Installation Considerations

Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are

installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account

to ensure your projector performs optimally.

Ambient Light

In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your

images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft

of light from a window or oodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed

out and less vibrant.

Requires separate room Installation cost is usually higher.

Throw Distance

Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This

is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you

have enough room to install your projector with a de-sired screen size and if your image

will be the right size for your screen. You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking

the width of the screen and multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-2. The result

of this calculation tells you roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from

the screen in order to project a focused image large enough to ll the screen.

Throw Distance (TD) = Screen Width (W) x Throw Ratio (TR)

Screen Width (SW)

Throw Distance (TD)

Note:

H8030 is available with multiple lens options. The standard H8030 offers throw ratios

between 1.85:1 - 2.40:1. With the optional, short-throw lens with throw ratios between

1.56:1 - 1.86:1, and long-throw lens with throw ratios between 2.40:1 – 4.0:1.

■ Rear projection - desktop installation

Advantage: The projector is completely hidden

of ambient noise.

Disadvantage: Requires an additional room for

Projector

■ Frontal projection - ceiling mode

Advantage: Does not occupy oor space does not

draw attention to it. Eliminates the possibility that

someone would accidentally move the projector.

Disadvantage: Stricter installation requirements

and conditions; care should be taken during the

installation to ensure the projector has been

securely mounted. Operation of the projector

becomes inconvenient without the remote control.

The maximum tilt angle for the projector is 15 degrees.

When the projector is tilted more than 15 degrees, it will shorten the life of the projector

lamp and may lead to other unpredictable damages.

Can’t > 15˚

Other Considerations

• Install the projector in an environment below 35°C (95°F). The projector should be kept

clear from sources of heat and / or ventilation openings of air conditioner.

• The projector should be kept away from devices that emit electromagnetic energy,

such as motor and transformer. Common devices that emit electromagnetic energy

include slideshow system, speakers, power ampliers and elevators.

• If you choose to install the projector on the ceiling, be sure to use the ceiling

installation

components manufactured by manufacturer-certied vendors. For details,

please contact your local dealer.

• Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent.

Lens Shift

Vertical Lens Shift

The H8030 has a lens shift capability which allows the vertical movement of the image

without moving the projector. Lens shift is generally expressed as a percentage of the

screen height. For ceiling mounted projectors, the lens can be moved 120% (0.6V)

downward, while the lens can be moved 120% (0.6V) up or down on a desktop mounted

projector.

0.6V

Horizontal Lens Shift

The H8030 has a lens shift capability which allows the horizontal movement of the image

without moving the projector. The lens can be moved 30% (0.15H) to the right or left within

the housing.

Note:

This is a general example of lens shift. Lenses vary in their shift capabilities.
