9 CEILING MOUNTING
The projector is prepared for ceiling mounting. As opposed to desktop use,
ceilings vary in height and material. Also considerations must be made with
respect to signal and power wiring.
9.1 SELECTING A MOUNT
Various mounting systems are available from different sources. Contact
your dealer for further details or consult vendor catalogs. Be sure that the
vendor has tested the mount with this specific projector for operational
safety. Check that the mounting brackets fit the integral M4 screw mounts of
the projector (illustration below), and that the ventilation slots are not
blocked.

USER GUIDE XGA LCD PROJECTOR
9.2 MOUNTING IN THE CEILING
An improperly mounted projector is a potential danger to
people and equipment. A projector and mount falling down
may cause personal injury and material damage. Such
damage caused by bad workmanship in mounting and
operation may lead to legal action and should be avoided.
Avoid ceiling mounting of the projector in areas of frequent
or probable earthquakes.
When fixing the mount in the ceiling, be sure to check the ceiling material
and if it will hold the total weight of the mount and the projector. Look for
wood, steel beams or concrete that will secure a good and lasting fixture.
Avoid plaster or other fragile materials that do not have sufficient structural
properties. Follow the detailed instructions supplied with the ceiling mount
for proper mounting and operation.
After having mounted the projector in the ceiling, test if the holding force is
sufficient by adding a load to the mount at least double the weight of the
combined projector and mount. The mount should hold this extra weight with
no sign of fatigue and with no sign of mounting screws loosening.
9.3 WIRING
Ceiling mounted projectors require long signal and power wires.
The signals should be wired using high quality coaxial cable. The cables
usually need to be customized. Some vendors have specialized in this field.
Contact your dealer for further detail.
If the signal cables run over a longer distance from the source to the
projector, a line buffer (distribution amplifier) may be needed (available from
third party vendors).
For potential fire reasons, the power wiring should be
separately switched so that the projector can be switched off
completely when not in use. The POWER on the remote
control only suspends operation of the projector without
switching off completely.

covered while the projector was in use. Also ensure that the ambient
temperature is within spec. Check the air inlet filters, as they may
need vacuuming (see Maintenance). Wait until the unit has
completely cooled down before using again.
Be aware that the projector has to cool down for 30
seconds after entering standby-mode, before it can
be turned back on again.

• Adjust the CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS settings.
• Press RESET in the menu, which will remove the pre-determined
settings for the current source, and make the set-up adjustments
again.
Some colors are unstable or flickering
• Check first that there are no loose cable connections, or any bent
pins in the cable connector.
• You can try to adjust the image quality with the CONTRAST and
BRIGHTNESS keys on the projector.
• Try to improve the tuning by accessing TUNE in the menu system.

11 MAINTENANCE
The projector needs very little maintenance in order to function properly.
11.1 GENERAL
Use a damp cloth to wipe off dust on the exterior. Clean the lens with a
damp, non-abrasive cloth, using just water or a standard lens cleaning
solution available from photographic dealers.
Vacuum the air inlets periodically, especially when build-up
Do not scratch the lens surface. Use the lens cap when the projector is not
in use for added protection. Remember to remove the lens cap before
operating the unit!
11.2 LAMP REPLACEMENT
The projector is using a custom 150W UHP-lamp for illumination. The lamp
is high pressure when hot (operating or immediately after switch-off). Lamp
pressure is normal when cold.
A lamp timer is available in the menu system under ADVANCED; SERVICE;

in poor illumination, malfunction (potentially explosion) and
will void any warranties.
To reset the lamp timer, invoke the menu system under ADVANCED;
SERVICE and then LAMP RESET. You need to confirm that you actually
intend to reset the lamp timer, or cancel if you accidentally invoked the
function.
11.3 THE REMOTE CONTROL
The infrared remote control requires little maintenance.
The trackball element may be cleaned occasionally with a damp (not wet)
cloth. To take out the ball, twist the ring holding the ball anti-clockwise.
Having taken out the ball, you may also clean the trackball interior using a
damp (not wet) cotton swab.
To change the batteries, open the battery holder on the rear of the handset.
