6 INSTALLATION
POSITIONING THE 2 UNITS
The C3X Lumis HOST system is made up of two separate
units (HOST and C3X Lumis projector), each of which have
a power cable and are connected to each other by a 20 m
long optical fibre cable. Ideally, the HOST system should be
placed on the top of a cabinet. Make sure that the surface it
stands on is stable and that there is sufficient space around
it to permit good ventillation (at least 3 cm). Place the pro-
jector on a stable surface or use the optional ceiling mount
bracket.
! WARNING: When using the ceiling mount bracket, the
safety instructions provided with the bracket must be strictly
observed. Placed the projector at the desired distance from
the screen: the size of the projected image depends upon
the distance between the lens and the screen and the zoom
setting. See the APP.1 for further details.
CONNECTING THE TWO UNITS
The connection between the two units is made with a single
cable containing three fibre optic cables each terminating in
an LC connector. The standard cable length of 20 m will be
sufficient for most installation requirements.
During installation of the fibre optic cable:
The individual optical cables are delicate: always handle •
the main cable without touching the individual optical
cables. Never pull the individual optical cables or con-
nectors; if necessary, you may pull the main three-core
cable.
Only remove the cap protecting the connector ferrule •
immediately before inserting the connector; if the ferrule
is allowed to come into contact with foreign material it
may be damaged, making the connector unusable.
Take particular care when inserting fibre optic connec- •
tors in their respective sockets on the rear panel of the
HOST system and on the back of the Projector.
Make sure that the single optical cables are not switched: •
the numbers on the cables must match the numbers on
the connectors.
Check that the connectors are correctly inserted. •
Make sure that the cable does not constitute an obsta- •
cle for persons moving around the room.
Take care not to create knots in the cable; the minimum •
radius of bends in the cable is 2 cm.
Prevent the cable from pulling and mechanical stress: •
this could cause the connectors to be pulled out and •
damaged.
After removing the protective caps from the fibre optic cable
connectors and the panel connectors, insert the fibre optic
connectors carefully, matching the numbers shown on each
element. Be very carefully when handling fibre optics and
connectors.
