Installing the Projector

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)

• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of a screen. (Front/Ceiling projection)

• Project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear 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.

Attention

• Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.

• 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.

• An optional Ceiling mount is required when suspending the

projector from a ceiling. s "Optional Accessories" p.97

• The default Projection setting is Front. You can change from Front to Rear from the Configuration menu.

s Extended - Projection p.71

Maintenance

This chapter provides information on maintenance procedures to ensure the best level of performance from the projector for a long time to come.

Cleaning

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.

Attention

Turn off the projector's power before cleaning.

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.

Attention

Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.

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."

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.

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.

Cleaning

• 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.94

• 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.

Replacing Consumables

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.

When Power Consumption is set to Normal: About 3900 hours When Power Consumption is set to ECO: About 4900 hours s Settings - Power Consumption p.70

• 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.

Replacing Consumables

Warning

• When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating, there is a possibility that the lamp may be broken. If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed on the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is cracked, and you should stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it. Remove the lamp cover gently.

• Never disassemble or remodel the lamp. If a modified or disassembled lamp is installed in the projector and used, it could cause a fire, electric shock, or an accident.

Caution

Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing the lamp cover. If the lamp is still hot, burns or other injuries may result. It takes about one hour after the power has been turned off for the lamp to be cool enough.

After you turn off the projector's power and the confirmation buzzer beeps twice, disconnect the power cable.

Wait until the lamp has sufficiently cooled down, and then remove the lamp cover at the top of the projector.

Loosen the Lamp cover fixing screw with the screwdriver supplied with the new lamp unit or a Phillips screwdriver. Then slide the lamp cover straight forward and lift it to remove.

Loosen the two lamp fixing screws.

Replacing Consumables

Take out the old Lamp by pulling the handle.

If the Lamp is cracked, replace it with a new lamp, or contact your local dealer for further advice.

Epson Projector Contact List

Install the new lamp.

Insert the new Lamp along the guide rail in the correct direction so that it fits in place, push in firmly, and once it is fully inserted tighten the two screws.

Attention

• Make sure you install the lamp securely. If the lamp cover is removed, the power turns off automatically as a safety precaution. If the lamp or the lamp cover is not installed correctly, the power does not turn on.

• This product includes a lamp component that contains mercury (Hg). Please consult your local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not dispose of it with normal waste.

Replacing the Air Filter

Air filter replacement period

If the message is displayed frequently even though the air filter has been cleaned, replace the air filter.

How to replace the air filter

The air filter can be replaced even when the projector is suspended from a ceiling.

After you turn off the projector's power and the confirmation buzzer beeps twice, disconnect the power cable.

Open the air filter cover.

Resetting the lamp hours

The projector records how long the lamp is turned on and a message and indicator notify you when it is time to replace the lamp. After replacing the lamp, make sure you reset the Lamp Hours from the Reset menu.

Reset - Reset Lamp Hours p.73

Only reset the Lamp Hours after the lamp has been replaced.

Otherwise the lamp replacement period is not indicated correctly.

Replacing Consumables

Remove the air filter.

Grip the air filter cover tab and pull it straight out.

Install the new air filter.

Slide the air filter from the outside and press in until it firmly clicks into place.

Close the air filter cover.
