CHAPTER 3. ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION AND 1. INSTALLATION CONDITIONS (1) Weight-tolerant The ground must be flat and horizontal. It should be able to bear the weight of the system. For wooden floors, if the part receiving the weight of the system lies at the center between the reinforcement beams below the floor, the floor may become deformed or may curve inwards. In such cases, lay a more than 12 mm thick board below the system to distribute the weight of the system on the floor.
INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY (6) Installation work for mounting on rack ¶ Blocking the front and back will cause heat to accumulate, which may result in malfunctions. ¶ Use a rack which can bear the weight of the system. ¶ Take measures to ensure that the system does not turn over. Always have experienced technicians or your dealer implement these measures. (7) Temperature and Humidity Conditions ¶ Closely observe the following conditions on the temperature and humidity of the location of installation.
INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY (9) Angle of view and appropriate view range Vertical Visible Angle (Fig.3-1) Horizontal Visible Angle (Fig.
INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY (10) Lighting ¶ Although reflection by external light as seen on CRTs will not occur with this projection screen, reflection may result when strong light such as spot light is directed at the screen. Therefore, make sure that the screens are not exposed to direct spotlight. ¶ For certain installation location conditions, a glass sheet may have to be attached to the screen surface. In this case, as there will be reflection by external light, consider the installation position, etc.
INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY (12) Power Supply 1 Power supply voltage The guaranteed voltage of this system is ±10% of the rated voltage. But if the impedance of the power wires is high, the voltage waveform will become distorted and show the same symptoms as when voltage drops abnormally. As the following must be noted even if the voltage is within the allowable range, check the power wiring again. ¶ The voltage drop from the switchboard to this system is great.
INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY (13) Cables Used Use a coaxial cable for the external input cable. Normally use a 3C-2V for less than 15m long. Use 5C-2V for greater lengths. Adjust the length of the cables. The distance between the transmission system and MPJ should be as short as possible. When the distance is great, consider the thickness of the cable and electrical compensation carefully. The limit is as shown when using the cables to connect the transmission final output terminal and the system.
