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.
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:
• To change the projected image size, move the projector back and forth.
• 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.
• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible
mount.
Page 17
Projector Placement

a
You can adjust distortion and the height of the projected image using
the front adjustable feet and rear adjustable foot.
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.
• A special method of installation is required 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 the safety wire supplied with the
projector or an optional wire.
• 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
• Locations near humidifiers
Page 18
Projector Placement

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, or the air filter
may become clogged, resulting 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 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.

wipe the projection window.
Warning
• Before cleaning the projection window, turn off the projector and unplug the
power cord.
• Do not use any flammable gas sprays such as air dusters to blow off dust. The
high heat generated by the projector may cause a fire.
Attention
• Do not wipe the projection window right after you turn off the projector.
Doing so could damage the projection window.

Air Filter and Vent Maintenance
90
Regular filter maintenance is important to maintain your projector. Clean the
air filter when a message appears telling you the temperature inside the
projector has reached a high level. It is recommended that you clean these
parts over a 20,000 hour period. Clean them more often than this if you use
the projector in an environment that is dustier than expected. (Assuming the
projector is used in an atmosphere in which airborne particulate matter is less
than 0.04 to 0.2 mg/m3.)
Attention
If regular maintenance is not performed, your Epson projector will notify you
when the temperature inside the projector has reached a high level. Do not wait
until this warning appears to maintain your projector filter as prolonged exposure
to high temperatures may reduce the life of your projector.
