5 2. Safety The functions and workmanship quality of this unit were tested at the factory. It complies strictly to the following European Guidelines: • Guideline 89/336 EEC of 3. May 1989 ”Guideline of the Council of 3. May 1989 for bringing into line the statutory regulations of the member countries about electromagnetic side-effects.
6 • Make sure the LOCPRO 35 stands securely and do not block the air vents of the HTI lamp cooling fan on the bottom side! See ➪ photo page 9. • Keep all inflammable material away from the air vents of the HTI lamp cooling fan. see ➪ photo page 9.
7 3. General Product Information The LOCPRO 35 is a lightweight mobile projector for on- location use. A switch-over mirror system allows either wall projection or the use of a 1/3” CCD Color High Resolution video camera. The LOCPRO 35 can synchronize DAT-re- corders or perfotape players for picture/sound synchronization.
8 • Excellent image quality with flicker-free projection: Best possible image brightness, excellent picture steadi- ness and image quality are the outstanding features of the LOCPRO 35. The 400 W HTI lamp allows optimum projection of more than 6 ft (2 m) image width and an average color temperature of 5.
