Safety Instruction
1. Always follow the instructions set forth in this manual when installing the projector
using this bracket.
Improper or inadequate installation could cause the projector to fall and injure someone.
2. The installation must be secure enough to bear the weight of the projector, the ceiling
bracket, and other hardware indefinitely, and must also be secure enough to withstand
vibration.
Inadequate installation could cause the projector to fall and injure someone.
3. To ensure safety, all bolts and screws must be tightened securely.
Loose bolts or screws could cause the projector to fall and injure someone.
4. Use only the parts provided with the bracket, and any other parts (commrecially
available) that are specified in this manual.
Using other parts could cause the projector to fall and injure someone.
5. Do not modify the bracket or the parts provided with the bracket.
Modifying the bracket or the other parts could cause the projector to fall and injure someone.
6. Do not use damaged parts.
Using damaged parts could cause the projector to fall and injure someone.
If any parts become damaged, contact your dealer.
7. Make sure to leave enough open space around the unit to allow heat generated by the
projector to dissipate.
Failure to provide adequate space around the unit could cause the projector to overheat internally, causing a
fire.
8. Before replacing the lamp cartridge, always remove the projector (with the mounting
adapter attached) from the ceiling bracket.
Attempting to replace the lamp cartridge while the projector is attached to the ceiling bracket could cause
the projector or the ceiling bracket to fall and injure someone.

9. Never hang from the projector or the ceiling bracket.
Hanging from the projector or the ceiling bracket could cause the projector or the ceiling bracket to fall and
injure someone.
10. Do not install the projector in a location near an air conditioning vent or in a location
subject to vibration.
Such conditions could have an adverse effect on the projector, and could even cause a fire or electric shock.
11. Do not install the projector in a location that is subject to high levels of dust or
humidity.
Dust accumulating inside the projector could cause a short circuit that in turn could cause a fire or electric
shock.
12. Do not install the projector in a location that is exposed to direct sunlight or in a
location that is subject to extreme fluctuations in temperature (such as near an air
conditioner).
Such conditions can cause the projector housing to warp or to become discolored.
13. Do not wipe the exterior of the ceiling bracket with benzene, paint thinner or cleaning
compounds.
Doing so could damage the finish.
14. Special techniques and experience are essential when installing the projector using
this bracket. Request that your dealer arrange to have the equipment installed. The
customer should never attempt to suspend the projector from the ceiling.
Improper installation could cause the ceiling bracket or the projector to fall and injure someone.
15. Once the projector is installed, safety checks should be conducted on a regular basis.
If the projector is used over an extended period of time, screws can become loose and the installation can
become weaker due to the passage of time, vibration, etc.

Guidelines for the Projector Installation Position and
Screen Size
• The relationship between the projection distance and the screen size is shown below. Use these values as
guidelines for determining the installation position.
When using a 4:3 Screen
Screen size Projection distance (Wide/Tele.)
(inch) (m) (feet, inch)
60 2.4 – 2.9 7’ 10” – 9’ 6”
80 3.2 – 3.9 10’ 6” – 12’ 10”
100 4.0 – 4.9 13’ 1” – 16’
120 4.8 – 5.8 15’ 9” – 19’
150 6.1 – 7.3 20’ – 23’ 11”
200 8.1 – 9.8 26’ 7” – 32’ 2”
When using a 16:9 Screen
Screen size Projection distance (Wide/Tele.)
(inch) (m) (feet, inch)
60 2.6 – 3.2 8’ 6” – 10’ 6”
80 3.5 – 4.2 11’ 6” – 13’ 9”
100 4.4 – 5.3 14’ 5” – 17’ 5”
120 5.3 – 6.4 17’ 5” – 21’
150 6.6 – 8.0 21’ 8” – 26’ 3”
200 8.8 – 10.6 28’ 10” – 34’ 9”
Cautions
• The projection distance is the horizontal distance from the surface of the projector lens to the surface of the screen.
In the case of the DPX-1, the surface of the lens is recessed by approximately 4 cm (1-9/16 inch) from its exterior.
• Although the ceiling bracket permits adjustment of the vertical angle of the projector over a range of ±15˚, a large
angle adjustment will distort the projected image somewhat. Therefore, we recommend adjusting both the angle of
the projector and the angle of the screen.
Adjustment Through Digital Lens Shift
Screen size Distance to top edge of screen
(inch) (cm) (inch)
60 19 – 44 7-1/2 to 17-5/16

digital shift function to adjust the distance from the
center of the projector’s lens to the top edge of the
screen. The range of adjustment is indicated at right.

