Page 20

Installation Methods

The projector supports the following four different projection methods. Install the projector according to the conditions of the installation location.
Project images from in front of
the screen. (Front projection)
Project images from behind a
translucent screen. (Rear projec­tion)
Suspend the projector from the
ceiling and project images from in front of a screen. (Front/Ceil­ing projection)
Suspend the projector from the
ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear/Ceiling projection)
Warning
A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector
from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
If you use adhesives on the Ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws
from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils 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. When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so on.
Do not cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of
the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.
Attention
Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.

Cautions regarding viewing methods
Caution
If your eyes feel fatigued or uncomfortable when viewing 3D images, stop
viewing immediately. Continuing to view the 3D images could cause you to feel unwell.
When viewing 3D images be sure to always wear 3D Glasses. Do not attempt
to view 3D images without 3D Glasses. Doing so could cause you to feel unwell.
Do not place any breakable or fragile objects around you when using 3D
Glasses. 3D images may cause you to move your body involuntarily, resulting in
damage to nearby items or personal injury.
Only wear 3D Glasses when viewing 3D images. Do not move around while
wearing 3D Glasses. Your vision may appear darker than normal, causing you to fall or injure yourself.
View from in front of the screen.
Viewing 3D images at an angle reduces the 3D effect and may cause you to feel unwell due to unintended color changes.
If using 3D Glasses in a room with fluorescent or LED lighting, you may see
flashing or flickering throughout the room. If this should occur, reduce the lighting until the flickering goes away or turn off the lights completely when viewing 3D images. This flickering could trigger seizures or fainting for some individuals. If you begin to feel uncomfortable or unwell at any time when viewing 3D images, stop immediately.
Stay at least three times the height of the screen away from the screen when
viewing 3D images. The recommended viewing distance for an 80-inch screen is at least 3 meters,
and at least 3.6 meters for a 100-inch screen. Sitting or standing any closer than the recommended viewing distance may result in eye fatigue.
When viewing 3D images, we recommend using a screen size smaller than
120 inches. If the screen size is too large, you may experience eyestrain or nausea due to
the content, viewing environment, your physical condition, and so on.
Cautions for the viewer
Caution
You should not use 3D Glasses if you are sensitive to light, have a heart condition, or are unwell. Doing so could aggravate your pre-existing conditions.
Cautions regarding the viewing age (for children)
Caution
The minimum recommended age to view 3D images is six years old.Children under the age of six are still developing and viewing 3D images may
cause complications. Consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
Children viewing 3D images through 3D Glasses should always be
accompanied by an adult. It is often difficult to tell when a child is feeling tired or uncomfortable,
which could result in them feeling suddenly unwell. Always check that children in your care are not experiencing any eye fatigue during viewing.

Maintenance

This chapter provides information on maintenance procedures to ensure the best level of performance from the projector for a long time to come.
Page 98
You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.
Caution
Turn off the projector's power before cleaning. Otherwise, it could cause an electric shock.

Cleaning the Projector's Surface

Clean the projector's surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.
If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector's surface.
Attention
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to clean the projector's surface. The quality of the case may change or become discolored.

Cleaning the Lens

Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses to gently wipe the lens.
Warning
Do not use sprays that contain flammable gas to remove dust and lint from the lens. The projector may catch fire due to the high internal temperature of the lamp.
Attention
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks as it can easily become damaged.

Cleaning the 3D Glasses

Clean the lenses of the glasses by wiping them gently with a soft cloth.
Attention
Do not rub the lenses of the glasses with harsh materials or handle them too
roughly as they can easily become damaged.
When maintenance is necessary, disconnect the USB Charging Adapter from
the electrical outlet, and check that all cables have been disconnected.

Cleaning the Air Filter

Clean the air filter and the air intake vent when the following message is displayed.
"The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air filter."

Cleaning

98
Page 99
Attention
If dust collects on the air filter, it can cause the internal temperature of the
projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation and shorten the optical engine's service life. Clean the air filter immediately when the message is displayed.
Do not rinse the air filter in water. Do not use detergents or solvents.
a
If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it is time to
replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air filter. s "Replacing the Air Filter" p.103
It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once every
three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.
Cleaning

Page 100
This section explains how to replace the lamp and the air filter.

Replacing the Lamp

Lamp replacement period
It is time to replace the lamp when:
The following message is displayed.
"Time to replace the lamp. Please contact your Epson projector reseller or visit www.epson.com to purchase." The message is displayed for 30 seconds.
The lamp indicator flashes orange.
The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
Attention
The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following time
periods in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected images.
For EB-W16 When using Power Consumption continually at Normal: About 3900 hours When using Power Consumption continually at ECO: About 4900 hours
s
Settings - Power Consumption p.77
For EH-TW550/EH-TW510 When using Power Consumption continually at High: About 3,900 hours When using Power Consumption continually at Low: About 4,900 hours s Settings - Power Consumption p.77
If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has passed, the
possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.
Do not repeatedly turn off the power and immediately back on. Turning the
power on and off frequently may shorten the lamp's operating life.
Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and the way it has been used,
the lamp may become darker or stop working before the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a spare lamp unit ready in case it is needed.
How to replace the lamp
The lamp can be replaced even when the projector is suspended from a ceiling.
