POWER SUPPLY
Power Supply
The power cable is not included with the projector. Refer to the AC power work specications section below and provide the necessary
power cable.
AC power work specications
AC power supply equipment
Do not use any voltage other than those shown below for the AC power supply connected to the projector:
• 200–240V AC, single phase, power, 50/60Hz
Notes
Carefully read the contents
described in this section before
connection and connect the
cables according to the proper
procedure. Inappropriate handling
may cause fatal, serious or other
bodilyinjuriesduetoreor
electric shock.
Before connecting the power
cables, check that the main power
switch of the projector is turned
off. Implement the connection
with AC power shut off.
Be sure to ground the equipment
to ensure safety. Use a power
cable that meets the standards
and power supply voltage of the
country where you are using the
projector and always connect the
equipment to the ground. If the
ground is not connected, it may
cause electrical shocks.
When connecting the power
cable plugs to the AC IN and the
electrical outlet, securely insert
the plugs all the way in. If the
connection between the power
cable plug and the electrical
outlet is loose, the plug area may
generate heat, causing burns and
accidents.
Users in North America:
Use a power cable no longer
than 4.5 m / 14.76 ft according to
National Electrical Code.

POSITIONING THE SCREEN AND PROJECTOR
Positioning The Screen And Projector
Installation should be carried out by authorised personnel only.
1. Install the screen, ensuring that it is in the best position for viewing by your audience.
2. Mount the projector, ensuring that it is at a suitable distance from the screen for the image to ll the screen. Set the adjustable feet so that
the projector is level, and perpendicular to the screen.
The drawing below shows the bottom of the projector. The positions of the feet for table mounting, and the xing holes for ceiling mounting
are clearly visible. The illustration also shows the positions of the four handles which facilitate safe carriage.
1Four adjustable feet
2Six M6 holes for ceiling mount (set A)
The screws should not penetrate more than 15 mm into the
body of the projector.
3Handles for safe carriage
4Six M6 holes for ceiling mount (set B)
The screws should not penetrate more than 15 mm into the
body of the projector.

Notes
Always allow the projector
to cool for 5 minutes before
disconnecting the power or
moving the projector.
Ensure that there is at least 30
cm (12 in) of space between the
ventilation outlets and any wall,
and 10 cm (4 in) on all other
sides.
Projectors are not designed to
be stacked on top of each other
unless a rigging frame is used.