PMT-H15 Height Adjustment
The height adjustment pole for the PMT-H15 has holes spaced 3 cm apart that can be used to adjust the
height. When the bracket is shipped from the factory, the pole is set at the shortest height.
Follow the procedure described below to adjust the pole to the appropriate height. For details on the
appropriate height, refer to “Guidelines for the Projector Installation Position and Screen Size” on page 8.
[Adjustment Procedure]
1 Remove the safety pin.
2 Loosen the nut, and then remove the height locking
screw.
Removing the height locking screw will unlock the
height adjustment pole from the ceiling bracket. In
order to ensure that the height adjustment pole does
not fall, always hold the pole while performing this
work.
3
Determine the correct position in accordance with the
height of the screen, insert the height locking screw,
and then hand-tighten the nut.
4 Securely tighten the four height adjustment pole
locking screws (M5) provided.
5 Securely tighten the nut that was previously hand-
tightened.
6 Be sure to insert the safety pin.
Finally, after adjusting the height, make sure that the
adjustment pole locking screws and the nut are all
tightened securely. Also make sure that the safety
pin has been inserted properly.

Installation Examples
When the ceiling is made of wood
1 Drill matching holes through the reinforcing
plate and the ceiling in the proper locations
and then pass bolts through the holes.
2 Tighten the bolts to secure the reinforcing
plate to a ceiling beam.
Cautions
• Make sure that the reinforcing plate is strong
enough to bear the weight of the projector and the
ceiling bracket.
• Use M8 bolts (commercially available).

Installing the Projector
1 Mount the projector mounting adapter onto the projector.
Align the holes in the mounting adapter with the holes in the bottom of the projector, and then use the four
projector mounting screws (M6, pan head) provided to securely attach the mounting adapter to the
projector.
Caution
• Do not tighten the projector mounting screws excessively. Excessive tightening could damage the mount and cause
the projector to fall.
2 Attach the safety wire.
Use the four safety wire mounting screws (M4, pan head) provided to attach the safety wires to the
projector mounting adapter. (Use two screws on the left side and two screws on the right.) After tightening
the screws, place the wire loops around the projector’s adjusters, and then tighten the band.

3 Install the ceiling bracket on the ceiling.
First hand-tighten the four nuts, determine the position, and then tighten the nuts securely.
(PMT-L11) (PMT-H15)
Caution
• Use M8 bolts (commercially available) to install the ceiling bracket. Using any bolts other than M8 bolts could
cause the projector to fall.
Note to Dealers and Installers
For the customer’s safety, make sure that the location where the projector is to be installed is strong
enough to bear the weight of the projector, the ceiling bracket, and the other hardware before
installing the ceiling bracket.
4 Hang the projector from the ceiling bracket.
Slide the mounting guide pin all of the way into the notch on the projector mounting adapter. This pin is
only meant to support the projector temporarily, and does not hold the projector securely. Make sure that
the projector does not fall.

Adjusting the Projection Angle
Prior to Adjustment
• After reading the owner’s manual for the projector, turn the projector on, and project an image.
• Check the INSTALLATION item in the SETUP menu, and set the installation status. If projecting from
the front of the unit, select “FRONT/CEILING;” if projecting from the rear of the unit, select “REAR/
CEILING.”
• Select a projection size using the zoom feature, and then adjust the angle.
1 Adjust the horizontal angle.
Adjust the projector so that the projected image is centered horizontally on the screen, and then tighten the
horizontal angle adjustment screws.
