*1 When the standby mode is set to eco, network functions such as power on over the LAN network will not operate, and the serial output terminal cannot be used. Also, only certain commands can be received for external control using the serial terminal.

*2 Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO 21118 international standards.

*3 WUXGA resolution is supported only when the signals are compliant with VESA CVT-RB (Coordinated Video Timing-Reduced Blanking).

*4 With legs at shortest position.

*5 Excluding the optional lens.

*6 Average value (excluding the optional lens). May differ depending on models.

*7 The operating temperature range is 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F) when used in High-Altitude mode (1,400 m (4,593 ft) to 2,700 m (8,858 ft)).

*8 Operation range differs depending on environments.

C a u t i o n :

• All construction work should be done by a qualified technician.

• When mounting to the ceiling, use the special mounting bracket. To prevent the projector from swaying or dropping, attach the wire that is included with the projector between the mounting bracket and the ceiling.

• The value for L (distance to screen) varies slightly within ±5% depending on the zoom lens characteristics.

• At the shortest projection distance, the zoom lens characteristics may cause slight image distortion.

• When vertical keystone correction is used, the image is corrected in the direction that reduces its projected size.

NOTE: When the ET-D75LE5 is mounted, the optical lens shift function cannot be used.

• Because the ET-D75LE5 is a fixed short-throw lens, the lens shift function cannot be used with it.

Installable angle

CAUTION

• It may not be possible to send or receive commands for about 10 to 60 seconds when the lamp is first turned on. If this occurs, wait for 60 seconds, then try sending or receiving again.

• When sending multiple commands, be sure to wait for at least 0.5 second after receiving a response from the projector before sending the next command.

• Additional time is sometimes required for response due to processing inside the projector. Set the time-out period for command response to 10 seconds or more.

• When using two or more units:

1) Set different IDs for each unit.

2) Designate only one unit as RESPONSE (ID ALL) ON and the rest as RESPONSE (ID ALL) OFF.

3) Each group should have only one RESPONSE (ID GROUP) ON and the rest should be RESPONSE (ID GROUP) OFF.

* Do not send PON, POF, OSH, or OLP commands continuously in a short period of time. Doing so may burst the lamp or shorten the lamp replacement cycle.

* When a command that cannot be executed during standby mode is sent, the projector will send an ER401 command in reply.

Notes on projector placement and operation

The projector uses a high-wattage lamp that becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the following precautions.

1. Never place objects on top of the projector while it is operating.

2. Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 500 mm (19-11/16˝) or more around the projector’s exhaust openings.

3. Do not stack projector units directly on top of one another. If two units must be stacked for backup use in ordinary projection, use a method as shown below and provide ample space between the units to ensure that exhaust heat does not accumulate near the intake opening or around the units.

Dual stacked projection is not recommended.

4. Make sure that nothing blocks the projector’s air intake and exhaust openings. Also, install the projector so that cool or hot air from other air conditioning equipment does not flow directly toward the projector’s air intake or exhaust openings.

5. Do not install the projector in an enclosed space. If it is necessary to install it in an enclosed space, add a separate ventilation system. If ventilation is insufficient, hot air will accumulate at the intake opening. This may cause the projector’s protective circuit to interrupt projector operation, or may shorten the replacement cycle for the Auto Cleaning Filter (ACF) Unit.

6. If the projector is installed in an enclosed space, ensure that the temperature of the air surrounding the projector is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). Also make sure that the projector’s intake and exhaust openings are not blocked. Even though the air surrounding the projector is 40°C (104°F) or less, if hot exhaust air accumulates inside the space, it may cause the projector’s protective circuit to interrupt projector operation, or may shorten the replacement cycle for the ACF Unit. Pay particular attention to the surrounding temperature conditions when planning the installation.

7. If the projector is not to be set on the floor using adjuster legs, install it by using the five ceilingmount screw holes (screw diameter: M6, length of each screw hole in the projector: 8 mm (5/16˝)).

Provide a space of 5 to 10 mm (3/16˝ to 13/32˝) between the projector and the mounting surface by inserting metal spacers.

500 mm (19 -11/16 ˝ ) or more

500 mm (19 -11/16 ˝ ) or more

500 mm (19 -11/16 ˝ ) or more

100 mm

( 3-15 /16 ˝ ) or more

Direction of air intake and exhaust

Do not stack projector units directly on top of one another.

Operating the projector continuously

1. If the projector is to be operated continuously 24 hours a day, use the dual-lamp optical system’s alternating lamp operation (lamp relay) function. The projector cannot be operated continuously 24 hours a day in dual-lamp mode. Allow a minimum of two hours per day of non-operation time for each lamp if the projector is to be operated continuously for more than 22 hours.

2. The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is operated repeatedly for short periods.

Replacing the filter unit

The projector is equipped with the Auto Cleaning Filter (ACF) function, which automatically winds the air filter to set a new filter element in place according to operating conditions. The filter unit replacement cycle is approximately 10,000 hours*. Please purchase the ET-ACF310 filter unit for replacement use.

* The replacement cycle given here is a guideline. It may differ depending on the usage environment.

Weights and dimensions shown are approximate. Specifications and appearance are subject to change without notice.

Product availability differs depending on region and country. This product may be subject to export control regulations.
