WARNING:

Do not look at or place your skin into the light emitted from the lens while the projector is being used.

Doing so can cause burns or loss of sight.

• Strong light is emitted from the projector's lens. Do not look at or place your hands directly into this light.
  ● Turn off the power when moving away from the projection lens or projector.

Do not project an image with the lens cover attached.

● Doing so can cause fire.

CAUTION:

Before replacing the projection lens, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet.

● Unexpected projection of light may cause injury to eyes.
● Replacing the projection lens without removing the power plug may result in electric shock.

Do not stand in front of the lens while the projector is being used.

Doing so can cause damage and burns to clothing.

- Strong light is emitted from the projector's lens.

Do not place objects in front of the lens while the projector is being used.

Doing so can cause fire, damage to the object, or malfunction of the lens and projector.

- Strong light is emitted from the projector's lens.

■ Hazard distance (IEC/EN 62471-5:2015)

The distance from the projection lens surface, at which the emission reaches the Accessible Emission Limit (AEL) of risk group 2, is known as the hazard distance (HD) or safety distance. The area where the emission exceeds the Accessible Emission Limit of risk group 2 is called the hazard zone (HZ).

Within the hazard zone, never look into the light projected from the projector. The eyes may be damaged by direct irradiation even if you look at the light just for a moment. If you are outside the hazard zone, it is considered to be safe in all circumstances except deliberately staring into the light projected from the projector.

Risk group

The combination of the projector and the projection lens is categorized as risk group 2 when the hazard distance is 1 m (39-3/8") or less. It is categorized as risk group 3 when the hazard distance exceeds 1 m (39-3/8"), and it will be for professional use instead of consumer use.

In the case of risk group 3, there is a possibility of damaging the eyes by direct irradiation when looking into the projection light from inside the hazard zone even for a moment.

In the case of risk group 2, safe use without damaging the eyes is possible in all circumstances except deliberately staring into the light projected from the projector.

The combination of projector and projection lens classified as risk group 3 with a hazard distance greater than 1 m (39-3/8") is as follows.

Projector model Projector lens model Risk group
PT-REQ12 / PT-REQ10 / PT-REQ80 ET-C1T700 Risk group 3

Read this first! (continued)

Furthermore, each dimension to indicate the hazard area (Hz) for a combination with a projection lens that has a hazard distance exceeding 1 m (39-3/8") is as follows.

(Unit: m)

Projector model	Projector lens model	HD*1	D1*2	D2*2	D3*2	D4*2
PT-REQ12 ET-C1T700	2.4 0.481 0.481 0.5	53 0.553
PT-REQ10 / PT-REQ80	ET-C1T700 1.7 0.3	47 0.347 0.39	9 0.399

*1 HD: Hazard distance
*2 The values of D1 to D4 will change in accordance with the lens shift amount. Each value in the table is the maximum value.

Note

● The values in the table are based on IEC/EN 62471-5:2015.
- The projectors compatible with each projection lens may be added or changed without notice. For the latest information, refer to the following website. https://panasonic.net/cns/projector/

Attention

- If the light projected from the projector directly enters the eyes while you are inside the hazard zone, the retinas may be damaged. Do not enter the hazard zone during use. Alternatively, install the projector in a location where the projected light will not directly enter the eyes.

Before Use

■ Supported projectors

PT-REQ12 / PT-REQ10 / PT-REQ80

Note

● This manual omits the alphabets at the end of projector model numbers.
- Models other than the above may also be supported. Refer to the operating instructions for your projector or the following website. https://panasonic.net/cns/projector/

■ Supplied Accessories

Make sure that the following has been provided.

Part name Appearance (quantity)
Lens cover			● The product is delivered with lens covers attached.● The shape and size of the lens covers are different for each pro-duct.1 each for front and rear

Preparation

Before replacing the projection lens

Return the projection lens to the home position before replacing or removing it. For details on how to return the lens to the home position, refer to the operating instructions of the projector.

Attention

● Make sure that the projector power supply is switched off before attaching or detaching the projection lens.
● After removing the projection lens, store it safely away from vibration or impacts.
- Do not touch the electric contact points of the projection lens with your fingers. Dust and dirt on the contacts may cause contact malfunctions, while static electricity may damage the unit.
- Do not turn the gear (ring) part of the projection lens barrel by hand. Doing so may damage the motor.
- Do not touch the surface of the lens with bare hands. Finger prints and dirt on the surface of the lens will be magnified by the lens and lower the quality of the projected image. Place the supplied lens cover on the zoom lens when the projector is not in use.
- The lens may become damaged by hitting with a hard object or by wiping the front surface of the lens with excessive force. Handle with care.
- Use a clean, soft and dry cloth to wipe away dust and dirt from the projection lens. Do not use fl uffy cloths containing oil, water or dust for cleaning. The lens is easily damaged, so do not apply excessive pressure when wiping it.

Attaching the Lens / Detaching the Lens

For details on attaching or removing the projection lens, refer to the operating instructions for the projector.

Peripheral focus adjustment function

When you change the size of the projected image, the focal balance between the center and peripheral areas of the screen may shift.

The ET-C1W300 / ET-C1W400 / ET-C1W500 is equipped with a peripheral focus adjustment function to correct the shift in focal balance between the center and peripheral areas of the screen.

For instructions on adjusting the peripheral focus, refer to “Projecting” in the operating instructions for the projector.

Projection relationships

The dimensional relationship between the screen and the projector is shown below.

■ Dimensional relationship diagram

Note

• This diagram assumes that the size and position of the projected image will be adjusted so that the image fills the entire screen.
  ● This illustration is not drawn to scale.

Note

- The illustrations of projectors in this manual are for informational purposes only and do not represent a specific projector model. Configurations may vary with the model.

Attention

● To prevent obstruction of the intake and exhaust vents, install the projector with a clearance from walls and objects. For details about the required distance from surrounding walls and objects, refer to the operating instructions for your projector.

If you are installing the projector in a sealed space, be sure to provide additional air conditioning equipment and ventilation equipment. Insufficient ventilation will result in an accumulation of heat and may activate the projector's protection circuit.

- Avoid setting up in places which are subject to sudden temperature changes, such as near an air conditioner or lighting equipment (studio lamps, etc.).

Projection relationships (continued)

■ Dimensional relationship

For details on the projection distance (L), refer to “Projected image size and Projection distance” and “Projection distance formulas” in the Appendix.

Note

- For details on "Projected image size and Projection distance" for projector models other than PT-REQ12 / PT-REQ10 / PT-REQ80, refer to "Setting up" in the operating instructions of the projector.

Lens shift ranges

Perform the lens position shift within the adjustment range.

Perform lens shift adjustment within the ranges shown in the following illustrations.

The focus may change when the lens position is shifted out of the adjustment range.

This is because the movement of the lens is restricted to protect the optical parts.

Projection position can be adjusted with the optical axis shift based on the home position in the respective range.

ET-C1W400 / ET-C1W500 /ET-C1S600 / ET-C1T700	Optical axis center Standard projection position
ET-C1W300	Optical axis center Standard projection position

Note

● The home position of the projector is a point of origin position for the lens shift (i.e., vertical and horizontal positions of the lens) based on the results of lens calibration. It is not the optical center position of the screen.

Specifications

Check the specifications of each projection lens, and use the appropriate lens for your intended use.
