DigitalProjection E-Vision Laser15000 Series Installation Precautions
Installation Precautions
The projector must be installed only by suitably qualified personnel, in accordance with local building codes.
The projector is heavy. Use safe handling techniques when lifting the projector.
Do not drop or knock the projector.
Do not install the projector close to anything that might be affected by its operational heat, for instance, polystyrene ceiling tiles, curtains etc.
Place the projector in a dry area away from sources of dust, moisture, steam, smoke, sunlight or heat.
Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent.
When operating the projector in an enclosed space, ensure that the surrounding air temperature within the enclosure does not exceed operation
temperature while the projector is running, and the air intake and exhaust vents are unobstructed.
All enclosures should pass a certified thermal evaluation to ensure that the projector does not recycle exhaust air, as this may cause the device to
shutdown even if the enclosure temperature is with the acceptable operation temperature range.
Avoid installing at high temperature, insufficient cooling and heavy dust locations.
Keep your product away from fluorescent lamps (>1 Meter) to avoid malfunction caused by IR interference.
Avoid installing near an air conditioner duct or a subwoofer.
The projector should be installed as close to the power outlet as possible.
The power connection should be easily accessible, so that it can be disconnected in an emergency.
Please pay attention to projector installation with respect to other staging laser light equipment set-up. These systems can cause permanent
damage to the DMD imaging devices used in our projectors. This damage is not covered by our warranty.
When using projectors in environments with third party high power laser systems avoid direct laser beams pointing towards the projection lens.
This may cause incident light to converge into the optical engine and cause damage to the DLP DMD.
Before installation, make sure that the surface, ceiling or rigging that is to support the projector is capable of supporting the combined weight of
the projector and lens.
Backup safety chains or wires should always be used with ceiling mount installations.
When installing a ceiling mount, make sure the weight limit is not exceeded and the projector is firmly secured.
The projector can be operated any position, as shown in the diagram:

Make sure the lens cap is removed from the lens before operating the projector. Light energy levels have been known to cause damage to both the
lens and projector optics. This damage is not covered by our warranty.
Make sure the lens cap is removed from the rear of the lens before it is inserted into the projector.
Connect the LAN cable only to a computer LAN connection. Other similar connectors may have a dangerously high voltage source.
Installation & QuickStartGuide Rev B April2021
page 17
Notes

DigitalProjection E-Vision Laser15000 Series Installation Precautions
A VGA IN connector should be used to connect to the VGA IN port on the projector. It should be inserted tightly, with the screws on both sides
securely fastened to ensure proper connection of the signal wire for achieving optimal display effect.
The power cord and signal cable should be connected before the projector is powered on. During startup and operation, DO NOT insert or remove
the signal cable or the power cord to avoid damaging the projector.
Turn on High Fan Speed Mode when located in high altitude areas.
The projector generates heat during use. The internal fans dissipate the heat of the projector when shutting down, which could continue for a
certain period. After the projector enters STANDBY MODE, remove the power cord. DO NOT remove the power cord during shutdown as it may
cause damage to the projector and may affect the service life of the projector.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector chassis.

Please consult with a qualified professional to install or remove the lens.
FDA regulations require that a lens hood is permanently fitted when using the 3.58-5.38:1 lens or the 5.31-8.26:1 lens with the projector in the
United States of America. Fitting can be provided by your reseller or System Integrator.
Light Hazard Warning
No direct exposure to the beam is permitted, RG3 IEC 62471-5:2015.
Operators should control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the projector at sufficient height to prevent exposures of spectators’ eyes within the hazard area.
When the laser is installed overhead, allow a minimum of 3m between the floor surface and the Risk Group 3 area.
Light Hazard Distance and Hazard Zone
Operators should control
access to the beam within the
hazard distance or install the
projector at sufficient height to
prevent exposures of
spectators’ eyes within the
hazard area.
When the laser is installed
