Connection Figure
Connecting Multiple Projectors
If interactive pen operations interfere with projectors that have been installed nearby, connect the projectors
by using the optional remote control cable set (ELPKC28).
You can reduce the interference caused by the interactive pen by setting Installation of Projectors > Sync
of Projectors to Wired from the Pen/Touch menu after connecting.

Installing the Wall mount
12
Cautions on Installing the Wall Mount
Warning
The Wall mount is exclusively for mounting the projector on a wall. If anything other than
a projector is mounted, the weight may result in damage.
If this product falls, it could cause death or personal injury.
The installation work (wall mounting) should be performed by specialists who have tech‐
nical knowledge and ability. Incomplete or incorrect installation could cause the product
to fall and cause personal injury or property damage.
Follow the steps in this guide to install the Wall mount, and be sure to use the bolts and
screws specified in this guide.
If the instructions are not followed, this product may fall, resulting in personal injury or an accident.
Handle the power cord carefully.
Incorrect handling may cause fire or electric shock. Observe the following precautions when han‐
dling:

Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.

Do not use a power cord that is damaged or modified.

Do not pull the power cord with too much force when routing the cable through the setting plate.
Do not install the setting plate in a place where it might be subjected to vibration or shock.
This could cause damage to the projector or mounting surface. If this product falls, it could cause
death or personal injury.
When installing on a wall, install so that it can sufficiently support the mass of the projector
and the Wall mount and resist any horizontal vibration. Use M10 or 3/8 inch x 60 mm nuts
and bolts.
Nuts and bolts smaller than M10 or 3/8 inch x 60 mm could cause the setting plate to fall. Epson
accepts no responsibility for any damage or injury caused by lack of wall strength or inadequate
installation.
The installation work should be performed by at least two qualified service personnel. If
you need to loosen any screws during installation, be careful not to drop this product.
If this product falls, it could cause death or personal injury.
When installing this product on a wall, the wall requires enough strength to hold the pro‐
jector and the Wall mount.
This product should be installed on a concrete wall.
The maximum combined weight of the projector and the Wall mount is approximately 18.7kg (not
including cables).
Ensure the strength of the wall before mounting this product on the wall. If the wall is not strong
enough, reinforce the wall before installation.
When installing the EB-1480Fi on a wall, use the wall mount supplied or the ELPMB62.
If you use a mount not specified in this manual, the projector cannot be installed correctly and the
projector may fall or the installation surface may be damaged.

Installing the Wall mount
13
Warning
Inspect the setting plate on a regular basis to ensure there are no broken parts or loose
screws.
If any parts are damaged, stop using the setting plate immediately. If this product falls, it could
cause death or personal injury.
Do not disassemble or remodel this product.
There are numerous high-voltage sections inside the product that could cause a fire, electric shock,
or an accident.
Do not hang on this product. Do not hang heavy objects on this product.
If this product falls, it could cause death or personal injury.
Do not use adhesives, lubricants, or oils to install or adjust the Wall mount.
If you use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening or things such as lubricants or oils on
the slide plate fixing part of the projector, the case may crack and cause the projector to fall,
resulting in personal injury or property damage.
Tighten all screws firmly after adjustment.
Otherwise, the product may fall and cause personal injury or property damage.
Never loosen the bolts and nuts after installation.
Confirm that the screws have not become loose on a regular basis. If you find any loose screws,
tighten them firmly. Otherwise, the product may falland cause personal injury or property damage.
Route the cables so that they are not interfered with the nuts and bolts.
Incorrect handling of the cables may cause fire or electric shock.
When turning on the projector, do not look into the projection lens.
This could cause damage to eyesight due to the powerful light emitted. Take particular care when
there are children present. When turning on the projector at a distance using the remote control,
make sure there is no one looking into the projection lens.
When using the projector, do not place any objects or put your hand near the projection
lens.
This area is dangerous as it reaches a high temperature due to the concentrated projection light.
Do not use the projector in a location subject to combustible or explosive gas.
High temperatures within the projector may cause ignition and a fire to occur.
Only a specialist should remove or reinstall the projector, including for maintenance and
repairs.
See the projector's User's Guide for instructions on maintenance and repairs.
If any abnormalities occur with this product, immediately disconnect the cables from the
product, and then contact your local dealer or the nearest Epson service call center.
Continuing to use the product in an abnormal condition could cause a fire, electric shock, or visual
impairment.

Cautions on the Installation Location of the
Wall Mount
Warning
Do not install in a location subject to oily smoke or smoke for events.
If oils and so on stick to the slide plate fixing part of the projector, the case may crack and cause
the projector to fall, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
Caution
Do not install the projector or the screen in a location subject to direct sunlight.
If the projector or the screen are subject to direct sunlight, the interactive function may not operate
correctly.
Carry out power supply wiring work at the installation location of the projector in advance.
Install the projector away from other electric devices such as fluorescent lights or air con‐
ditioners.
Some types of fluorescent lights could interfere with the remote control or the pen.
When installing the projector, make sure there is a gap between the wall and the projector's
air exhaust and intake vents as shown in the following image.
When installing two or more projectors in parallel, make sure the temperature of the sur‐
rounding environment is less than 35°C.
If the environment is too hot, the projector may overheat and the power may turn off without
warning.

Installing the Wall mount
17
Caution
When installing two or more projectors in parallel, leave a gap of at least 1,200 mm between
the projectors.
1200mm
If you cannot secure a gap of approx. 1,200 mm, install a partition to block the heat vented from
the projector's air exhaust vent.
The partitions should be larger than the exhaust vent (approx. 20 mm in all directions), and installed
approximately 400 mm from the exhaust vent and 200 mm from the intake vents.
400mm 200mm
Install and adjust the projector at a room temperature that is close to the actual intended
usage environment.
If the temperature changes, the position of the image may shift or the accuracy of the pen may
decline.
Install the projector so that it is tilted at an angle of no more than +3 degrees or -3 degrees
vertically and horizontally in relation to the screen.
When using interactive functions, install the projector so that the projected image is within
reach.
We recommend using stick-on screens or board screens.
