of the rack stand.
 b. Remove the cross bar.

Installation and Setup
 c. Insert the LPS support into the rack stand and align the pins with the holes. 
 d. Lift the LPS into the frame. 
 e. Remove the bottom 10 panels from the back of the rack stand.
 f. Assemble the three piece airflow duct supplied  with the LPS. First, snap the 2 “L” shaped parts 
together, and then snap this  into the 6 stand out pins of the third piece (flat panel).
 g. Position the airflow duct directly behind the LPS. 
CAUTION!  DO NOT install any components in 
front of the lamp power supply.
 h. Insert the airflow duct into the rack stand.
 i. Secure the airflow duct to the rack stand using the  screws from the rack stand panels.
 j. Wire all of the componen ts in the rack stand and 
replace the side panel.
 k. Twist LPS cable 12 twist/meter.
5. Attach the supplied safety strap to the back of the cinema  projector and fasten it to its mounting surface. Use of the 
strap is mandatory to prevent the cinema projector from 
tipping when a lens or auxiliary lens mount is installed. 
NOTE: If you are using the optional rack stand, it is recommended that you use the hold down clamp (116-
100101-01) in addition to th e rear safety strap to firmly secure th e rear feet of the cinema projector.

2.6 Adjust Tilt and Level the Cinema Projector
 The cinema projector rear safety strap must be in place before you adjust the 
cinema projector feet.
 DO NOT over-extend the feet. Make sure several threads are engaged into 
the cinema projector’s baseplate.
The lens should be centered and para llel with the screen. This orientation ensures optimum lens performance 
with minimal offset. If this position  is not possible (such as when the cine ma projector is significantly higher 
than the center of the screen), it is better to rely on offset rather than extra tilt. 
Use a protractor to measure the degree  of screen tilt and then extend or retract the cinema projector feet to 
match this angle. 
NOTE:  The front-to-back tilt of the cinema projector must not exceed 15°.  This limit ensures safe lamp 
operation and the  proper positioning of th e liquid cooling reservoir.
To adjust the vertical or horizontal position of the cinema projector, 
extend or retract the adjustable feet  on the bottom of the cinema projector 
by rotating them. Once the required adjustment is made, tighten the lock 
nut. 
If you need to adjust the vertical or horizontal positio n of the cinema 
projector beyond what the standard f eet allow, you can install two 6 inch 
extension rods to increase the amou nt of adjustment. To install the 
extension rods safely: 
1. Prop the rear of the cinema projector up to access and remove the  two rear feet. This can be done by one person holding the back end of 
the cinema projector up slightly so another person can unthread the 
feet OR by propping up the back of the cinema projector with a 
sturdy base (such as a phone book).
2. Add the extension rods to the standard feet.
3. Thread the extended feet into th e cinema projector baseplate. Adjust  the feet until the desired tilt is 
achieved.
4. Turn each lock nut until it fits  tight against the cinema projector to lock the feet in place.

Connect the existing outside-venting ductwork to the 8 inch 
diameter exhaust port on the  top of the cinema projector. 
Confirm that there are no obstructions or bends in the ducting, 
all air intakes are free of obstructions, and the vane switch at 
the exit duct moves freely.
The pre-installed outside-venting  duct should be rigid at the 
cinema projector and must also  include a heat extractor and 
blower that maintains a mini mum of 450 CFM* when the 
cinema projector is operating at  less than or equal to 25°C 
ambient and less than 3,000 feet, when measured at the cinema 
projector exhaust opening.
 
• *600 CFM is required in projection rooms with an  ambient temperature above 25°C or located at an 
elevation greater than 3000 feet above sea level.
• At minimum, a 10” long, strong metal duct must be installed at the cinema projector to pre- vent glass shards from exiting the du ct in the event of a lamp explosion.
2.8.1 Determine the cinema projector Exhaust CFM Value
Use an airflow meter to measure the ft/min or ft/
sec at the rigid end of the open exhaust duct that 
connects to the cinema projector. Take the 
measurement at the very end of the duct without 
the cinema projector connected. Use this formula 
to determine the CFM  value for the cinema 
projector:
Measured linear ft/min x 0.35 = CFM
Table 2.1 Airflow Requirement 
Add an extractor or a booster if there is insufficient ai rflow. Do not mount the extractor on the cinema projector 
as this may introduce some vibration into the image.  NOTE: To prevent the cinema projector from overheating 
or becoming unsafe, an alarm sounds if the duct is ob structed or a fan fails. It is recommended that you 
regularly verify that the exhaust is functioning correctly. 
 Never disable the vane switch. Attemp ting to operate the cinema projector
with inadequate airflow can result in dang erous overheating of the cinema projector.
