The
latest view from the front. The lighted glass block stairs are
complete.
The
200amp panel will be close to full after the additional circuits are
added. (3) dedicated 20amp home runs were run to the audio/video
equipment rack. (1) dedicated 15amp home run was run to the projector.
They will all be connected to 1 leg of the 220volt bus bar to prevent
ground loops (60hz humm)
In
one rear corner of the theater there will be a small media rack. The
mass of wires on the rear wall will be connect to a Lutron Graphic Eye
2104 with remote for lighting control and dimming. It will be relocated
into a column that will be built out of the wall at that location. You
can see all the cat5/RG6/security runs that are going upstairs also.
Step
close up. Low voltage lighting is
used to illuminate the stair tread. This will be on a seperate dimmer.
The
odd space on the wall is reserved
for the Middle Atlanic equipment rack. This will go through the wall and
be flush with the theater side. All equipment will be accessible in the
equipment room from the back. The rack is flanked by (3) seperate home
runned 30amp circuits.
A
view of the projector mounting area. The outlet on the left is
for the NEC XG135lc projector which has its power cord in front. Another
outlet is in the rear for powering the thermostat for the ventilation
system. The adjacent outlet is a line run to the fan location. This will
be powered by the thermostat. The duct on the right is the ventilation
for the projector hushbox. 6" insulated flexible duct run into the
equipment room. With a 250 cfm fan ( I don't believe the rating) noise
is minimal as it is.
This
is the duct in the equipment room. You can also see the conduit run for
any future projector wiring.
The
duct then goes to a storage area where the
heat is expelled.
