5. Fitting the projector in the frame

Step1: Place the projector upside down on a suitable flat surface. For easier access, you may first remove the upper ring before mounting the projector. Please refer to chapter “6. Removing the Upper Ring – Installation Version”. Otherwise it is recommended to place an appropriate material underneath the projector so that it is lifted up for about 10 cm. This will help during the following process.

Step 2: Position the frame over the projector so that the adjustment screw is at the back, aligning the M6 screw holes. Please put the projector in the right position so that the front/back position is correct when installing. Otherwise, the position of the holes will not match.

Step 3: Place the 4 x Ø6 Schnorr Washers (2) over each corresponding hole. Secure the 4 x M6x30 ISO 7380 screws (1) into each hole with 4 Nm torque. Ensure each screw runs through the plate and catches into the corresponding M6 hole in the projector surface.

Please make sure to use only the correspondent screw holes when installing a projector!

Do not forget to use the 4 x Ø6 Schnorr Washers (2) as they are preventing the screws to loose themselves!

In case you removed the upper ring during Step 1 please now refer to chapter “7. Reinstalling the Upper Ring” and attach the upper ring back to the base.

6. Removing the Upper Ring – Installation Version

The purpose of the Installation Version is to have a quick, simple, and tool-free possibility to install the ELPLX02 ultra-short throw lens, or any other short throw lenses, without any limitation regarding the frame.

Step 1: Remove the 4 x spring clips as presented in the above picture. Because the spring of the spring clip is strong, please be careful not to clamp your fingers between the spring and the attachment nut.

Step 2: Unscrew the 4 x attachment nuts (as presented in the above picture) until they are completely loose and can be moved up and down freely.

Step 3: Remove the Upper Ring and you will have the Installation Version of the frame.

Step 4: Now the ELPLX02 ultra-short throw lens can be attached to the projector.Note: The image shown above is for illustration only, please refer to the Epson user manual for installation of the lens ELPLX02.

7. Reinstalling the Upper Ring

Step 1: Remove the ELPLX02 ultra-short throw lens.

Step 2: Reposition the Upper Ring on the top of the Bottom Ring in such a way that the 4 x attachment nuts are on the corresponding position.

Step 3: Tighten back the 4 x attachment nuts until there is no play and the attachment nuts can not be moved up or down.

Step 4: In the process of attaching the Upper Ring back to the frame, as a last step, please don’t forget to reinsert the 4 x spring clips back into the attachment nut. Because the spring of the spring clip is strong, please be careful not to clamp your fingers between the spring and the attachment nut.

8. Adjustment options

Roll:Using the hand levers to the left and right you can adjust the position of the projector with an angle of ±2.7 degrees.

You can lower or lift the front left or right corner.

To roll the projector around the center axis, the two hand levers must be turned in opposite directions.

Pitch:Also by using the two hand levers at the sides you can lower the projector with an angle of -3.5 degrees and lift it with an angle of +4.3 degrees.

Yaw:By turning the adjustment screw below the projector, you can move the back of the projector to the left or to the right with an angle of ±3.3 degrees.

9. Stacking frames

Step 1: Place the upper frame with mounted projector on top of the lower frame with mounted projector. Make sure the four male bolts enter into the correspondent female bolts. To secure, insert the locking pins through the holes in the female bolts. Always make sure that the locking pins are locked after being inserted.

10. Mounting the frame on a truss

To hang the frame on a truss one must use the recommended 4 x M6 or the 4 x M8 threaded holes to attach a mounting accessory like the TH-SHORT-60-6 or TH-SHORT-150-8. Use only the original and recommended accessories for this procedure.

Another mounting option is using the optional Portrait Adapter FRAME-PF-UNI-PORAD that can be mounted on the frame and then hung on the truss. For further information regarding the setup of the Portrait Adapter (FRAME-PF-UNI-PORAD), please consult in the FRAME-PFUNI-PORAD installation manual.

Always secure the frame using appropriate safety steel cables. Make sure they are chosen correctly regarding strength, format, and length. Please avoid high dynamic forces by ensuring that the frame will not drop more than 5 cm into the safety.

Please consult the local laws or regulations regarding the additional safety of hanging equipment.

11. Maximum stacking information

Please refer to the tables below to confirm proper usage.Do not try to setup the frame in other positions as presented, because accidents can occur!

12. System maintenance and inspection (Re-examination)

The FRAME-EVO-E10 does not require special maintenance but a visual inspection must be done prior to every installation in which the system is involved:

Before and after each installation, the M6 and M8 mounting holes must be carefully inspected, as they may get damaged during the installation of the hanging accessory.
Please carefully examine the M6 and M8 mounting holes by looking inside each one of them and make sure the thread is not broken or damaged in any way.
Please make a visual inspection to be sure that all the screws are in the right place and none are missing.
Make sure that the screws, nuts, stacking pins, connection rods, mounting plate, and all the components are not bended, damaged, or broken.
If any parts are broken or missing, please contact the seller so he can provide the spare parts.

Bottom view:

On the three screws + nuts presented in the above picture, a red color sealing wax was applied to be sure that the nuts will always be in the same position and no one will try to tighten or loosen them.
Do not try to manipulate the nuts, because the adjustment mechanism can be blocked and accidents can occur!
If one notices that the sealing wax is broken or the nut is moved, please contact the manufacturer!
Except for the situation described on the previous point, please control, withcorresponding tool, that all the other screws are properly tightened.

Do not exchange broken or malfunctioning parts with ones that are not accredited by the manufacturer because serious injuries and property damage can occur!

The inspection must be done by a qualified person!

One meticulous inspection must be performed every year. For that, a qualified person needs to carefully check that none of the components are damaged or broken.
