Always follow these precautions

WARNING:
Do not look at or place your skin into the light emitted from the lens while the projector is being used.
Doing so can cause burns or loss of sight.

• Strong light is emitted from the projector’s lens. Do not look at or place your hands directly into this light.
• Turn off the power when moving away from the projection lens or projector.

Do not project an image with the lens cover attached.

• Doing so can cause fire.

CAUTION:
Before replacing the projection lens, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet.

• Unexpected projection of light may cause injury to eyes.
• Replacing the projection lens without removing the power plug may result in electric shock.

Do not stand in front of the lens while the projector is being used.
Doing so can cause damage and burns to clothing.

• Strong light is emitted from the projector’s lens.

Do not place objects in front of the lens while the projector is being used.
Doing so can cause fire, damage to the object, or malfunction of the lens and projector.

• Strong light is emitted from the projector’s lens.

Do not open the desiccant bag. Do not eat the contents.
Inadvertently ingesting desiccant could be harmful.

• If the desiccant gets into your eyes or mouth, immediately rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
• Keep desiccant out of the reach of children.

Hazard distance (IEC 62471-5:2015)

The distance from the projection lens surface, at which the emission reaches the Accessible Emission Limit (AEL) of risk group 2, is known as the hazard distance (HD) or safety distance. The area where the emission exceeds the Accessible Emission Limit of risk group 2 is called the hazard zone (HZ).
Within the hazard zone, never look into the light projected from the projector. The eyes may be damaged by direct irradiation even if you look at the light just for a moment. If you are outside the hazard zone, it is considered to be safe in all circumstances except deliberately staring into the light projected from the projector.

Risk group

The combination of the projector and the projection lens is categorized as risk group 2 when the hazard distance is 1 m (39-3/8″) or less. It is categorized as risk group 3 when the hazard distance exceeds 1 m (39-3/8″), and it will be for professional use instead of consumer use.
In case of risk group 3, there is a possibility of damaging the eyes by direct irradiation when looking into the projection light from inside the hazard zone even for a moment. In the case of risk group 2, safe use without damaging the eyes is possible in all circumstances except deliberately staring into the light projected from the projector. The risk group for the combination of the projection lens and a compatible projector is as follows.

Preparation

Before replacing the projection lens

Return the projection lens to the home position before replacing or removing it.
For details on how to return the lens to the home position, refer to the operating instructions of the projector.

Attention

• Make sure that the projector power supply is switched off before attaching or detaching the projection lens.
• After removing the projection lens, store it safely away from vibration or impacts.
• Do not touch the electrical contacts of the projection lens with your fingers. Dust and dirt on the contacts may cause contact malfunctions, while static electricity may damage the unit.
• Do not touch the surface of the lens with bare hands. Finger prints and dirt on the surface of the lens will be magnified by the lens and lower the quality of the projected image. Place the supplied lens cover on the zoom lens when the projector is not in use.
• The lens is made of glass. The lens could be damaged if brought into contact with or rubbed against hard objects. Handle the lens carefully.
• Use a clean, soft and dry cloth to wipe away dust and dirt from the projection lens. Do not use fluffy cloths containing oil, water or dust for cleaning. The lens is easily damaged, so do not apply excessive pressure when wiping it.

Attaching and Detaching the Lens

For details on attaching and detaching the projection lens, refer to the operating instructions of the projector.

Peripheral focus adjustment function

When you change the size of the projected image, the focal balance between the center and peripheral areas of the screen may shift. This shift in balance tends to increase proportionally with smaller throw ratios.
The ET-D3QW200 is equipped with a peripheral focus adjustment function to correct the shift in focal balance between the center and peripheral areas of the screen.

Peripheral focus adjustment ring

Adjusting the focus

1) Turn the peripheral focus adjustment ring in the direction of the arrow to match the projection distance displayed on the lens to the actual distance from the lens to the screen.
2) Operate the projector to align the focus of the center of the projected image.

Note

• The projection distances displayed on the lens are approximate guides.
• The lens focus is not stable immediately after powering on due to the affect of heat produced by the light from the light source.
  It is recommended that the focus be adjusted after the image has been projected for approximately 1 hour.

Lens calibration

Perform lens calibration after attaching the lens.

1. Press the button.
   2) Use the and buttons to select [PROJECTOR SETUP], and press the button.

• The [PROJECTOR SETUP] screen appears.

3) Use the and buttons to select [LENS], and press the button.

• The [LENS] screen appears.

4) Use the and buttons to select [LENS CALIBRATION], and press the button.

• The [LENS CALIBRATION] screen appears.

5) Use the and buttons to select [SHIFT/FOCUS/ZOOM], and press the button.

• The confirmation screen appears.

6) Use the and buttons to select [OK], and press the button.

• Lens calibration starts.
• The projection lens moves to the home position after adjustment range calibration is complete.

Note

• If lens calibration is not performed, the available zoom range will be narrowed.

Projection relationships

The dimensional relationship between the screen and the projector is shown below.

Dimensional relationship diagram

Note

• This diagram assumes that the size and position of the projected image will be adjusted so that the image fills the entire screen.
• This illustration is not drawn to scale.

(Unit: m)

Note

• The illustrations of projectors in this manual are for informational purposes only and do not represent a specific projector model. Configurations may vary with the model.
• If the screen is tilted downward, extend the adjustable feet on the sides of the projector until the projected image is rectangular.
  If the projector is inclined horizontally, adjust the adjustable feet until the projector is level. You can extend the adjustable feet by turning them as shown in the diagram. To return the feet to the original position, turn them in the opposite direction.

Attention

• To prevent obstruction of the intake and exhaust vents, install the projector with a clearance at least 500 mm (1 ft. 7 in.) from walls and objects.
  If you are installing the projector in a sealed space, be sure to provide additional air conditioning equipment and ventilation equipment. Insufficient ventilation will result in an accumulation of heat and may activate the projector’s protection circuit.

• Avoid setting up in places which are subject to sudden temperature changes, such as near an air conditioner or lighting equipment (studio lamps, etc.).

Dimensional relationship

For details on the projection distance (L), refer to “Projected image size and Projection distance” and “Projection distance formulas” in the Appendix.

Note

• When [GEOMETRY] is used, the focus of the entire screen may be lost as correction increases.
• Adjustment range of the [GEOMETRY] items may not match the listed projection range depending on the projection lens. Use this projector within the projection range, otherwise the correction may not work.
• The geometric adjustment function cannot be used when the video signal in simultaneous format or the video signal with vertical scanning frequency of 100 Hz or 120 Hz is input. When projecting an image in simultaneous format or an image with vertical scanning frequency of 100 Hz or 120 Hz, install the projector following the instructions below so that distortion does not occur in the projected image.
  – Use a flat screen.
  – Install the projector so that the front side of the projector is parallel to the screen.
  – Install the projector so that the image can be projected within the lens shift adjustment range.

Lens shift ranges

After moving the lens to the home position according to “Lens calibration” on page 7, you can use the lens shift adjustment function on the projector to adjust the position of the projected image within the respective lens shift ranges based on the optical screen center position (standard projection position). The optical screen center position is the screen position using the optical center of the projector as the base.
Perform lens shift adjustment within the ranges shown in the following illustrations. Moving the lens outside of the adjustment ranges may alter the focus. This occurs due to limitations in lens movement that are intended to protect the optical components. The following illustrations depict lens shift ranges for floor installations of the projector.
