Installation and Setup
If you do not want to use the distance table, you can use the following equations to
help determine where to install the projector relative to the screen.
Calculating projection dimensions
If your installation does not fall within these ranges, an add-on lens might be required.
See “To install an add-on lens” on page 57.
To install on a table
1. Place the projector on a stable platform located 1.5 to 14 m (5 to 46 ft) in front of
the screen.
distance from screen = A × width of screen
min and max distance from screen = B
width of screen = 0.8 × diagonal of screen (for 4:3 screen)
projector lens at same level as bottom or top of screen
A = 1.98 to 2.38
B = 1.5 to 14 m (5 to 46 ft)
2. Connect all necessary cables to the projector.
3. If necessary, set the projector to match the installation. Open the on-screen menu
and select setup > Projector position. Then choose Front Table from the
drop-down list.
To install on the ceiling
Your ceiling mount might differ from the one shown in the following images.
However, the installation steps are basically the same.
HP recommends that a qualified carpenter or electrician install the ceiling mount.

18Reference Guide
Installation and Setup
1. Align the end of the ceiling-mount bracket 1 with the center hole in the
lower-mount bracket
2, and firmly secure it with a washer 3 and bolt 4.
2. Align the three holes on the projector with the lower-mount bracket and firmly
secure with three screws.
Reference Guide19
Installation and Setup
3. Attach the ceiling-mount bracket to the ceiling, and firmly secure with four screws
capable of holding 9 kg (20 lb). The ceiling-mount bracket must be located 1.5 to
14 m (5 to 46 ft) in front of the screen.
4. Adjust the on-screen menu to match your settings. Open the on-screen menu and
select setup > Projector position. Then select Front Ceiling from the drop-down
list.
5. (Optional) Install the cable shroud to hide the cables. See “To install the cable
shroud” on page 22. If you secure the projector with a Kensington lock, the lock
also secures the shroud.
20Reference Guide
Installation and Setup
If you do not use an HP ceiling mount, mount the projector according to the following
dimensions:
■ X = 176 mm (6.93 in.)
■ Y = 188 mm 7.40 in.)
■ Z = 86 mm (3.39 in.)
■ Thread size = M6
To install for rear projection
1. Place the projector 1.5 to 14 m (5 to 46 ft) behind a translucent screen that is
designed for rear projection.
See “To install on a table” on page 18 or “To install on the ceiling” on page 18 for
more instructions.
2. Open the on-screen menu and select setup > Projector position. Then select
Rear Table or Rear Ceiling from the drop-down list.
If the projector is not visible to the remote control, you can use one of two techniques
to enable them to communicate. See “To connect control equipment” on page 33.
