Calculation of the projection distance

For a screen size different from the above, use the equation below to calculate the projection distance.

Aspect ratio 4:3 minimum L (m) = (diagonal screen size in inches) × 0.0354 – 0.0240

maximum L (m) = (diagonal screen size in inches) × 0.0425 – 0.0242

NOTE:

Distances calculated with the above equations will include a slight error.

Installable angle

Install the projector at an angle within the range shown below.

• Vertical direction

The projector may be installed at a vertical angle of 40°.

• Horizontal direction

The projector may be installed at a horizontal angle of 20°.

List of compatible signals

The signals that can be input to this projector are shown in the table below. Horizontal scanning frequencies of 25 kHz to 80 kHz (15 kHz to 100 kHz for RGB signals), vertical scanning frequencies of 50

Hz to 120 Hz (50 Hz to 100 Hz for RGB signals), and a dot clock of 162 MHz maximum (140 MHz maximum for RGB signals) can be input.

NOTE: The native resolution of this projector is 1,024 × 768 pixels. If the display resolution of the input signal is different from the native resolution, image compression or expansion will be used to convert the input signal to a level within the native resolution.

Operation (1 byte):

“=” (Sets the value designated by the parameters)

NOTE: When sending sub-commands that require no parameters, operation (E) and parameters are not necessary.

CAUTION

• It may not be possible to send or receive commands for about 10 to 60 seconds when the lamp is first turned on. If this occurs, wait for 60 seconds, then try sending or receiving again.

• When sending multiple commands, be sure to wait for at least 0.5 second after receiving a response from the projector before sending the next command.

• Additional time is sometimes required for response due to processing inside the projector. Set the time-out period for command response to 10 seconds or more.

Notes on projector placement and operation

The projector uses a high-wattage lamp that becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the following precautions.

1.

Never place objects on top of the projector while it is operating.

2.

Make sure there is the unobstructed space as shown below or more around the projector’s exhaust openings. In addition to this space, also ensure that there is a sufficient work space for removing and installing the lamp, filter and other parts.

3.

Make sure that nothing blocks the projector’s air intake and exhaust openings. Also, install the projector so that cool or hot air from other air conditioning equipment does not flow directly toward the projector’s air intake or exhaust openings.

4.

Do not install the projector in an enclosed space. If it is necessary to install it in an enclosed space, add a separate ventilation system. If ventilation is insufficient, hot air will accumulate at the intake opening. This may cause the projector’s protective circuit to interrupt projector operation.

200 mm (7-7/8 in) or more

500 mm (1 ft 8 in) or more

1,000 mm ( 3 ft 3 in) or more

Direction of air intake and exhaust

Operating the projector continuously

1. If the projector is to be operated continuously 12 hours or more, lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter.

2. The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is operated repeatedly for short periods (one hour or less).
