Install The Ir Dome Sensor - Epson ELPMC02 User Manual

Install the IR Dome Sensor

The IR dome sensor is the next thing you'll need to install. To ensure proper audio
reception, the IR dome sensor should be positioned to have direct line of sight to most
areas of the room. The IR dome sensor should also be mounted in a location free of
obstructions and away from strong light sources. When choosing a location for the IR
dome sensor, keep the following in mind:
■
Do not install the IR dome sensor or coaxial cable near power cables. This can cause
unwanted audio noise or reduce the sensitivity and range of the IR dome sensor.
■
Do not bind the coaxial cable to any other cables.
■
Do not install the IR sensor near strong light sources, such as incandescent bulbs,
halogen lamps, fluorescent lights, or a window.
■
The IR dome sensor must be mounted at least 3.28 feet (1 meter) away from
fluorescent lights.
■
Do not install the IR dome sensor in a dusty environment. This can reduce the
sensitivity and range of the IR dome sensor.
■
Do not paint the cover of the IR dome sensor.
■
The use of IR remote controls of any kind can interrupt the sound or cause noise.
■
The IR dome sensor receives reflected signals from the walls, floor, and ceiling. The
reception may be reduced if the wall, floor, or ceiling colors are dark.
■
The sound may break up if the IR dome sensor is installed near a window or in a
room with a lot of windows. Apply light-colored curtains or blinds to improve the
sound quality.
■
Install the IR dome sensor on a ceiling that is less than 9.8 feet (3 meters) high. If the
ceiling is too high, the IR dome sensor may not be able to receive the microphone's
signal from directly under the IR dome.
Note: Epson strongly recommends that the IR dome sensor be installed by a
professional audio/video installer or other qualified professional. Epson cannot provide
advice concerning construction practices or building codes in your area.
Locate the following parts:
■
IR dome sensor
■
Coaxial cable
Warning: Make sure that the ceiling is strong enough to support the IR dome sensor
and coaxial cable. Epson accepts no responsibility for the IR dome sensor falling due to
insufficient ceiling strength or inadequate installation.
