Installation Requirements
Warning
•A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector
from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If installation work is not carried out
correctly, the projector could fall down. This may result in injury or
accidents.
Contact your dealer or the nearest address provided in the Epson Projector
Contact List if you want to use this installation method.
s"Epson Projector Contact List" p.84
•If you use adhesives on the Ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws
from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the
projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling
mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount
and could damage the projector.
When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to
prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so
on.
•Do not cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of
the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.
a
•An optional ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector
from a ceiling.
•When mounted on a ceiling, set Inv Direction Button to On so that
the operations and movement of the [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ]
buttons on the control panel match.
Press [Menu] button > Extended > Operation > Inv Direction
Button
The projector can be installed at the following angles.
Vertical: Can be installed at any angle in a complete 360 degrees.
Horizontal: Can be tilted within the range of expansion and contraction for
the rear feet.
s"Adjusting the Horizontal Tilt (When Setup on a Desk)" p.25
Make sure there is a gap of at least 50 cm between the wall and the air
exhaust vent and the air intake vent.
Air exhaust vent
Air intake vent
When setting up multiple projectors, make sure there is a gap of at least
50 cm between the projectors. Also, make sure the heat coming out of the
air exhaust is not taken in through the air inlet.
When installation is complete, set the Direction from the configuration
menu according to the vertical installation angle.
Press [Menu] button > Extended > Direction
Use the [ ][ ] buttons to set the projector's installation angle.
