Position the projector
1. Position the projector at an appropriate th row distance (projector-to-screen distance) and 
vertical position. Ideally, center the projector  with the screen. If space is limited, aim the 
projector slightly off-center. This increases side keystoning, but reduces the horizontal lens 
offset required.
Keep the projector lens as perpendicular to the  screen as possible, even if significantly above 
the screen center. When a particularly short thro w distance combines with a wide screen, you 
may have to forfeit some aim and stay more pe rpendicular to the screen. In such cases, some 
lens offset can reduce the keystone distortion.
2. Position the lamp power supply (LPS) so its cables reach the lens side of the projector.
3. If using an optional rack stand (P/N: 108-282101-02), assemble the rack stand using the  instructions provided with the rack stand.  Use the hold down clamp (P/N: 116-100101-01) 
when securing the projector to the rack stand.
C Main LPS breaker Acts as a power switch, protec ting the LPS against over-current conditions 
of 50A or more.
D Projector Interlock and 
Communication Connections Provides communication between the projector and the lamp power supply.
E DC lamp power cables Carries power fro m the LPS to the projection lamp.
F Lamp breaker Acts as a power switch, protecti ng the LPS against over-current conditions 
of 50A or more.
G Outlet breaker Acts as a power switch, pr otecting the extractor and the projector 
electronics against over-current  conditions of 15A or more.
H Power phase indicator lights Indicates th e power on each of the three phases.
I LPS power inlet Supplies power to the LPS. This connection  must be professionally wired, 
according to local regulations.

Install the lamp power supply in a rack stand
1. Remove the right (operators side) panel of the rack stand.
2. Remove the cross bar.
3. Insert the lamp power supply  (LPS) support into the rack stand and align the pins with the 
holes.
4. Lift the LPS into the frame.
5. Remove the bottom 10 panels from the back of the rack stand.
6. Assemble the three-piece airflow duct (supplie d with LPS). First snap the two L shaped parts 
together, and then snap this into the six stand out pins of the third piece (flat panel).
7. Position the airflow duct directly behind the LPS.
8. Insert airflow duct into rack stand from the outside.
9. Secure airflow duct to rack stand using screws from the rack stand panels.
i
Do not install any components in front of the  lamp power supply that will restrict airflow.

10. When installing other components in the rack st and allow at least two inches of clearance above 
the LPS handles for ease of servicing.
11. Wire all components within the rack stand and replace the side panel.
Connect the lamp power supply
Danger!  Failure to comply with the followin g results in death or serious injury.
In a multi-projector installa tion there is a risk of a Fire Hazard if the high current DC cables and 
interlock/control cables are incorrectly cross-conn ected between the projector heads and lamp power 
supplies (LPSs). 
To avoid cross connections betw een projectors and lamp power supplies, always perform this 
procedure in its entirety for each projector, one  after another. Never attempt to connect multiple 
projectors and lamp power supplie s together at the same time. 
Before powering the projector on for the first  time, check that the high current DC leads and 
interlock/control cables are corr ectly connected between the LPS an d its corresponding projector. 
Failure to comply may result in a Fire Hazard.
Warning!  Failure to comply with the following co uld result in death or serious injury.
• Certified electrician required du ring installation. Ground (earth) connection is necessary for safety. 
Never compromise safety by retu rning the current through the ground. Connect ground first to 
reduce shock hazard.
• Use an appropriate strain relief connector on the AC supply cable to prevent the cable from rubbing  against the LPS knockout pl ate and becoming damaged.

• For Europe and China (380-415 VAC): Wire Phase 1, 2, 3, Neutral and Ground
a. Loosen the six screws to remove the LPS side panel.
b. Move the AC input line voltage switch in the upper-left corner of the LPS to the left. When  using a 200 VAC supply, see  Configuring ballast settings for 200 VAC operation  on page 
29, or to the right when using a 400 VAC supply see  Configuring ballast settings for 400 
VAC operation  on page 30.
c. Reinstall and secure the LPS side panel with six screws.
6. Connect one end of the line cord into the LPS power connector labeled  Projector ONLY.

recommended line cord provided for your region.
7. Connect the other end of the projector line cord  into the plug on the bottom lamp-side of the 
projector front bezel.  
Caution! Failure to comply with the following could result in minor or moderate injury.
When connecting the high current lamp leads between the LPS and the igniter, make sure 
the black (-) power cabl e (cathode lead) is securely connected with the washers and lock 
washers properly in place and tighten to 175  inch-lbs, 14 ft-lbs or 20Nm at both ends.
Caution! Failure to comply with the following could result in minor or moderate injury.
Use an appropriately sized strain relief connector with the knockout plate provided to ensure 
adequate environmental sealing and to preven t the cable from accidentally being torn out.
Notice. Failure to comply with the following may result in property damage.
Internal input line voltage switch sett ing must match AC available on site.
Warning! Failure to comply with the following co uld result in death or serious injury.
Do  not  access projector power directly from the building electrical source. When using the 
power connectors to power the  projector and/or an extraction unit, the power connector 
terminal block must be terminated correctly to allow  200 - 240 VAC output. These 
connectors are controlled with the power  connector breaker. For details, see the 
Interconnect Drawing prov ided with the projector.
