space requirements also apply to installation where only one projector unit is operating at one time and the
other unit is used as a backup.
• If the projector is placed in a box or enclosure, the temperature of the air surrounding the projector
must match the operating temperature listed in the specifications table during use. Also, make sure the
projector’s intake and exhaust openings are not blocked. Ensure there is sufficient ventilation to prevent
hot air from the exhaust openings being recirculated into the intake opening.
