Frequently Asked Questions - ELPMB47 EPSON

How to install the ELPMB47 mount on the ceiling?

Installation requires drilling holes in the ceiling (concrete or wood) at the locations indicated by the included template. Attach the base plate with the included anchors and screws, then assemble the arm and mount head according to the manual. Ensure the ceiling can support the weight of the projector (max 15 kg).

Is the mount compatible with all Epson projectors?

No, the ELPMB47 model is designed for a selection of Epson projectors. Consult the compatibility list in the technical manual. Generally, it is suitable for medium-sized projectors with a standard mounting screw pitch.

How to adjust the projection angle?

The mount allows 360° horizontal rotation and ±15° vertical tilt. Loosen the adjustment knobs, position the projector, then tighten. For precise adjustment, use a spirit level.

Is the mount secure to prevent theft?

Yes, the mount has an integrated security lock. Once the projector is attached, you can engage the lock to prevent removal without a specific tool. This deters theft.

What is the minimum distance between the ceiling and the projector?

The distance can be adjusted from 50 mm to 200 mm. Use the included telescopic rod to set the height as needed. For a shorter distance, cut the rod according to the instructions.

Can I install this mount on a plaster ceiling?

It is not recommended to install this mount directly on plaster as it will not support the weight. Use special plaster anchors or attach it to a wooden beam or concrete ceiling. If necessary, consult a professional.

How to clean the mount without damaging it?

Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents as they may damage the paint or plastic. Avoid touching moving parts with damp cloths.

What to do if a screw or part is missing?

Contact Epson customer service or the retailer. Spare parts such as screws, anchors, and knobs are available. You can also order a repair kit online. Keep the proof of purchase for warranty.

Is it possible to use this mount for a projector of another brand?

Theoretically, if the projector has the same mounting points (often a central hole or four standard screws), it may be compatible. Check the hole distance and weight. However, Epson recommends using it with its own projectors for safety reasons.

How can I download the full manual for the mount?

The manual is available for free on notice-facile.com in PDF format. You can download it directly from the product page. If you cannot find yours, use the translation request form.

Precautions on Where to Mount the Projector

Carefully read the warnings in "Safety Instructions / Support and Service Guide" supplied with your projector before starting the installation to determine a suitable place to install it. In particular, pay attention to the following items.

• Set the projector up in a location where direct sunlight or strong light from fluorescent lamps does not shine onto the receiver for the remote control. Strong light shining onto the receiver for the remote control may interfere with remote control operations.
• Install the projector so it is away from the air outlet of air conditioners or other similar devices. If air from an air conditioner blows directly onto the projector, the surrounding temperature increases and the projector may not operate correctly. ● Make sure there is a big enough gap between the projector and the wall. See the User's Guide supplied with your projector for details on the necessary distance. If the projector is too close to the wall, the surrounding temperature increases and the projector may not operate correctly.
• To limit the effect of external noise, we recommend that you position the projector so that the cable connecting it to a computer or other devices is no longer than 20 meters. ● The projector should be installed in a location that is free from dust and moisture to prevent the lens and internal optical parts from becoming dirty.
• Do not install the projector in a location beyond its operating temperature range. Doing so can cause it to malfunction.
• Closing the curtains in a bright room makes the projected image easier to see.

Moving the Projected Images Higher or Lower

When the images are projected higher or lower compared to the screen, adjust the projection position using the lens shift of the projector.

When moving the projection position vertically over the adjustable range of the lens shift, the projection position can be adjusted another 5 degrees in either direction by tilting the projector.

When tilting the projector, the projected images may be twisted. The images twisted in a trapezoidal shape can be corrected by using the keystone adjustment.

However, the image goes out of focus as the inclination angle increases.

For details on the lens shift and keystone, see the "User's guide" supplied with the projector.

Procedure

① Loosen the two screws for the vertical angle adjustment points on the left and right using the supplied M8 hexagon wrench. ② Tilt the rear of the projector vertically to adjust the angle until the position of the projected images fits the screen. ③ After adjusting the angle, secure the screws on both sides using the M8 hexagon wrench.

Tilting the Projected Images to the Right or Left

When the projected image is tilted to the right or left compared to the screen, tilt the projector ±5 degrees to adjust the projection position.

Procedure

① Loosen the four screws for the horizontal roll adjustment points at the front and rear using the supplied M8 hexagon wrench. ② Tilt the projector to the left or right to adjust the angle until the position of the projected images fits the screen. ③ After adjusting the angle, secure the screws on both sides using the M8 hexagon wrench.

Adjusting the Size of the Projected Images

When the projected images are too big or too small for the screen, try adjusting the size of the image on the projector first. For details on adjusting the size of the image, see the "User's Guide" supplied with the projector.

To adjust the size of the image, you can slide the projector forward or backward by ±30 mm by following the steps below.

Procedure

1. Loosen the four screws for the front/rear slide adjustment points on the left and right using the supplied M8 hexagon wrench. 2. Slide the projector forward or backward to adjust the projected image until it fits the screen. 3. After adjusting the position, secure the screws using the M8 hexagon wrench.

Installing the Safety Wires

After installing the projector on the ceiling, take additional precautions to secure it in place and prevent it from falling or rolling.

Pass the wires provided diagonally through the projector plate using the wire clips to prevent the projector from falling.

If the concrete is not strong enough or has deteriorated, fortify it with reinforcing bars or something similar. ● Install the anchor bolts according to the specifications and methods of the manufacturer of the materials so they do not come out, become loose, or shift.

Procedure

1. Locate two commercially available anchor bolts at the end of a diagonal line on the ceiling.

We recommend locating the anchor bolts within 1 meter from the center of the projector.

Use M12 anchor bolts.

2. Loop the two safety wires around the two bolts and secure them firmly.

Make sure that the wire loops are under the flat washers, and then tighten the hexagon nuts.

3. Loosen the screws of the wire clip, and then pass the end of the safety wire through the wire clip and a hole on the projector plate.

④ Pull the end of the wire rope out from under the projector plate and pass it through the wire clip.

⑤ Stretch the safety wire as tight as possible without causing the position of the projected image to move, and then tighten the screws of the wire clip loosely to secure the wire.

Caution

After installing the safety wire, check the following points. If by any chance the wire is damaged, replace it with a commercially available wire rope of 1.5 mm or more in diameter.

● The wire is not frayed or unraveling. ● The wire is not bent at an acute angle against the edge of the flat washer or other object.

⑥ Perform steps 3 to 5 again for the other safety wire and fix it to the projector plate as well.

⑦ After installing the safety wires, move each wire clip in the direction shown in the illustration and tighten the screws of the clips.

Caution

• If the supplied safety wires are too short for where you are installing the projector, use commercially available wire ropes of 1.5 mm or more in diameter. ● Cut off any extra wire rope after installation.
