Projector Placement

You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.

You can also install the projector in a ceiling mount if you want to use it in a fixed location. An optional ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling.

Note the following points when selecting a projector location:

• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.

Warning

• You must install a ceiling mount when suspending the projector from a ceiling. If you do not install the projector correctly, it could fall and cause damage or injury.

• Do not use adhesives on the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws from loosening, or use lubricants, oils, or similar substances 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.

• Do not cover the projector's air intake or air exhaust vents. If the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.

• Do not install the projector on an unstable surface or in a location beyond the weight specifications of the projector. Otherwise, it could fall or topple causing an accident and injury.

• When installing the projector in a high position, take measures to prevent falling by using wires to ensure safety in an emergency, such as an earthquake, and to prevent accidents. If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.

• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or next to anything that could block the vents.

• Place the projector parallel to the screen.

Attention

• If you are using the projector at altitudes above 1500 m, set the High Altitude Mode setting to On in the projector's Extended menu to ensure the projector's

internal temperature is regulated properly. s Extended > Operation > High Altitude Mode

The connection method varies depending on your Epson document camera model. See the document camera manual for details.

Connecting to an HDBaseT Transmitter

To send an HDMI or RS-232C signal over a long distance, you can connect the projector to an optional HDBaseT transmitter using a 100Base-TX network cable (EB‑L615U/EB‑L610U/EB‑L510U/EB‑L610W). This is useful when you want to send a signal to or control the projector from a remote location, such as in a hall or event site, since you can use a network cable up to 100 m in length. To ensure proper data transmission, use a Category 5e STP cable or better. However, operation is not guaranteed for all input/output devices and environments.

• To enable communication from the Ethernet and serial ports on the

transmitter, select On as the Control Communications setting in the projector's Extended menu (Standby Mode is automatically set to Communication On). Turning on this setting disables the projector's LAN and RS-232C ports.

Attaching and Removing the Cable Cover

When suspending the projector from a ceiling, you can attach the cable cover that came with your projector to hide the attached cables from view (EB‑L615U/EB‑L610U/EB‑L510U/EB‑L610W/EB‑L610).

Pass a commercially available cable tie through the cable holder and tie

the cables together.

Caution

Place the cable cover on the projector as shown, guiding the cables

through the notch on the base of the cable cover.

Tighten the cable cover screws.

Do not bundle the power cord to the other cables. Otherwise, a fire may occur.

To remove the cover, loosen the cover screws and pull the cover off of the projector.

Attaching the Zoom Ring Locks

Make sure you attach the zoom ring locks that come with the projector to prevent the zoom ring from moving unexpectedly after adjusting the projected image (EB‑L500W/EB‑L500).

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

Insert the batteries with the + and – ends facing as shown.

Warning

Check the positions of the (+) and (–) marks inside the battery holder to ensure the batteries are inserted the correct way. If the batteries are not used correctly, they could explode or leak causing a fire, injury, or damage to the product.

Replace the battery cover and press it down until it clicks into place.

Try the following if you do not see a projected image.

• Turn on the connected computer or video device.

• Change the screen output from the computer when using a laptop computer.

• Insert a DVD or other video media, and press play (if necessary).

• Press the [Source Search] button on the control panel or remote control to detect the source.

• Press the button for the desired video source on the remote control.

• If the Home screen is displayed, select the source you want to project.

Warning

• Never look into the projector lens when the light source is on. This can damage your eyes and is especially dangerous for children.

• When turning on the projector at a distance using the remote control, make sure there is no one looking into the lens.

• During projection, do not block the light from the projector with a book or other objects. If the light from the projector is blocked, the area on which the light shines becomes hot which could cause it to melt, burn, or start a fire. Also, the lens may get hot due to the reflected light which could cause the projector to malfunction. To stop projection, use the A/V Mute function, or turn off the projector.
