Opti-V Installation

WARNING: ANY INSTAL-

LATION AND SERVICE WORK

CAN ONLY BE PERFORMED BY

QUALIFIED AND AUTHORIZED

PERSONNEL. ALL INSTALLA-

TIONS MUST COMPLY WITH

ALL LOCAL CODES AND BY-

LAWS, AND INSPECTED AND

APPROVED FOR OPERATION

BY LOCAL GOVERNING AU-

THORITY PRIOR TO USE.

WARNING: Construction

and electrical outlet wiring must

comply with local building codes

and other applicable regulations

to reduce the risk of re, electric

shock and injury to persons.

Locating the Opti-V

The Opti-V uses an illusory reec-

tion technique and is designed

to work best when ambient light

levels are low. If the Opti-V is

installed in brightly lit areas, the

strong reections may diminish

the ame.

Depending on your specic ap-

plication, installation of the unit

at a height appropriate for the

viewers enjoyment is important. It

is recommended that the follow-

ing guidelines be used for locating

the unit.

!NOTE: Measurements are to

the bottom of the viewing area of

the ame.

For standing applications:

Maximum - 51 in. (129.5 cm)

Minimum - 26 in. (66.0 cm)

For sitting applications:

Maximum - 36 in. (91.4 cm)

Minimum - 26 in. (66.0 cm)

Hardwire Installation

The Opti-V is supplied in an as-

sembled state and is designed to

be permanently installed. The unit

comes ready for hardwire instal-

lation.

WARNING: Do not attempt

to wire your own new outlets or

circuits. To reduce the risk of re,

electric shock or injury to persons,

always use a licensed electrician.

WARNING: Ensure that the

On/Off switch is set to the Off po-

sition (refer to Operation section)

and that the circuit on which the

Opti-V is to be installed has the

power cut off at the service panel

until installation is complete.

!NOTE: Please read all instruc-

tions before installing.

1. For rough in framing, the

opening should follow the

Opti-V Installation

recommended dimensions

located in Figure 1.

!NOTE: Dimensions provided

are minimum clearances and will

vary depending on type of support

framing and nishing options.

!NOTE: Framing should be

constructed to support:

VF2927L / VFA2927 - 63 lbs (29 kg)

VF5452L - 116 lbs (52 kg)

2. Allow up to 4 ft. (121.9 cm) of

service cable for connecting

a power supply wire to the

cable clamp on the Opti-V

when installing before nish-

ing wall.

!NOTE: A 15 amp, 120 volt

alternating current (VAC) circuit

is recommended, but the unit is

constructed that it can operate

using voltages from 120-240VAC.

!NOTE: Use minimum 14 AWG

supply cable with two insulated

copper conductors (white and

black) and one bare ground wire.

tor, not included, suitable for

mounting in a ⅞ in. (22 mm)

hole, to the cable plate and

feed the supply cable through

the connector and secure.

5. Place the unit in the framed

opening, level with shims if

!NOTE: Cap any additional

wires from the power supply not

used in the installation.

9. Ensure that the green ground-

ing wire is securely attached

to the back plate.

CAUTION: Ensure the

wire connectors are securely

tightened, so no bare wires (live

or neutral) are exposed.

10. Ensure the grounding wire of

the supply cable is securely

attached to the grounding

screw.

!NOTE: The wire connections

on the Opti-V feed into a 3-prong

plug just below the electrical cav-

ity opening, before closing the

electrical cover ensure that the

plug is fully installed.

11. Reinstall the electrical cover

panel.

12. Reinstall the protector sheet

to prevent dust from entering

the unit while nishing the

surround.

13. Finish surrounding wall.

There are 3 different options

for nishing the wall:

• Permanent - install drywall

right up to the ange that sur-

rounds the opening.

• Semi Permanent - nish

around edge using ashing

material (not included)

• Flexible - create opening big

enough to access mounting

anges and a false front that

can be removed.

The mains (power) switch (Figure

Figure 2

IR Remote Sensor

2A) may be used to switch the

appliance Off ("O") when it is not

required, for example, overnight

or for long periods, to avoid un-

necessary energy use.

!NOTE: Ensure that the mains

(power) switch shall remain read-

ily operable.

The standby button " " (Figure
