Warning and Cautions on Installation

An optional ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling.
s
"Optional Accessories" p.240
Warning
Do not use or install the projector where it may be subject to water or rain, or high humidity, such as outdoors, in a bathroom, or shower room, and so on. Otherwise, it could cause a fire or electric shock.
A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If installation work is not carried out correctly, the projector could fall down. This may result in injury or accidents. Contact your local dealer or the nearest address provided in the Epson Projector Contact List. s Epson Projector Contact List
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 an accident or injury to anyone under the ceiling mount. 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.
Do not place flammable objects in front of the lens. If you set the schedule to turn on the projector automatically, any flammable objects placed in front of the lens could cause a fire.
Do not tie the power cord and other connection cables together. Otherwise, it could cause a fire.
Only use the specified power-supply voltage. Otherwise, it could cause a fire or electric shock.
Safety Warning and Cautions
4
Warning

- Do not plug multiple power cords in a single electric outlet.
- Do not plug in the power cord if there are any foreign substances, such as dust, stuck to it.
- Make sure you insert the power cord all the way in.
- Do not plug in or unplug the power cord with wet hands.
- Do not pull the cord when unplugging the power cord. Make sure you hold it by the plug.
Do not use a damaged power cord. Otherwise, it could cause a fire or electric shock. Note the following when handling the power cord.
- Do not alter the power cord.
- Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord.
- Do not bend, twist, or pull the power cord forcibly.
- Do not layout the power cord near a heating device.
Caution
Attention
Do not install the projector in a location that is subject to vibration or shock.
Do not install the projector near a high-voltage line or object that generates magnetism. Otherwise the projector may not work correctly.
Do not use or store the projector in a location that is subject to extreme temperatures. Also, avoid sudden temperature changes.
Make sure you use or store the projector in a place that is within the following operating or storage temperature ranges.
- Operating temperature range 0 to +50˚C (Altitude of 0 to 1,500 m, no condensation) 0 to +45˚C (Altitude of 1,501 to 3,048 m, no condensation)
- Storage temperature range: -10 to +60˚C (No condensation)
When using at an altitude that exceeds 1,500 m, set High Altitude Mode to On.
Extended - Operation - High Altitude Mode p.150
s
The projector can be installed at any angle. There is no vertical or horizontal limit to how the projector can be installed.
Do not place the projector on an unstable surface, such as on an unstable table or tilted surface. When projecting vertically, install the projector appropriately to prevent the projector from falling. Otherwise it may cause an injury.
You may need dedicated installation mounts to tilt and install the projector. Contact a professional and prepare the mount.
Plan so that the mount does not fall.
Safety Warning and Cautions
5
Attention
Make sure you secure the following space around the projector so as not to block the air exhaust vent and the air intake vent.
When setting up multiple projectors, make sure there is a gap of at least 50 cm between the projectors. Also, make sure that the heat from the air exhaust vent does not go into the air intake vent.
Do not use two projectors at the same time when stacking two projectors directly on top of each other. Install the projector so that there is no danger that it will fall.
Attention
Use commercially available M6 screws (up to a depth of 12 mm) to fix the projector's ceiling mount fixing points and the mount at four points.
When installing the projector with the air intake vent facing down, make sure there is a gap of at least 10 cm between the projector and the floor and so on. Make sure there is a space of 50 x 20 cm for the base so that the air intake vent is not blocked.
a
We recommend setting the focus, zoom, and lens shift at least 20 minutes after you start the projection, because images are not stable right after turning on the projector. Wait for at least 20 minutes.
When adjusting the image height with the vertical lens shift, adjust by moving the image from the bottom to the top. If it is adjusted from the top to the bottom, the image position may move down slightly after adjusting.

Warning and Cautions on Usage

Warning
Do not cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of the vents is covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.
Do not look into the lens while projecting. The powerful light emitted could cause damage to eyesight. Take particular care when there are children present. 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 the lens cover (removable) or a book and so on.
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.
Do not open the projector's case. Never disassemble or remodel the projector. There are high-voltage components inside the projector that could cause fire, electric shock, or an accident.
If an error occurs, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, and contact your local dealer or the nearest address provided in the Epson Projector Contact List. If you continue using the projector as it is, it could cause an electric shock, fire, or even damage to eyesight.
s Epson Projector Contact List
Attention
Only remove the lens unit when necessary. If dust or dirt enter the projector, projection quality deteriorates and it could cause a malfunction.
Try not to touch the lens section with your hand or fingers. If fingerprints or oils are left on the surface of the lens, projection quality deteriorates.
Store the projector with the lens unit installed. If the projector is stored without the lens unit, dust and dirt may get inside the projector and cause malfunctions or lower the quality of projection.
When storing, make sure you remove the batteries from the remote control. If the batteries are left in the remote control for an extended period of time, they may leak.
Caution
Do not place objects that may become warped or otherwise affected by heat near the air exhaust vent and do not put your face or hands near the vent while projection is in progress.

About the LCD panel
- The LCD panel may contain pixels that are missing or appear bright all the time. This is not a sign of an error.
- When a high-powered laser beams through the surface of the projection lens even when it is not being used, it can cause a malfunction in the LCD panel. Attach the lens cover when storing the projector.
About the light source The projector uses a laser as the light source. The laser has the
following characteristics.
- Depending on the surroundings, the brightness of the light source may decline. The brightness declines a lot when the temperature gets too high.
- The brightness of the light source declines the longer it is used. You can change the relationship between usage time and decline in brightness in Brightness Settings.
s "Relationship between Brightness Level and usage time" p.79
Light Source Calibration
- Whenever the usage time reaches 100 hours, calibration starts automatically for the light source when the projector is turned off. However, this does not start automatically when the projector is used continuously for more than 24 hours, or when direct shutdown is used regularly. Set Light Source Calibration in the scheduling function.
s "Scheduling Function" p.116
- When performing light source calibration, the difference between the white balance and the brightness level for the light source is corrected.

Preparing the Projector

This chapter explains how to install the projector and connect projection sources.

Installing the Projector

Removing and Attaching the Projector Lens Unit

Attaching
Attention
When attaching the lens unit, remove the power plug from the electrical outlet first.
Do not attach the lens unit when the projector's lens insertion section is facing up. Dust or dirt could enter the projector.
Try not to touch the lens section with your hand or fingers. If fingerprints or oils are left on the surface of the lens, projection quality deteriorates.
The projector supports lens with the following model numbers.
a
ELPLX02, ELPLU03, ELPLU04, ELPLW05, ELPLW06, ELPLM09, ELPLM10, ELPLM11, ELPLM15, ELPLL08, ELPLS04, ELPLU02, ELPLR04, ELPLW04, ELPLM06, ELPLM07, ELPLL07
When using the following lens, set the Lens Type in the Configuration menu according to the lens you are using so that distortion correction is performed correctly.
