Projector Placement
22
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.
You can also use a commercially available mount compatible with the VESA
Mounting Interface Standard (100 × 100 mm).
The projector can be installed at various angles. There is no vertical or
horizontal limit to how the projector can be installed.
Note the following points when selecting a projector location:
• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible
mount.
• 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 so it squarely faces the screen, not at an angle.
Page 23
Projector Placement
23
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.
• Failure to install the ceiling mount and projector may cause the projector to fall.
After installing the specific Epson mount that supports your projector, make
sure you secure the mount to all of the projector's ceiling mount fixing points.
Also, secure the projector and the mounts using wire that is strong enough to
hold their weight.
• Do not install the projector in a location subject to high levels of dust or
humidity, or in a location subject to smoke or steam. Otherwise, it could cause a
fire or electric shock to occur. The projector's case could also deteriorate and be
damaged causing the projector to fall from the mount.
Examples of environments that could cause the projector to fall due to case
deterioration
• Locations subject to excessive smoke or airborne oil particles, such as factories
or kitchens
• Locations containing volatile solvents or chemicals, such as factories or
laboratories
• Locations where the projector could be subjected to detergents or chemicals,
such as factories or kitchens
• Locations in which aroma oils are often used, such as relaxation rooms
• Near devices that produce excessive smoke, airborne oil particles, or foam at
events
Warning
• 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 use or store the projector in locations where it will be subject to dust or
dirt. Otherwise, the quality of the projected image may decline. If the lens or air
filter gets dusty, it may result in a malfunction or 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.
• Do not install in locations where salt damage could occur, or in locations subject
to corrosive gas such as sulphuric gas from hot springs. Otherwise, corrosion
could cause the projector to fall. It could also cause the projector to malfunction.
Attention
• If you are using the projector at altitudes above 1,500 m, set the High Altitude
Mode setting to On in the projector's Installation menu to ensure the projector's
internal temperature is regulated properly.
• Try not to setup the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or
in locations subject to smoke from fires or tobacco smoke.

• Center the lens position by turning the vertical and horizontal lens shift
dials until they click.
• Attach the lens cover that was included with the projector.
• When transporting the projector a long distance or as checked luggage, pack
it in a firm box with cushioning around it and mark the box "Fragile."
• When shipping the projector for repairs, place it in its original packing
materials, if possible, or use equivalent materials with cushioning around
the projector. Mark the box "Fragile."

Attention
• If the projector is installed at an angle, it should be installed by qualified
technicians using mounting hardware designed for use with this projector.
• Install the projector appropriately to prevent it from falling down.
• Use M4 screws (up to a depth of 9 mm) to fix the projector's ceiling mount
fixing points and the mounting hardware at four points.

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‑L735U/EB‑L730U/EB‑L635SU/EB‑L630SU/EB‑L630U/EB‑L530U).
Pass a commercially available cable tie through the cable holder and tie
a
the cables together.
Place the cable cover on the projector as shown, guiding the cables
b
through the notch on the base of the cable cover.
Tighten the cable cover screws.

Caution
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.
