Warranty

This product is backed by a limited two year warranty. The details of the warranty are printed at the back of this manual. A longer term warranty can be purchased from your In Focus dealer. Refer to page 48 for the part number.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR

Place the projector on a flat surface.

•

The projector must be within 7.5 feet (2.3 m) of your power source.

•

If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the

LP 1000 Series Ceiling Mount Installation Guide

that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling” on page 34. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold separately; see page 48.

Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.

•

The distance from the lens of the pr oj ector to the scr een and the zoom lens setting determine the size of the projected image. Table 1 shows example projected image sizes and minimum and max im um distances to the screen.

The formulas for distance to the screen are:

Max distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷ .541 Min distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷ .716

NO TE: An optional extension cable, sold separately, lets you increase the distance between the projector and your computer to 70 feet (21 m). See “Optional Accessories” on page 47.

The LP 1000 is equipped with a lens shift feature that allows you to adjust the projection height (move the image along the wall) without moving the projector, while still maintaining a perfectly square image. Turn the lens shift knob on top of the projector to make this adjustment (see Figure 3 on page 3).

The bottom of the image can move from half way below the projector’s lens (Figure 5) to 25% above the lens (Figure 6).

Example:

With a 10’ image, at the lowest projection angle, the bottom of the image is 5’ below the projector’s lens; at the highest projection angle, the bottom of the image is 2.5’ above the lens.

Once you know the diagonal image size, you can figure out the width and height using these formulas:

width (inches) = diagonal (inches) x 0.8 height (inches) = w idth (inches) x 0.75

Setting up the Projector

The following tables give the lens shift values for desktop and ceiling-mounted setups for various image sizes. The lower lens shift position represents the highest the projector can be above the bottom of the screen; the upper lens shift position represents the lowest the projector can be below the bottom of the screen.
