Positioning The Projector - Epson ELPMB62 Installation Manual

4 Positioning the Projector

The BrightLink 1480Fi/1480Fi+/1485Fi/1485Fi+ can project a 16:10 image up to 90 inches diagonally, a 16:9
image up to 100 inches diagonally, a 4:3 image up to 80 inches diagonally, or a 16:6 (BrightLink 1485Fi/
1485Fi+ only) or 21:9 image up to 120 inches diagonally.
This guide covers select image sizes. For other image sizes, use the Throw Distance
Calculator at
www.epson.com/support (U.S.), www.epson.ca/support (Canada), or
www.epson.com.jm/support (Latin America).
You can project onto a pre-installed whiteboard or directly onto a plain wall.
The height of the included wall mount determines the maximum image size and how high the image appears
on the wall or whiteboard. The distance of the projector from the wall (once it is mounted on the adjustable
arm of the wall mount) also affects image size and position.
If you want to install the Touch Unit outside of the frame of a whiteboard, use the optional Touch Unit Bracket.
If the distance from the wall to the surface of the whiteboard is greater than 2 inches (51 mm) or the frame of
the whiteboard extends more than 0.1 inch (3 mm) away from the board surface, you must install the Touch
Unit on the whiteboard or screen.
If you are planning to project on a whiteboard, the image may not fill the entire board, depending on the
aspect ratio. If you match the image height to the board's height, gaps may appear on the sides of the board.
Use the following worksheets to determine the proper location of the wall plate on the wall. If you are
projecting onto a pre-installed whiteboard, use the worksheet on page 22. If you are projecting on a plain
wall, use the worksheet on page 24.
When installing the Touch Unit on a whiteboard (if applicable), make sure there are no
cables, whiteboard trays, pen holders, or thick frames in the following areas around
the edge of the board:
❏
From the top of the projected image to the bottom of the Touch Unit: 0.79 to 2
inches (20 to 50 mm) for 16:6 (BrightLink 1485Fi/1485Fi+ only) and 21:9 aspect
ratios; 0.22 to 2 inches (5.7 to 50 mm) for all other aspect ratios
❏
From the edges of the projected image to the edges of the board: at least 4 inches
(100 mm) left and right
❏
From the bottom of the projected image to the bottom of the board: 0.8 inch
(20 mm)
If there are obstacles such as within the areas listed above, the Touch Unit will not
operate properly.
