You can install the projector on a wall or ceiling, or place it on a table to project images.
To install the projector on a wall or mount the projector from a ceiling, you can use an optional mount or a commercially available mount compatible with the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (100 × 200 mm).
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:
Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.
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.
If you cannot install the projector squarely facing the screen, correct any resulting keystone distortion using the projector controls. For the best quality images, we recommend adjusting the installation position of the projector to achieve the correct image size and shape.
When you install the projector to a fixed location, turn on the Fixed Installation setting in the projector's Installation menu.
You can adjust distortion and the height of the projected image using the front adjustable feet and rear adjustable foot.
Warning
A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a wall or ceiling. If you do not install the projector correctly, it could fall and cause damage or injury.
Do not use adhesives on the setting plate fixing points or other 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 mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the 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
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.
If the projector is mounted on the ceiling, it should be installed by qualified technicians using mounting hardware designed for use with this projector. When installing the projector in a high position, take measures to preventit from 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. Contact your dealer to carry out the installation work.
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.
If you are using the projector at altitudes above 4921 feet (1,500 m), set the High Altitude Mode setting to On in the projector's Installation 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.
