PT-DW100
3-Chip DLP™ Projector
As of October 2008 < 12 >
The projector uses a high-wattage lamp that becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the
following precautions.
1. Never place objects on top of the projector while it is operating.
2. Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 500 mm (19-11/16˝) or more around the projector’s
exhaust openings.
3. Do not stack projector units directly on top of one another for the purpose of multiple (stacked)
projection. When stacking projector units, be sure to provide the amount of space indicated below
between them. These space requirements also apply to installations where only one projector unit
is operating at one time and the other unit is used as a backup.
4. If the projector is placed in a box or enclosure, ensure the temperature of the air surrounding the
projector is between 0°C/32°F and 40°C/104°F. Also make sure the projector’s intake and exhaust
openings are not blocked. Take particular care to ensure that hot air from the exhaust openings is
not sucked into the intake openings.

Operating the Projector Continuously
1. If the projector is to be operated continuously 24 hours, use the lamp relay mode. The projector cannot
be operated continuously 24 hours in quad-lamp mode. Allow a minimum of two hours per day of non-
operation time if the projector is to be operated continuously more than 22 hours.
2. The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is operated repeatedly for short
periods.
