Important Information Digital Projection HIGHlite 6000 User Manual
General precautions
Do not open the cabinet. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Use only the power cable provided.
Ensure that the power outlet includes a Ground connection, as this
equipment MUST be earthed.
Take care to prevent small objects such as paper or wire from falling
into the projector. If this does happen, switch off immediately, and have
the objects removed by authorised service personnel.
Do not expose the projector to rain or moisture, and do not place any
liquids on top of the projector.
Unplug before cleaning, and use a damp, not wet, cloth.
Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
Do not touch the power plug during a thunder storm.
Handle the power cable carefully and avoid sharp bends. Do not use a
damaged power cable.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the lamp module. The whole
module should be replaced.
Only lamps supplied by Digital Projection and intended for this
projector should be used. Fitting any other lamp could damage both
projector and lamp, and will invalidate the warranty.
Take care when removing the lamp module.
NEVERtouchthelamporreflector.
Take care not to touch the glass surface of the lamp module. If you
do accidentally touch the glass, it should be cleaned before use. (see
section 6. Maintenance.)
Do not use the lamp for more than 2000 hours, as this may cause
serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and cause extra cost on
replacement.
HID lamps produce high intensity light. Do not look directly at the light
coming from the lamp housing, or the lens, or allow items such as
magnifying lenses to be placed in the light path. This could result in
serious eye damage.
Do not touch the ventilation outlets, as they will become hot in use.
Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation outlets or inlets.
Do not cover the lens whilst the projector is switched on. This could
causeafire
Always allow the projector to cool for 5 minutes before disconnecting
the power, moving the projector or changing the lamp.
Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinners to
clean the projector and lens.

Digital Projection HIGHlite 6000 User Manual Important Information
Installation precautions
Theprojectormustbeinstalledonlybysuitablyqualifiedpersonnel,in
accordance with local building codes.
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.
Ensure that there is at least 30cm (12in) of space between the
ventilation outlets and any wall, and 10cm (4in) on all other sides.
Do not install the projector close to anything that might be affected by
its operational heat, for instance, polystyrene ceiling tiles, curtains etc.
The projector weighs approximately 26 kg . Use safe handling
techniques when lifting the projector.
Do not stack more than three projectors.
When stacking projectors, the stack MUST be vertical, to ensure that
the stresses are distributed to all four chassis corners.
Before installation, make sure that the surface, ceiling or rigging that is
to support the projector is capable of supporting the combined weight
of all the projectors.
Backup safety chains or wires should always be used with ceiling
mount installations.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector chassis. Only the
chassis corners are capable of withstanding the weight of another
projector.
Do not drop or knock the projector.
Place the projector in a dry area away from sources of dust, moisture,
steam, smoke, sunlight or heat.
Do not tilt the projector more than ±12° in either direction when in use,
as this may cause serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and
cause extra cost on replacement.
Operationandconfigurationprecautions
Software update should NOT be carried out except by, or with the
supervision of, Digital Projection Service personnel.

Positioning the screen and projector
Optimum viewing position
Foroptimumviewing,thescreenshouldbeaflatsurfaceperpendiculartothefloor.
Thebottomofthescreenshouldbe1.2m(4feet)abovethefloorandthefrontrow
of the audience should not have to look up more than 30° to see the top of the
screen.
The distance between the front row of the audience and the screen should be at
least twice the screen height and the distance between the back row and the screen
should be a maximum of 8 times the screen height. The screen viewing area should
be within a 60° range from the face of the screen.
Notes
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.
Ensure that there is at least
30cm (12in) of space between
the ventilation outlets and
any wall, and 10cm (4in) on
all other sides.
Do not install the projector
close to anything that
might be affected by its
operational heat, for instance,
polystyrene ceiling tiles,
curtains etc.

Calculating screen width and throw distance
Throw Distance = Screen Width x Lens Throw Ratio
Screen Width = Throw Distance
Lens Throw Ratio
The following lenses are available.
Throw Ratio Focus range
Fixed lens 0.77:1 1.3 - 2.45m
Fixed lens 1.16:1 1.4 - 6.2m
Zoom lens 1.45–1.74:1 zoom 1.8 - 9.3m
Zoom lens 1.74–2.17:1 zoom 2.2 - 11.8m (standard lens)
Zoom lens 2.17–2.90:1 zoom 2.7 - 15.4m
Zoom lens 2.90 - 4.34:1 zoom 3.6 - 22.5m
Zoom lens 4.34–6.76:1 zoom 5.5 - 35m
ThesethrowratiosarecorrectforimagesthatfillthefullwidthoftheDMD.For
imagesthatdonotfillthefullwidth,thethrowratiowillbelarger.For4:3images,
the throw ratio is increased by a factor of 1.33. The effect of this can be seen on
the lens charts on the following pages.
Rev A October 2010 Page 2.3
Digital Projection HIGHlite 6000 User Manual 2. Installation
Screen size vs throw distance
Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the
screen. This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines
whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with the desired
screen size, and if your image will be the right size for your screen.
Notes
Do not confuse the focus range
with the zoom range:
The focus range is the distanc
e over which the image can be
focused .
The zoom range is the range
over which the throw ratio can
be changed using the zoom
control.
