CAUTION
To reduce the risk of electrocution, disconnect the power supply cable on the rear panel before removing the top cover of
the projector. For technical service refer to trained personnel authorised by the manufacturer.
LAMP WARNING
If the lamp suddenly ‘fails’ with a loud ‘pop’ Switch off the Projector & HOST and air the room thoroughly. Do not attempt
to replace the lamp yourself until the unit is inspected by an authorised SIM2 service agent.

Read all chapters of this manual carefully before switching on the projector. This manual provides basic
instructions for using the C3X Lumis HOST system. Installation, preliminary adjustments and procedures
that necessitate the removal of the top cover and contact with electrical components must be performed
by authorised, trained technicians. To ensure safe operation and long term reliability use only the power
cables supplied by the manufacturer. Observe all warnings and precautions.
ATTENTION
Due to the compact nature, high brightness and contrast of the optical system within the C3X Lumis HOST, a small amount
of light scatter may be seen outside the edges of the screen area and this effect will vary depending on the type of lens used
and the zoom and shift setting. This is a normal characteristic of the optical system. To reduce this effect SIM2 recommends
that the area surrounding the screen should be as dark as possible.
The C3X Lumis HOST is a three chip DLP™ design using three high resolution DMD's ™ (Red, Green, Blue). These three
DMD's are carefully aligned into position by a high precision process at the factory which reduces alignment errors to within
the stated tolerances.
Maximum permissible limits for the misalignment are: Screen Centre - Up to 0.7 pixel between each color. Screen Corners
Up to 2 Pixel between each color. Please Note: 1 pixel is equivalent to 10 thousandths of a millimetre on the DMD™.

Read this manual carefully.
This manual contains important information on how to install and
use this equipment correctly. Before using the equipment, read the
safety prescriptions and instructions carefully. Keep the manual for
future consultation.
Do not touch internal parts of the units.
Inside the housing there are electrical parts carrying dangerously high
voltages and parts operating at high temperature. Never open the
housing. Entrust all servicing and repair work to an authorised Service
Centre. Opening the housing voids the warranty.
Disconnecting the appliance from the power supply.
The device which disconnects the unit from the mains is the power plug.
Ensure that the power cable plugs and the electrical mains socket outlets are
easily accessible during installation operations. Pull the plug, not the cable,
to disconnect the unit from the mains. Use only the specified power supply.
Connect the units to a mains electrical supply with rated voltage of between
100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz and equipped with a protective earth connection. If
you are not sure of your domestic mains rating, contact an electrician. Take
care to avoid overloading the power socket and any extension leads.
Changing the fuses (HOST System and Projector)
C3X Lumis Host RS232 Port Connector
Before changing the fuse, disconnect the unit from the mains power
The RS232 Port placed on the projector back panel is only for service
operations. Do not use this port. For all remote applications use RS232
Port placed on HOST Connections panel.
supply. The fuse compartment is next to the power supply connector.
Remove the fuse holder with a flat head screwdriver and replace the
fuse. Fit the replacement fuse. Use only T 10A L H fuses for the projector
and FUSE
T 3,15 A H,
250V~ fuses for the HOST system.
Be careful with cables.
Make certain cables are routed so that people will not be impeded
or tripped up. Keep all cables away from children. Install the unit
as close to the wall socket as possible. Avoid stepping on power
cables, make certain they do not become tangled, and never jerk
or tug them; do not expose them to sources of heat, and make
sure they do not become knotted or crimped. If the power cables
become damaged, stop using the system and request the assist-
ance of an authorised technician.
Connection of the units to the mains power supply.
(HOST System and Projector)
Connect the unit as shown in Figure.
Disconnect the unit from the mains power during electrical storms
and when not in use.
To prevent damage from lightning strikes in the vicinity, discon-
nect the unit during storms or when the system is going to be left
unused for a long time.
Avoid contact with liquids and exposure to damp.
Do not use the unit near water (sinks, tubs, etc.); do not place
objects containing liquids on or near the units and do not expose
them to rain, humidity, drops of water or sprays; do not use water
or liquid detergent to clean them.
Do not allow the units to overheat.
To prevent overheating, allow a free space of at least 20 cm at
the back of the projector. Do not obstruct the ventilation slots. Do
not place the unit near heat sources such as heaters, radiators
or other devices (including amplifiers) that generate heat. Do not
place the unit in an area where there is insufficient space (shelving
units, bookshelves, etc.) and in general avoid placing it in poorly
ventilated areas as this may prevent sufficient cooling.
Never look directly at the projection lamp.
Never look directly at the lamp when it is on as the intense light may dam-
age your eyes. Take particular care that children cannot do so.
Take special care regarding movement of the lens.
Do not place objects in the slots on the side of the lens, and also
ensure that vertical lens movements are not imped -
ed by external objects.
Place the unit on a stable surface.
Place the projector on a stable surface or use the ceiling mounting
bracket provided. Never place the projector on its side or rear, on
the lens or top panel.
Do not insert objects through the openings in the unit.
Make sure that no objects are inserted inside the units. If this should
occur, disconnect the unit from the power supply immediately and
call an authorised technician.
Power saving.
We advise disconnecting the unit from the power supply when not in
use. In
this way you will achieve considerable power savings while at the
same time protecting internal electrical parts from wear.
! ATTENTION:
Do not switch off the HOST system via the front panel or re-
move the power without first setting the system into standby
and allowing the unit to complete the cool down sequence.
The HOST and projector are in constant communication
with each other, therefore when switching off the system,
both units must switched off together and vice versa when
powering on the system. In the event of a power outage it is
recommended to completely reset the HOST and projector.
PRODUCT DISPOSAL
This projector is fitted with a pressurised lamp contain-
ing a small amount of mercury. These lamps may be subject
to special disposal regulations due to environmental con-
siderations. For disposal or recycling information, please
contact your local authorities or, if you are located in the
USA, the Electronic Industries Alliance.
