Positioning your projector

Choosing a location

Before choosing an installation location for your projector, take the following factors into consideration: · Size and position of your screen · Electrical outlet location · Location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment The projected image size and vertical offset depend on how far you place the projector, and the zoom setting you choose. The table and diagram from Projection dimensions on page 12 can help decide exact distance and height of your projector

You can install your projector in the following ways.

1. Front Table Select this location with the projector placed on the table in front of the screen. This is the most common way to position the projector for quick setup and portability.

2. Rear Table Select this location with the projector placed on the table behind the screen. Note that a special rear projection screen is required.

3. Front Ceiling

4. Rear Ceiling

Select this location with the projector suspended Select this location with the projector suspended

upside-down in front of the screen. Purchase the upside-down from behind the screen. Note that a

BenQ Projector Ceiling/Wall Mount Kit from your special rear projection screen and the BenQ

dealer to mount your projector.

Projector Ceiling/Wall Mount Kit are required for

this installation location.

After turning on the projector, go to Advanced menu – Installation Menu > Projector Position and press / to select a setting.

For example, if you are using a 120-inch screen, the recommended projection distance is 3454 mm.

If your measured projection distance is 5000 mm, the closest match in the “Distance from screen (mm)” column is 5180 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 180” (about 4.6 m) screen is required. The projected image will be slightly higher/lower than the lens centerline with 125 mm vertical offset.

· All measurements are approximate and may vary from the actual sizes. BenQ recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projector’s optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.
· To optimize your projection quality, we suggest doing the projection by following the values in the non-gray cells.
· The values in the gray cells are for reference only.

· Please stop turning the adjustment knob when you hear a clicking sound indicating the knob has reached its limit. Over-turning the knob may cause damage.
Mounting the projector
If you intend to mount your projector, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting BenQ projector mounting kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely installed. If you use a non-BenQ brand projector mounting kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall down due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.
Before mounting the projector
· Purchase a BenQ projector mounting kit from the place you purchased your BenQ projector. · BenQ recommends that you also purchase a separate Kensington lock compatible security cable and
attach it securely to both the Kensington lock slot on the projector and the base of the mounting bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose. · Ask your dealer to install the projector for you. Installing the projector on your own may cause it to fall and result in injury.
Positioning your projector 13

· Take necessary procedures to prevent the projector from falling off such as during an earthquake. · The warranty doesn’t cover any product damage caused by mounting the projector with a non-BenQ
brand projector mounting kit. · Consider the surrounding temperature where the projector is ceiling/wall mounted. If a heater is used,
the temperature around the ceiling/wall may be higher than expected. · Read the user manual for the mounting kit about the range of torque. Tightening with torque
exceeding the recommended range may cause damage to the projector and subsequently falling off. · Make sure the power outlet is at an accessible height so that you can easily shut down the projector.

Test Pattern

High Altitude Mode

We recommend you use the High Altitude Mode when your environment is between 1500 m ­3000 m above sea level, and ambient temperature is between 0°C­30°C. Operation under “High Altitude Mode” may cause a higher decibel operating noise level because of increased fan speed necessary to improve overall system cooling and performance. If you use this projector under other extreme conditions excluding the above, it may display auto shut-down symptoms, which is designed to protect your projector from over-heating. In cases like this, you should switch to High Altitude mode to solve these symptoms. However, this is not to state that this projector can operate under any and all harsh or extreme conditions.

12V Trigger Baud Rate

· Do not use the High Altitude Mode if your altitude is between 0 m and 1500 m and ambient temperature is between 0°C and 35°C. The projector will be over cooled, if you turn the mode on under such a condition.
There are two 12V triggers that work independently according to your needs for installation scenarios. · On: If this is selected, the projector will send electronic signal out when it is
turned on. · Off: If this is selected, the projector will not send electronic signal out when it is
turned on.
Select a baud rate that is identical with your computer’s so that you can connect the projector with a suitable RS-232 cable and update or download the projector’s firmware. This function is intended for qualified service personnel.

Care of the projector
Cleaning the lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Please be sure to turn off the projector and let it cool down completely before cleaning the lens. · Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust. · If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and gently
wipe the lens surface. · Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as
alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the projector surface and cabinet material.
Cleaning the projector case
Before you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown procedure as described in Shutting down the projector on page 26 and unplug the power cord. · To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, lint-free cloth. · To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral pH detergent. Then
wipe the case.
Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the case.
Storing the projector
If you need to store the projector for an extended time, please follow the instructions below: · Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the recommended range for
the projector. Please refer to Specifications on page 47 or consult your dealer about the range. · Retract the adjuster feet. · Remove the battery from the remote control. · Pack the projector in its original packing or equivalent.
Transporting the projector
It is recommended that you ship the projector with its original packing or equivalent.
Lamp information
Getting to know the lamp hour
When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is automatically calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as follows: 1. Light Source Usage Time = (x+y+z) hours, if
Time used in Normal mode = x hours Time used in Eco mode = y hours Time used in SmartEco mode = z hours
Maintenance 39

2. Equivalent Light Hours = hours

, if AX’x

X+

YA’xY+

A’ Z

xZ

X = lamp life spec of Normal mode

Y = lamp life spec of Eco mode

Z = lamp life spec of SmartEco mode

A’ is the longest lamp life spec among X, Y, Z

For Time used in each lamp mode shown in OSD menu:
– Time used is accumulated and rounded down to an integer in Hours.
– When time used is less than 1 hour, it shows 0 hours.
When you calculate Equivalent Lamp hour manually, it will probably have deviation from the value shown in OSD menu since projector system calculates Time used for each lamp mode in “Minutes” then rounds down to an integer in hours shown in OSD.

To obtain the lamp hour information: Go to Advanced menu – System > Light Source Information and press OK. The Light Source Information page appears. You can also get the lamp hour information on the Information menu.

· If lamp replacement is performed while the projector is suspended upside- down, make sure that no one is underneath the lamp socket to avoid any possible injury or damage to the human eyes caused by fractured lamp.
· Ensure good ventilation when handling broken lamps. We recommend that you use respirators, safety glasses, goggles or face shield and wear protective clothing such as gloves.
1. Turn the power off and disconnect the projector from the power outlet. If the lamp is hot, avoid burns by waiting for approximately 45 minutes until the lamp has cooled.
2. Loosen the screw(s) that secure the lamp cover on the side of the projector until the lamp cover loosens.

3. Remove the lamp cover from the projector.
· Do not turn the power on with the lamp cover open. · Do not insert your fingers between the lamp and the
projector. The sharp edges inside the projector may cause injuries
4. Remove the safety mylar. 5. Disconnect the lamp connector.
