SAFETY INFORMATION

Read the following security information carefully before performing any operations. The product described in this manual is an outdoor protective case for video projectors.
Any other use is not provided by the manufacturer and therefore relieves him of any liability for damages arising from misuse.
Be sure to securely attach the protective case to an architectural element that ensures its stability and reliability. All elements used for installation (screws, bolts, brackets, etc.) must always be adjusted to the load they need to support.
Use an M12 bolt with a self-locking nut and use a security chain in the event of a suspended installation.
The protective case should always be connected to the power supply even when the video projector inside is turned off. This ensures constant ventilation during hot days or maintaining a warmer temperature on cold days, ensuring that the projector works properly.
For proper use, before using the protective case, read carefully the instruction manual of the video projector that you plan to install inside. The minimum temperature sustained by the protective case is -25 °C. The maximum temperature supported is 5°C lower than the maximum operating temperature shown in your projector’s instruction manual.
e.g. A video projector with an operating temperature from 0°C to 45°C —> operating temperature insured by the protective case: from -25°C to 40°C.
Do not place objects on the power cable and in case of damage to the manufacturer for replacement in order to avoid dangers of electrocution.
The only maintenance operation allowed in warranty is the replacement of the filters. Any other repairs must be carried out solely by the manufacturer, who denies any responsibility for unauthorized interventions.
Air intakes should never be covered or clogged with any material. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation to the case to protect it from overheating. The protective case should not be placed in a closed installation or in a compartment that is too small and without enough ventilation.
Never touch the protective case and all its components with wet hands. Never place the protective case on flammable and/or combustible surfaces.

DIMENSIONS

VENTILATION SYSTEM

The air enters in the case at outdoor ambient temperature (TINLET AIR) from the filterequipped air intakes located at the bottom of the case.
The temperature inside the protective case is measured by a probe that:
– when the temperature rises above a certain value drives the fan;
– when the temperature drops below a certain value drives the heating system.
The air enters in the case at outdoor ambient temperature, it’s mixed with the temperature inside T1 and is finally ejected on the back of the case at temperature T2 (T2 > T1).
The rear fan of the protective case is necessary to extract the hot air emitted by the projector. The fan in front of the protective case (in the bottom) injects air to cool it down.
Air intakes should never be covered or clogged with any material. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation to the case to protect it from overheating. The protective case should not be placed in a closed installation or in a compartment that is too small and without enough ventilation.

USAGE INSTRUCTION

CASE TILT ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the inclination of the protective case according to the instructions of the manual of use of the installed projector video.
The case can be tilted no more than 40 degrees up or 30 degrees down relative to the horizontal plane. Contact Proietta Support in case you need to tilt it more.

WARNING: Never unscrew the bolt (A) shown in the figure because it keeps the case assembled to the support bracket.

HANGING INSTALLATION

The protective case must always be installed with filters facing the ground; it doesn’t have to be installed upside down.
Even in this type of installation the case can be tilted no more than the measures written on the side panel.
CORRECT POSITIONING

INSTALLATION IN PORTRAIT FORMAT

It is not possible to install the protective case sideways, as shown in the figure.
Contact Proietta Support for installations that require vertical positioning (portrait format) of the video projector.

POWER CONNECTION
Connect your case to the current according to the security rules currently in force in your country/region.
The supply voltage must be: 220-240VAC 50/60Hz and the supply line must be protected by an efficient grounding link and is equipped with a bipolar switch with differential thermal 0.03 A safety.
For safety reasons it’s essential to leave the film applied on top of the glass to avoid the fall of dangerous pieces of glass in case of rupture. Cut only the area affected by the projection beam.

FIXING THE VIDEO PROJECTOR

Take as a reference the video projector fastening holes by helping with the semitransparent paper; mark the placement of the holes in the projector screws.
Remove Plate A from the main one, mark the holes onto plate A from the paper and drill according to the diameter of the screws of your video projector.
On the opposite side of PLATE A use a countersink (1) to create a hole to insert a flatheaded conical screw.
Attach the video projector to Plate A using the appropriate screws (2) for your video projector (choose flat conical head screws) and insert both into the case. Loose the knobs to adjust the tilt of the case, then established them again to lock the desired position.

A) Ring to lock the video projector.
B) Ring to lock the video projector to an architectural element. Externally located in the same place of the ring to lock the protective enclosure.
C) multiple socket to power the projector video, the player/accessories and the ventilation system.

CABLE INPUT BELOW THE CASE
Place the signal cables in the appropriate input below the case and make sure to establish the press to prevent water from entering.

MAINTENANCE

FILTERS AND SEALS
It’s important to keep the intake filter clean for good ventilation, otherwise it may be inefficient and as a result the lamp may last less than stated and the projector may get damaged or stop working unexpectedly.
Clean the filters frequently, their replacement depends on the environment in which the protective case is placed.Check the seals regularly.
If the seals are damaged, do not use the protective case because the water could enter inside the case and damage the video projector causing an electric shock.

CAUSE AND SOLUTIONS OF POSSIBLE PROBLEMS

VENTILATION SYSTEM
To test the ventilation system, heat the probe A (see the first picture) to act on the operation of the fan.
HEATING SYSTEM
The product has a heating system that keeps the temperature at least 5°C inside the protective case even when the projector is turned off.
To test it, it’s necessary to point compressed air about 5 cm of distance from the B probe (see the second picture). Then the second fan will act by emitting hot air, otherwise do not use the product on days with temperatures below 5°C (41°F).
Both operating signals can be monitored by the application provided by Proietta under the heading Status. You should contact the Proietta Support in case you have the following error messages:
-TC INT ERROR (internal temperature sensor anomaly)
-TC EXT ERROR (external temperature sensor anomaly)
Other messages that can be reported in Status:
– OK-RUN the device is working properly
– LOW CPU VOLTAGE
– HIGH CPU VOLTAGE
– HUMIDITY ERROR (humidity sensor anomaly)
– TC INT ERROR (internal temperature sensor anomaly)
– TC EXT ERROR (external temperature sensor anomaly)
