Fig. 2
LINE INPUT
• Ve
If the power socket is not equipped with an earth pin, call
your electrician who will install it and ensure its efficiency.
To disconnect the cable pull it out with the plug.
Do not pull the cable itself.
If you use an extension lead, make sure its rating is over
3A and is equipped with an earth wire.
2.3 Servicing
Servicing must be carried out by qualified technicians.
Do not attempt to service the projector without the proper
technical knowledge. Opening the projector can expose
personnel to potential hazards: high voltage and electric
shock.
Unplug the mains cable and call for qualified service
technicians in the following cases:
- when the power cable or plug is damaged
- when liquids are spilled on the projector.
- when rain or water has got inside the projector.
- when the projector is not working properly regardless
of the fact the instructions for use have been followed
correctly
- when the projector has fallen and/or its casing is
damaged (broken).
- when there are noticeable variations in performance that
cannot be corrected with the normal user controls.
Note: Modify only those parameters shown in the user’s
section of the instruction manual. If parameters or controls
are modified that are not shown in the manual a
realignment of the projector might become necessary and
qualified service personnel might have to be called in.
2.4 Spare parts

2.5 Cleaning the projector
When we speak about projector cleaning we mean the
outside of it. NO internal cleaning is necessary.
- Before you start cleaning the projector take the plug out
of the mains.
- Do not use liquid or spray detergents.
- Stubborn stains can be removed with a cloth lightly
dampened with mild detergent solution.
- Never use strong solvents such as thinners, petrol,
acetone or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the
projector’s paint.
- Avoid touching the lenses with your fingers, which would
leave marks. Clean them as you would any ordinary
photographic lens since they have an anti-reflection
coating (use special lens cleaning paper or special
photographic lens cloth with care).
Note: After 2000 hours working time it is essential to clean
the outside of the lenses with a soft cloth to avoid
scratching them.
Don’t forget to cover the lenses when the projector is not
going to be used for a long time.
2.6 Packing the Projector
For the best protection pack the projector as it was
originally packed at the factory.
For air freight shipping use metal or plastic straps to secure
the box.
Always keep the original packing for any future necessity,
such as moving or servicing the projector.
2.7 Room lighting
To get the best quality of the projected pictures the room
should be reasonably dark. Limit, as much as possible,
direct light onto the screen and position it, should the
projection room be lighted,in a shadowy area. If possible,
make sure that ceiling, walls and floor are dark and not
reflecting.
2.8 Back panel
See Fig. 3

2.9 Cathode-ray tube phosphor
burning
One of the possible causes for burning could be when a
static image of a computer or video recorder signal is
projected for more than an hour.
The static image remains impressed on the screen even
when the signal changes.
Whenever it is necessary to visualise a static image for
more than one hour lower the contrast as much as possible
(CONTR key).
The same problem arises when visualising an image in a
different format for a long time. The smaller picture could
remain impressed on the screen (for instance, visualising
a 16:9 image on a 4:3 screen or vice versa). In this case
we suggest reducing the contrast of the small picture as
much as possible. These measures will reduce the risk of
CRT phosphor burning. If possible, always use the same
picture size.
Read the warranty enclosed with the product and
consult your dealer or qualified personnel.

4.1 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Qualified personnel must carefully observe the
installation procedure to install the projector and to
ensure best performances.
Note: The projector is factory-set for front ceiling projection
with a 90” screen, 4/3 format and a projector-screen
distance of 265 cm.
1. Choose the installation type and read the
instructions through carefully. Determine the
distance between the screen and the front of the
projector.
Determine the projection angle.
2. Remove the top and front projector covers.
3. Insert the correct spacers between lenses and
tubes.
4. Prepare and install the screen.
5. Install the projector on the floor or on the ceiling
and center the screen, maintaining the factory
deflection settings.
6. Focus carefully by adjusting the lenses.
7. If the installation type is the same as the factory
setting, go to step 11, otherwise continue.
8. Tilt the red and blue tubes until the three crosses
are superimposed.
9. Adjust the magnets.
10. Switch the projector off and disconnect the power
cable.
11. Put the cover on the video projector.

