Unpacking the Projector
To unpack the projector, first release the two fastening clips and remove the
banding. Next, using the finger holes provided, gently lift off the outer cover of the
carton.

tor, one at each corner using the handrail provided. The purchaser is reminded to
use good practice in lifting the projector to avoid risk of back injury.
All packaging should be retained to provide maximum protection during future
shipping of the projector. To repack the projector, reverse the above procedure.
Contained within the packaging will be:
1 x LIGHTNING display Projector 1 x Remote Control Unit
1 x Handrail (attached) 1 x Remote Control Cable
4 x Mounting Feet (attached) 1 x AC Power Cable

Compliance with Regulatory Bodies
The LIGHTNING 8gv, LIGHTNING 22gv, LIGHTNING 22sx, LIGHTNING
25sx and LIGHTNING 28sx have been designed to comply with IEC950 and UL
1950 (formal UL approval in process), the International safety standards for infor-
mation technology and electrical business equipment. These standards impose strin-
gent safety requirements on the construction and operation to prevent energy haz-
ards, access to live parts and the risk of electric shock. The safety standards also
provide regulations on internal and external temperature increases, radiation levels,
mechanical stability and strength, enclosure construction and fire protection.
The LIGHTNING 8gv, LIGHTNING 22gv, LIGHTNING 22sx, LIGHTNING
25sx and LIGHTNING 28sx have been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a class A digital device, pursuant with Part 15 of the Federal Communication
Commission rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial envi-
ronment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a res-
idential area may cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be respon-
sible for correcting any interference.

Safety Advice

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 pro-
jector.
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.
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 on its side with
the lamp pointing upwards when viewed from the rear
To avoid possible damage to the prism, lens and lent mount, a lens adapter must
by used if using POWER gv lenses on a LIGHTNING sx projector.
Never mount the projector near air conditioning or heating ducts, electrical
wiring or any materials which could be affected by the projector's operational
heat i.e. polystyrene ceiling tiles etc.
Never locate the projector where a laser beam may enter the lens, or fall on the
light engine otherwise catastrophic damage will result.
A—3
Overview
OVERVIEW
LBV00056; Revision C - 01/03/03

To prevent contamination of internal optical surfaces, never locate the projector
near any chemical or oil-based smoke machines or where smoke may enter the
projector.
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 it's 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 top 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.
9. Power down the projector and disconnect from the mains supply.
10. Continue with the system installation.

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.
