16 R5906113 UDX 07/07/20172. Installation preparations2.1 Installation requirementsEnvironment conditionsTable below summarizes the physical environment in which the UDX may be safely operated or stored.Environment Operating Non-OperatingAmbient Temperature 0°C (32°F) to 40 °C (104 °F) -15°C (5°F) to 60°C (140°F)Humidity 0% RH to 80% RH Non-condensed 0% RH to 90% RH Non-CondensedAltitude -60 m (-197 Ft) to 3000 m (9843Ft) -60 m (-197 Ft) to 10000 m (32810 Ft)Let the projector acclimatize after unpacking. Neglecting this may result in a startup failure of the Light Pro-cessor Unit.Cooling requirementsThe projector is fan cooled and must be installed with sufficient space around the projector front, minimum 10 cm (4 in) to ensuresufficient air flow. It should be used in an area where the ambient temperature, as measured at the projector air inlets , does notexceed +40°C (+104°F).Make sure to not install the backside of the projector near walls or other solid objects. Make sure there is a minimum distance of 60cm (23.6 in) between the air outlets on the backside and the nearest solid object. If mounted too close to a solid object, the hot airfrom the air outlets may find its way back into the air inlets on the Light Source side of the projector, which will rapidly increase thetemperature inside the projector.Image 2-1Since the projector is foreseen to be stacked while in the rigging frame, the minimum distance space aroundthe top and bottom air inlets should be the distance between two stacked projectors while in the rigging frame.Clean air environmentA projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free flow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets. Forinstallations in environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke machines orsimilar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degradingperformance), then it is highly advisable and desirable to have this contamination removed prior to it reaching the projectors cleanair supply. Devices or structures to extract or shield contaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not afeasible solution then measures to relocate the projector to a clean air environment should be considered.Only ever use the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, neveruse industrial strength cleaners on the projector’s optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronicscomponents. Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contam-inants will culminate in extensive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units willbe noneffective and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufacturer’s warrantyand may deem the warranty null and void. In such a case the client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during anyrepair. It is the clients responsibility to ensure at all times that the projector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborneparticles in the environment of the projector. The manufacturer reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject toknowingly neglect, abandon or improper use.Main Power requirementsThe UDX operates from a nominal mono phase power net with a separate earth ground PE.