- Measure the screen diagonal and take the nearest
value from the table.
- Calculate the ratio between the table value and the
relative width.
- Multiply the value obtained by the actual screen width.
Example: Suppose we have a 105” screen diagonal. 100”
is the nearest value in the table.
Ihe A/Width ratio is equal to304:293.2=1,49.
A 105” screen diagonal is 213.3 wide.
So, the value of A is: 1,49x213,3=317.8 cm.
4.3.3 Desktop rear projection
For rear projection we recommend installing the projector
with the axis of the green lens orthogonal to the screen
plane; pay attention that the green lens be centered with
respect to the screen.
By using Fresnel lenses for rear projection, it is mandatory
to install the projector orthogonal to the centre of the
screen to achieve maximum brightness and a better per-
formance.
4.3.2 Desk-top front projection
Correct use of the spacers, as shown in the spacer tables,
is mandatory for a perfect focus uniformity. Check that
the projector is perfectly stable.
The projector bottom must be parallel with the floor
A = Distance between the front panel and the screen
B = Distance between the projector’s desktop line and
screen centre.
Note: The screen size refers to the usable area (4/3
format).
When installing the projector, it is recommended to
increase by 5 cm the distance from the screen as indicated
in the table. The picture adjustment can be carried out
later through the deflection menu.
A greater distance produces a picture slightly bigger than
the screen, its dimension can be reduced during
installation by means of the deflection menu.
If the size of the screen diagonal is not given in the table,
dimension A(in cm) is determined as follows:

- If the measurement of the screen diagonal is not in
the table, Ccan be determined (in cm) as follows.
- Measure the screen diagonal and take the nearest
value from the table.
- Calculate the ratio between value Cand screen width
in the table.
- Multiply the result by the actual screen width.
Example: Suppose we have a 105”screen diagonal. 100”
is the nearest value in the table.
Ihe C/Width ratio is equal to :305/203.2=1,5.
A105”screen diagonal is 213.3 wide.
So, the value of C is: 1,5x213,3=320 cm.
Note: The screen size refers to the useful area (4/3

4.5 Spacers
The projector uses some spacers for the “Scheimpflug”
correction of the lenses’ angle so as to achieve a perfect
focusing uniformity over the entire screen surface.
The projector is factory set with spacers for a ceiling front
installation with a 90” screen diagonal.
The projector is equipped with a complete set of optional
spacers for screens ranging from 60” up to 300”.
The spacers are mounted between the lenses and the
assembling block surface where they are fixed with 4
screws.
More than one spacer might be needed to achieve proper
adjustment.
Lorrect use of the spacers , as shown in the tables, is of
paramount importance for perfect focus uniformity.

4.3.5 Ceiling rear projection
Rear projection installation is done by hanging the
projector on the ceiling and following the instructions given
for front installation.
4.4 Projection angle measurement
Use a goniometer to determine the projection angle. First
of all, remove the projector’s top cover and then use the
surface shown in the figure as reference for the
goniometer.
The reference surface has an angle of 12 degrees
compared to the projector’s base when it is perfectly level.

4.5.1. Spacers changing
To change the spacers first of all remove the top cover
and front panel.
Now slightly loosen the 4 screws (A) for each tube, change
the spacers (B) (see the spacers table) and then tighten
the screws.
You can only see two screws in the figure because the
other two are under the projection tube.
For the different installation types there are different spacer
combinations that have to be mounted.
Note: The spacers have their thickness value expressed
in millimetres and printed on them.
The following pieces are included with the projector:
0,2 mm: 6 pieces
0,3 mm: 6 pieces
0,5 mm: 4 pieces
1 mm: 6 pieces
2 mm: 4 pieces
The 1mm (6 pieces), 0.3 mm (4 pieces) spacers are used
for the factory setting (90” 14°), while the others are inside
the pack.
Note: The angle between the base of the projector and the
axis of the tubes is mechanically fixed at 12°; so, if
the projector is installed on a perfectly horizontal table
or ceiling, projection angle will be 12°.
The figure shows where to install the spacers with the
values given in the following table.
