P12T Touch-Interactive Projector Distance and Positioning Calculator
Introduction
This document provides distance calculation and positioning information for the P12 touch-interactive projector, enabling you to
determine the proper placement for the touch interactive WXGA, 16:9, and ultra-wide models of the P12 projector. It is essential
to reference the correct table for the projector model and measurement units (millimeters or inches) when placing the wall
bracket.
Note: This document is only for the touch-interactive models of the P12 projector. The distance calculation and positioning
information for the pen-interactive and non-interactive P12 models is on a separate document titled “P12 Pen-Interactive and
Non-Interactive Projector Positioning Guide.”
Projection Surface Flatness Requirement
The touch-interactivity feature requires a laser-flat projection surface with a non-planarity specification of ±0.12” (±3mm). Using a
projection surface that does not comply with this requirement will produce unsatisfactory or unreliable tracking performance.
It is very strongly recommended that the Laser Curtain Module be placed on the projection surface itself so as assure co-
planarity.
Frameless Versus Framed Whiteboards
The touch-interactive feature uses an infrared camera embedded in the projector to detect reflected infrared light generated by
the Laser Curtain Module. False positives caused by reflections from a frame surrounding the projection surface or environmental
sources of infrared can cause performance degradation.
If a framed whiteboard is used, the image must be positioned away from the frame at the distances shown in the diagram below.
A frameless whiteboard is recommended as it does not have this requirement.
Background
It is essential that the top of the projected image be positioned below the Tracking Buer
space as shown at right.
• 0.8” (20mm) for WXGA/HD
• 1.6” (40mm) for the ultra-wide 16:6
Positioning the top of the projected image starts with positioning the wall mount bracket.
The wall mount bracket will produce an image of the desired size when the top of the wall
plate is positioned at a distance “O” as on the diagram below (outlined in red dashes).
Figure 1

Positioning the Wall Bracket
The wall bracket must be positioned horizontally as shown on the diagram at right. The left edge of
the wall bracket must be 0.5” (13mm) to the right of the intended image center. If the wall bracket is
instead centered on the whiteboard, which initially seems the likely placement, the displayed image
will not be centered and proper alignment will not be possible.
Vertical positioning of the wall bracket should be determined from the relevant table below based on
the intended image size and aspect ratio.
Mounting Arms
The 27” (697mm) WallMount-P12W is the model bundled with the WXGA and 16:9 models.
The longer 33” (841mm) WallMount-P12U is the model bundled with the P12 ultra-wide model.
Example One
To produce the largest possible diagonal image at 16:10 aspect ratio on a frameless whiteboard:
• Measure the width and height of the projection surface. In this example, the measured width is 80” and the height 48”.
o Deduct 2” for the Laser Curtain Module + 0.8” for the Tracking Buer = 2.8”.
o The available height is 48” – 2.8” = 45.2”.
o The WXGA table below shows that a 45.2” height will
allow a diagonal size of 80”, which has a width of 72.1”
and leaves ≈9” of open space on the left and right.
• Determine the horizontal center of the intended image then
mark a point 0.5” (13mm) to the right of this. This mark defines
the horizontal position of the left edge of the wall bracket.
• From the WXGA table below – Distance “O” for the 85” image
is 13.5”.
• Mount the wall bracket so its top edge is that distance above
the top of where the projected image is to be positioned (which
is 2.8” below the top of the whiteboard’s projection surface).
• Attach the projector to the projector mounting bracket, leaving
the four bolts slightly loose so the projector can be adjusted
horizontally.

• Attach the mounting arm with projector to the wall bracket. Leave the four bolts that secure the arm to the wall bracket
loose so the assembly can be adjusted vertically.
• The projector’s vertical position can be adjusted using the bolt (1/2”, 13mm) at the bottom of the bracket. Tighten the bolts
on the sides once the position is finalized.
• The projector can be adjusted horizontally ≈±1/2” (6mm) by sliding it within the projector mounting bracket. Tighten the
bolts once the position is finalized.
• Proceed to the alignment stage of the process below.

Caution
1. To ensure safety, please read this manual carefully before installation and follow the instructions herein. Store
this manual in a secure place for future reference.
2. The manufacturer shall not be responsible legally for any equipment damage or personal injury caused by
incorrect installation or operation not covered in this manual.
3. The wall mount is designed for easy installation and removal. The manufacturer shall not be liable for damage
to equipment or personnel injuries arising out of human factors or acts of God.
4. The projector hanger must be installed by professional personnel.
5. At least two persons are needed to install or remove the product in order to avoid any hazard caused by
falling objects.
6. Remember to maintain ample space around the projector to ensure suitable ventilation.
7. To ensure safety and avoid any accident, it is necessary to investigate the structure of the ceiling and select
an appropriate, durable location before installation.
8. The ceiling should have load-carrying capability to sustain more than four times the total weight of the
projector and the hanger. Also, make sure it has enough strength to withstand earthquakes and other
shocks.
9. Please carefully check the areas around where the hanger is to be installed:
• Avoid any places that have high temperatures, humidity, or are subject to contact with water.
• Do not install the product near air conditioning vents and avoid places where it is dusty or fumy.
• Only install on vertical walls and avoid slanted surfaces.
• Do not install in places subject to vibrations or shocks.
• Do not install in places subject to direct exposure to bright light, as it may cause eye fatigue when
viewing the display panel.
10. Do not modify any accessory or use broken parts. Contact local distributors if you have any questions.
11. Tighten all screws (do not exert force on any screw with excess torque to avoid breaking the screw or
damaging its thread).
12. The maximum weight of the projector that the hanger can support is below 15kg (33lbs).
13. Do not hang any other objects except the projector on this hanger. Hanging on this hanger by any personnel
is strictly prohibited.
14. Drill holes and screws will be left on the wall once the projector and hanger are removed. Stains may occur
after extended use.
15. Since the manufacturer has no way to control the wall type and installation of wall mount, the warranty of the
product shall only cover the body of the wall mount. The warranty period of the product is 5 years.
16. Please consult the English language manual for any dispute on conditions.
