11 Introduction

Positioning your projector

Choosing a location

Before choosing an installation location for your projector, take the following factors into consideration:

• Size and position of your screen

• Electrical outlet location

• Location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment

You can install your projector in the following ways.

1. Front

Select this location with the projector placed on the table in front of the screen. This is the most common way to position the projector for quick setup and portability.

3. Front Ceiling

Select this location with the projector suspended upside-down from the ceiling in front of the screen. Purchase the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mount Kit from your dealer to mount your projector on the ceiling.

2. Rear Ceiling

Select this location with the projector suspended upside-down from the ceiling behind the screen. Note that a special rear projection screen and the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mount Kit are required for this installation location.

4. Rear

Select this location with the projector placed on the table behind the screen. Note that a special rear projection screen is required.

After turning on the projector, go to INSTALLATION > Projector Position and press / to select a setting.

For example, if you are using a 120-inch screen, the recommended projection distance is 4696 mm.

If your measured projection distance is 500 cm, the closest match in the "Distance from screen (mm)" column is 5087 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 130'' (about 3.3 m) screen is required.

All measurements are approximate and may vary from the actual sizes. BenQ recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.

13 Positioning your projector

Mounting the projector

Ceiling mount screw: M4 (Max L = 25 mm; Min L = 20 mm)

Unit: mm

If you intend to mount your projector, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting BenQ projector mounting kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely installed.

If you use a non-BenQ brand projector mounting kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall down due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.

Before mounting the projector

• Purchase a BenQ projector mounting kit from the place you purchased your BenQ projector.

• BenQ recommends that you also use a security cable to secure both the base of the mounting bracket and the security bar on the projector. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.

• Ask your dealer to install the projector for you. Installing the projector on your own may cause it to fall and result in injury.

• Take necessary procedures to prevent the projector from falling off such as during an earthquake.

• The warranty doesn’t cover any product damage caused by mounting the projector with a non-BenQ brand projector mounting kit.

• Consider the surrounding temperature where the projector is ceiling mounted. If a heater is used, the temperature around the ceiling may be higher than expected.

• Read the user manual for the mounting kit about the range of torque. Tightening with torque exceeding the recommended range may cause damage to the projector and subsequently falling off.

• Make sure the power outlet is at an accessible height so that you can easily shut down the projector.

Shifting the projection lens

The lens shift control provides flexibility for installing your projector. It allows the projector to be positioned off the center of the screen.

The lens shift is expressed as a percentage of the projected image height or width. You can turn the knobs on the projector to shift the projection lens in any direction within the allowable range depending on your desired image position.

• Lens shift adjustment will not result in a degraded picture quality.

• Please stop turning the adjustment knob when you hear a clicking sound indicating that the knob has reached its limit. Over-turning the knob may cause damage.
