There is a 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. It is recommended to physically test the projection size and distance before permanently installing the projector.
Mounting the Projector
- NOTE: If you buy a third party mount, please use the correct screw size. Screw size can vary depending on the thickness of the mounting plate.
- To ensure the most secure installation, please use a ViewSonic® wall or ceiling mount.
- Ensure the screws used to attach the mount to the projector meet the following specifications:
- Screw type: M4 x 8
- Maximum Screw Length: 8 mm
- To access the ceiling mount points, remove the three (3) foot pads on the bottom of the projector.
CAUTION
- Avoid installing the projector near a heat source.
- Keep at least a 10 cm (3.9 in.) gap between the ceiling and the bottom of the projector.
