							Safety Warnings
All the safety warning in this manual are in bold italic type and can be identified by
the symbol shown on the left.
A list containing all the warnings is given below. It is recommended that time is
taken to study these before installing or operating the projector.
The projector should always be lifted using the handrail. Do not attempt to lift the
projector by holding the covers or the lens.
The customer should never attempt to disassemble the lamp from its housing or to
dispose of it other than by returning it to Digital Projection. 
The condenser is precisely aligned in the factory. If it is moved there could be a
reduction in light output and image display quality.
Do not move or tamper with any seals or ducting panels on the projector or the
air flow could be disrupted and cause the projector to overheat. Always keep the
air inlets and outlets clear of any obstruction.
High Voltage, Danger of Death - the arc lamp power supply has a 30kV strike
pulse mechanism, which is active during lamp switch-on.
The projector should never, under any circumstances, be operated upside with the
lamp pointing upwards (i.e. with the right hand side facing downwards).
To avoid possible damage to the prism, lens and lent mount,  a lens adapter must
by used if using POWER gvlenses on an LIGHTNING sxprojector.
Never mount the projector near air conditioning or heating ducts, electrical
wiring or any materials which could be affected by the projectors operational
heat i.e. polystyrene ceiling tiles etc. The projector should never, under any 
circumstances, be operated with the lamp pointing upwards (i.e. with the right
hand side of the projector facing downwards).

							At least 4 people are required for safe movement of the projector. The projector is
designed to be lifted using the handrail at the base. Do not attempt to lift the 
projector by holding the front, the side covers or the lens.
Care should be taken when removing or attaching the projector feet to ensure that
the projector does not rest on its feet at an angle.
Never operate the projector with the cover removed and always switch off the
mains supply and disconnect the plug before removing the cover.
Never look into the lamp housing or the lens, or attempt to remove the lamp from
its housing when the projector is on.
OTHER IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
In order to ensure that correct internal airflows are maintained, and that the 
projector complies with Electro-Magnetic Compatibility requirements, it should
always be operated with all of its covers in place.
Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the projector. If this does
happen, switch off and unplug the mains supply immediately. Do not operate the
projector again until it has been checked by qualified service personnel.
The projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures free flow of air
into its air inlets and unimpeded evacuation of the hot air exhausted from its
cooling system. The air exit duct at the right-hand side of the projector can
become hot during operation and should not be touched by the operator. Heat
sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the exhausted air.
Do not move or tamper with any seals or ducting panels on the projector or the
air flow could be disrupted and cause the projector to overheat. Always keep the
air inlets and outlets clear of any obstruction.

							Pre-Installation Check
Before mounting the projector in its intended location, the following pre-installation
routine must be performed:
1. Install the projector lens.
2. Ensure all the air flow inlet and outlet ducts are clear from obstruction.
3. Insert the power cord securely into the socket on the rear panel of the projector 
and connect to an appropriate mains supply (refer to the specification label at 
the rear of projector).
4. Switch on the projector and wait for approximately 30 seconds.
5. Check air is flowing out of the exit ducts on the top and left hand side of the 
projector.
6. Insert batteries into the remote control unit (see overleaf).
7. With the screen or a wall illuminated, confirm the Menu System is operational 
by pressing OSD ON then MENU on remote control (a main menu should be 
clearly visible).
8. Turn the lamp off by depressing the LAMP OFF button on the remote control 
for two seconds.

							Remote Control Unit - Battery Installation
The Remote Control Unit can be powered by 4 AAA (HP16/RO3/LR03) alkaline
batteries or by direct connection to the projector via a remote receiver or hard wire.
The battery compartment is located on the back of the
Remote Control. To remove the compartment cover,
insert a finger-nail into the recess provided to the right
of the cover and push to the right. While pushing to the
right, lift out the left hand side of the cover.
Insert the first two new batteries as shown below and
slide them to the back of the compartment. Insert the
remaining two batteries by pivoting them against the 
electrical contacts and pushing down into place.
When the batteries are securely in place, replace the cover by aligning the stays on
the right hand side and pushing down the left hand side until it clicks into place.

							Remote Receiver
The optional remote receiver acts as a relay between
the remote control and the projector and is useful for
installations where the Infra Red signal from the
remote cannot reach the sensors on the projector.
The Infra Red signals from the remote control are
picked up by the IR receiver on the front of the
remote receiver and are relayed to the projector via
the 15 way high density D style connector on the
underside of the unit.
The remote receiver also allows direct cabling (hard
wiring) of the remote control unit via a 4 way
LEMO connector. When used in this way, the
remote control does not require batteries and the IR
receiver on the remote receiver is disabled.
Hard wiring has the advantage of allowing control
of the projector from a greater distance: The cable
from the remote control to the remote receiver can
be up to 10m (33ft) in length and the cable 
connecting the remote receiver to the projector can
be up to 60m (200ft) long.
When hard wiring, the remote control unit must 
be connected to the remote receiver before the
remote receiver is connected to the projector. If the 
connections are not made in this order the remote
receiver fuse will trip and the remote receiver will
have to be disconnected for approximately one
minute before reconnecting in the correct manner.
For further information on remote receiver wiring,
see Cables and Connections, D—18.

							Hard Wired Remote Adapter
The hard wired remote adapter consist of two cables which connect together to form
a direct (hard wired) link between the remote control unit and the projector.
The longer of the two cables has with a 3.5mm stereo jack plug at one end which
connects into the top of the remote control unit.
The 3.5mm stereo jack plug has a long outer shell - some of which may be visible
when the plug is seated correctly in the Remote Control Unit. To avoid damage,
do not attempt to push the plug further into the Remote Control Unit.
The shorter cable has a 15-pin ‘D’ type connector which connects to the ‘Ext
Remote’ input on the back of the projector. The two cables then connect together
using a 3-pole audio/video connector and are secured by a latch to prevent 
accidental disengagement
The remote control unit must be connected to the remote adapter before the
remote adapter is connected to the projector. If the connections are not made in
this order the remote adapter fuse will trip and the remote adapter will have to be
disconnected for approximately one minute before reconnecting in the correct
manner.
As with hard wiring via the remote receiver, the remote control does not require
batteries when used in this manner. The remote adapter also allows control of the
projector from a greater distance than via the remote receiver - using standard
‘XLR’ cable assemblies the user can extend the length of cable up to a maximum of
100m (330ft).
For further information on the hard wire remote adapter wiring, see Cables and
Connections, D—20.
